Better Empire Names Reborn

Description
This a newly remade minimod aimed at fixing one of the smaller nuisances in Stellaris - the fact that seemingly every empire in the galaxy is named after the species that rules it. This is a fine old sci-fi cliche, but its silliness starts to become a lot more apparent when you run into the "Human Federation".

This mod adjusts the available empire name formats, as well as their generation chances, resulting in a broader range of possible empire names, most of which will be named after their home planet. Some examples of names generated using this mod include:

  • The Assembly of Stars
  • The Xania Union
  • The United Nations of Earth
  • The Kingdom of Sejeth
  • The Kenjodan Dominion
  • The People's Democratic Socialist Republic of Sanacan
  • The International Space Agency
  • The Warriors of the Bloody Flame
  • The United Federation of Planets
  • The United Nations Space Command
  • The Covenant
  • The People's Federation of Peoples

(hey, nobody's perfect)

Thank you for the great mod if you choose to be done with it after 3.6 broke it :) I see it’s been 8 months since the last update.

naming format got changed a bit in 3.6, basically all the lookups part in the code is broken now.

I noticed way too late, that all my random empires dont have names. Is there a way to regen all the names ?
SomeTrashGuy Dec 3, 2022 @ 4:36pm 
I don't know if this is Gigastructural Engineering or this mod doing it (probably this one) but all the nations I did not make in the 3.6 game I just started are literally nonexistent. They have no names. So... I'm gonna say no it's probably not compatible with 3.6 yet.

Does this work with 3.5?

Is the mod achievement compatible?

Really like this mod, the names are so much better!
I encountered a small bug when a Fallen Empire awakened (the materialist one): their name changed to just 'of Logic' (missing the first part).
I've also had a typo when becoming the Galactic Emperor: my nation (a machine intelligence) was renamed to 'Galatic Matrix' (missing a c), but I suspect this comes from the main game.

Hi Galle; noticed that one of my ingame countries has an underscore(_) as part of its name.

So I went into your mod localisation file and noticed a missing "_" in the definitions;

the Heavens:0 "the Heavens" should read:

the_Heavens:0 "the Heavens"

Hope that helps!
