This is a REPLACEMENT MOD, not a patch. Please UNSUBSCRIBE/UNINSTALL any prior version of More Nations Mod or Immersive Names before using.

You should be able to replace either component mod with this mod in the middle of a saved campaign.

What is More Nations and Names?

It's a combination of mods that affect the generation of randomized characters, which include soldiers, engineers, scientists, mission VIPs, and in Long War 2, haven personnel:

* More Nations Mod: Adds 166 nationalities and flags, most with their own custom namelists.

* Immersive Names: Improves the name generation of the vanilla nationalities with much larger namelists, accurate ethnic representation, and adjusted name frequencies.

These mods didn't play well together. So with Astograph's permission I combined them.

The original mods both tried to adjust the same country weights, i.e., how often characters come from certain countries. The vanilla countries will appear most often in this version, but you'll still see a bunch of characters from minor countries every game.

Assembled by DaggaRoosta with permission from Astograph. Permissions for use for this mod's assets do not extend past permissions given in either component mod.

VERSION 1.6 CHANGELOG:

* Changed Syrian flag to current (post-Assad) version.
* Slightly boosted the likelihood of appearance for characters from Syria (recent wars)

VERSION 1.5 CHANGELOG:

* Reworked Russian and Ukranian namelists to more accurately reflect minority populations:
+ Created a new set of Tatar namelists for use in both countries
+ Included proportionate representation for ethnic groups fairly represented by namelists from neighboring countries
+ Slightly boosted the likelihood of appearance for characters from both Russia and Ukraine (recent war = more potential for future fighters)
Thanks to Komissar Gebet for the suggestions.

VERSION 1.4 CHANGELOG:

* Added some Skirmisher names. Thanks to Withstandinator for pointing out the mod lacked this feature, and ChatGPT for coming up with the new names.

VERSION 1.3 CHANGELOG:

* Compatability update. Refactored the existing code so it plays nicer with other mods that edit the vanilla countries. Many thanks to Iridar for discovering the issues and providing guidance for a fix.

VERSION 1.2 CHANGELOG:

* Added country localization:
+ All country names should show up correctly if playing the game in English, French, German, Spanish or Italian
+ Character names will still be the same as in previous versions

* I ditched the UK in favor of having characters from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland instead. Just trying to resolve the bizarre decision by Firaxis to have the UK and Scotland separately represented. Should be safe with existing savegames, the UK assets are all still there, but you won't draw new UK characters anymore

VERSION 1.1 CHANGELOG:

* Reworked Russian ethnic namelists to eliminate clearly non-Russian ethnic names

* Changed the overall balance of default languages among both vanilla and added nations to create more variability of languages encountered during gameplay, using the most popular in-game language where possible

* Small changes: removed and replaced duplicates in Estonian namelists, moved Morocco from East African group to North African group and replaced with Kenya
