Setting the LAN Player name

[elf-stone]

I thought I'd post this here, since I was searching for it earlier and couldn't find it. If you want to override your player name for LAN games like you could in Civ5, you'll find it's no longer exposed in the menus. However, you can modify it by editing UserOptions.txt in the "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI" folder and specifying a value for the LANPlayerName property. If you don't specify a value here, it'll fall back to your OS username.

Maybe this only works in hotseat, but I was able to just click the pen icon next to my player name to change it in the lobby. Unless, of course, you were explaining how to set a default name.
