List of possible towns/cities?

[Lord Stig]

Anyone know if there is a list of possible towns and cities that can pop up in a region?

Main reason I ask is to see if Karlskoga in Sweden can show up on the map. Would love to be able to really make it the munitions captial of Europe

Unless Empire total war, there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive system for town creation...honestly i miss empire total war and just wish the AI wasn't so rabid in it because people needed to be harassed 24/7 to have fun.

There must be because the same towns pop up each game

Do they? i honestly spend more time organizing my construction list (seriously, what is this people talk about letting the auto upgrade? I NEVER run out of things i need built directly and need to tweak) and staring at the market tab.

iirc the generated towns are not affected by any urban building. The towns are linked to mines, farms, harbours and logging camps. So there's a maximum of 4 towns + regional capital in each region, and the towns are predefined

you can check this quite easy in colonial regions:
in a newly colonized region there isn't any town or city, if you build a harbor it's always at same spot, even if not yet colonized (or controlled by someone else). If you build the first farm or planatation, it's also always the same spot - and so on.

Found a list under \Steam\steamapps\common\Victoria 3\game\localization\english\hub_names_l_english.yml which seems to be the one you're looking for. @kesat is correct in that the towns are predefined, and Karlskoga is not on there, but you may be able to mod the game and replace one of the other towns (although the map coordinates may be hardcoded).

The ability to rename towns and regions would be nice for Colonies

Thank you so much for this information, sad its not in the game as its a famous place in this time period. But as you said maby mods or a future update can fix that

Oh didt know, Kinda wish it was a bit more random so that not every play looked the same but might be to much work to not make it look weird late game
