Cooler World Names

Description
Increases the variety of generated names for the world and locations. Adds 103 roots to MYTHIC and 31 roots to NAME_REGION for approximately 10,000 new world name combinations.
The region name produces a variety of tones, some epic, some grim, some a little goofy, some use a time as a setting rather than a location. Other combinations refer to the world as a narrative and if characters mention that, we can have a little fourth-wall-breaking for fun.
You can venture through the East Burn and the Canyon of Harmonizing to reach the Tree of Cobalt - all of these biomes in the world known as the Rift of Forests benefitting from addition to symbols.
Updated based on The Way the Words Work - now almost all language symbols are expanded using SELECT, rather than replacing everything. This keeps it to the highest standard of compatibility of my language mods.

No symbols have been removed, so I've marked it compatible.

Thanks for the update. Is it safe to update language mods like this mid save?

@Amelio the "feminist dream" is equal wages, not enslaving a bunch of dorks like you.

I'm still getting the SHRUB and SPHERE error.

Man is just shorthand in that context for human, it is not gender specific and never has been.

cool didn't know it, assumed some differences in vanilla for characters, but lol "the age of women" come to mind something like matriarchy society with males as literal slaves, the femminist dream

How dare you accuse me of trolling?
DPh Kraken  [author] Jul 2, 2023 @ 9:11pm 
They appear to be trolling, but I'll answer legitimately. I did add [S_WORD:MAN] and not [S_WORD:WOMAN] to MYTHIC, reflecting the poetic use of "man" to refer to the entire species (and likely also to their dwarven, elven, and even goblin kin).
Using "woman" in the same context generally sounds weirder, and even the game's language files are built on that assumption. "The Age of Woman" is not supported by vanilla procedural grammar, while "The Age of Man" is.
As for gendered character names, that's something that's not in the base game and there's no tokens to tell the game to. The original Urist was a lady dwarf, but like all names they're culturally gender-neutral.

no women / male specific names with this mod?

women aren't real (women don't exist) with this mod
