Will we be able to name our towns

[BCGaming05]

im at the level of village or was it town, cant remember but its the one above settlement. i thought by now i could name it or a name would show up on the map.

[Zurr'vahn]

I was thinking about it too, it could be a nice feature ;) After all, a village without a name is not a village

[The Lazy Gamer]

That would be nice feature, could even be as simple as buildable sign or something

[Goldi:AI]

I would like that too. While we're at it: What would you name your village?

[SmlehliW]

aggree ... and i would like to give my own names to my save-games for marking special steps

right, this thread is 3 years old lol

But after 3 years still no possibility to name our own town (we can name our hens and every house in the town) can't be so difficult to add this option (press "H") to our town and show it on the map, where we even can track our moving citizens like with the Harry Potter map?) ... and btw have a fast travel point like all the others minor hamlets have ;)

A terminus for fast travel that allows us to give our village name and put it on the map.

I *think* that would be technically very difficult. Yes you can name a house (it has 'label') so do people, animals etc. Decorative items (wash basins/stands etc) I doubt have 'labels'

You can store things on/in a label so first they need to somehow create something with a label. That may be possible with some sort of sign post. (hence name the village)

Now fast travel man... That is even harder. You now need to store map co-ords that are user generated. (the travel form point)... AND movable in case you move your village.... So every transit man at the villages must also be given that co-ords (that may change by user) so you can get back.... Then those that have several settlements would want to name them... ie North Farm / South Mine... and then they want a travel man there.. Even more complicated co-ords for the travel men..

So with my *OLD* programming knowledge Village names .. possible. Travel man Not Possible. (I was a coder back in the days of Mnemonics, Perl; Fortran; Pascal, DOS). Things are now very different. I am glad I am NOT a developer now with the constraints of what the 'Game Engine'and graphic cards (DX(x)) can or cannot handle.

I'm sure someone out there will know more than I do.. (I stopped learning coding dozens of years ago)

@ The REAL chris,

I don't think programming is the issue, but rather that it's worth spending time on for free.

I'd be happy if it was just a marker we put on the map.

The devs have already given us so much, but this is just a suggestion.

Chris (The REAL one), I agree with 61. I think it would be easy to add player wagoner(s). It's essentially a building and its location (coordinates and direction) would be stored the same as any other. The only difference is that it has a return point, but that's the same as the player's house, which has a return point that's used if you're out and about on season change.

If there were a challenge, programmatically, it would be how to handle multiple player wagoners. Of that, I think the real challenge would be the UX/UI: do you put a limit on number of wagoners? if so, how many? if not, what happens with the wagoner's town selection list if the list exceeds the amount of displayable names. Blah, blah, and etc.

Is it worth spending the time to make this addition? If you ask me, YES PLEASE! I mean, if I was being asked.

I always make a town name in my saves. Three Falls, Bear Creek, Soggy Bottom (by the swamp, near Sambor).
