how do i use this mod bro

Calradia is its own world and should be enjoyed as such, just because it draws parallels to real history doesn't mean it has to adhere to everything IRL, it has its own lore and world building, and being inspired by something doesn't mean you have to stick to it like a rule.

(1) How many times should I repeat "Calradia is a fictional continent," Sir Prof. Historician?
(2) Vlandian names are picked from multiple sources, not only Anglo-Saxon. Would you mind never complaining without using?

it is pretty weird that Vlandia gets Anglo-Saxon names, given they are Pre=French Franks and Flems. Saxons and Angels are on the other side of the Benelux

But Vlandians are based off the Flemish, they were Frankish, not Anglo Saxon, those are two distinct cultures?

@ Vova

Thanks for the reply. I have written a long-ass response, but it is way too long apparently. How can I give that to you? Should I post it here part by part?

***

TLDR: I discussed some historical context, and the syntax for the names and nicknames. Then I gave actual source names, suggested checking some websites like Wikipedia, Britannica etc. and strongly suggested the usage of LLMs at the end.

*Source Suggestions*
Mongolian: The Secret History of Mongols Altan Tobchi, Jami' al-Tawarikh by Rashid al-Din, some online dictionaries.

Turkic: Orkhun Inscrıptions, Kutatgu Bilig, Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk (literally a dictionary from the 11c), Yenisei Inscriptions, The Book of Dede Korkut, Codex Cumanicus and some online dictionaries.

PS: Check the Warband mod called "Eagle and the Radiant Cross". They perfectly emulated some states of Europe, with clever names.

@Arturion

I'm already planning to replace many names drastically in the next update, thus some strange names will be removed. However, note my key motives for this mod (mentioned in the linked page), please. There are still various naming traditions per culture in real life: by-name, nickname, cognomen, and so on. In my opinion, giving such "non-standardized" names to people in Middle Ages Calradia doesn't lose immersion. So I included names that are not strictly thought of as personal names. Although such names should be removed as far as possible if it is confusing for users, I don't want to reduce the size of name pools. Hence, if you want to remove such names or add more Turkic-Mongolian names, tell me where the credible source is, please.

Very nice idea and job. Just a small remark and feedback. Khuzait looks fully Mongolian, while the idea behind this faction is "Turko-Mongol" as the culture. On the very first screenshot, at the bottom right, there is a guy called "Rancid Maqa Tudun". Tudun was the title for governors in Kokturk Khaghanate, during 6th - 8th century, and probably related to the Saxon title "theoden - leader of people", like tigin-thane duo. There are good number of resources that can give you Turkic names from that era.

@米塔 Interesting. Yes, my source also says so. I accept the spell "Nai-ma-chen" because the Bannerlord can't display its letter (J + a caron). I will change the spell if it sounds Chinese to some people. (Additionally, I found I mistakenly assigned Nai-ma-chen and Töregene as male names. I will fix this too.)

it is already 1.2.12 pls update thank you

Turkish language pls

I saw a "Nai-ma-chen" as a Khuzait noble name, and I guess this one is probably what taylanylcn was talking about. This name should be a result of translating Mongolian (the surname of Töregene Khatun, indicating she is from Naiman tribe) into Chinese (乃马真) and then into English. A more appropriate spelling could be "Naimajin".

@ColdStream Yes. I prapared Chinese text only for names belonging to Huaxia culture that the mod Huaxia Kingdom added. Huaxia is a culture inspired by Medieval China. On the orher hand, I assume Chinese and Japanese need to transcribe European names into their respective letters but I don't familiar with Chinese. So I said "partial."

I just noticed that "This mod currently supports localization, including full Japanese and partial Chinese text" in the Nexus page, and I wonder if that "partial Chinese" means all for the modded Huaxia culture?
(yeah European languages don't really need translation for names)

Ty for this mod. don't care about these twitter rambos like gbr000 and taylanylcn. These both watch rings of power together.

@taylanylc What did you mean? I haven't added Chinese names to the Khuzait names.

@endospore64 No, it's still "Blah blah clan" but "Blahblah" will be picked from this name lists. I'm also dissatisfied rebel clan name but it's somewhat difficult to fix

1.2.9 ???

Using Chinese names for a Turko-Mongolic faction is crazy bro 💀💀

Does this affect rebel clan names as well? So, instead of Bob's clan it'd be like Khergit or something

@gbr000 what a fine example of human stupidity

@gbr000 Are you dumb?

Yeah. I said "See the detail":

"Although Calradia is a fictional continent, each culture looks based on real-life history. So my goal is to make a balance between lore-friendly and historical reality."

We don't know the "true" history of Calradia.

In addition:

"I also added some fictional names, but they are mainly from historical fictions. So I think they don't spoil the lore-friendly."

Do you find some names from Greek mythology? Clan names from the Warband era?

I don't know why he goes mad and his point of critique. I'm not a professor of linguistics or history, and the complete list of historical names is not a final goal, but at least, I have checked the sites if (real-life) their author cited historical sources, or if the content is not AI-generated or the other garbage pages. Would you mind teaching me where the truly credible complete name list supporting your claim is found in the National Library? The Domesday Book in King Derthert's period is also welcomed.

I don't care whether the names are historically correct or not. The game is not historical. I like the mod. It offers a lot of variety. Thanks!

@gbr000 🤓

gbr who cares? he took the time to make you something for free. ffs ppl suck

This is ridiculous, are you claming you found 7000 historical names from a website, those are not even historical they are imaginary ones. Not even old ancient English books came with so many names, you may find 600 musicians names, and none in your list.

@Mr Sir Doe and gbr000
Yes. I found and explored some useful websites and picked thousands of names, considering their historical and cultural context. These sites are credited at the Nexus that is linked above.

@gbr probably copied a list of them from a website

Where did you grab 7,000 historical names? That seems impossible unless you own The National Library

I don't test, but maybe it works.

Compatible with 1.1.5?

gonna keep an eye on this

I see. You may not use the latest version (now v1.2.7)? I received the same report from Nexus. Anyway, I updated and fixed it right now

Hey Vova, I didnt specify what the problem was so im sorry.

Since the file Darshi-ee.xstl'' is empty the game makes errors telling me that the file is missing items.

Thats what I meant, sorry for not giving enough info

Noted. But now darshi-ee is blank and it doesn't cause errors. I will fix it by the next update.

You need to fix the Darsi-ee.xstl

the normal one '' darshi.xstl'' has stuff in note book but the ''ee'' version dont have it
