The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Description
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Even in the grand campaign, names usually repeat themselves. In the Age of Charlemagne, the situation is really catastrophic: the name rosters are very small.

To improve that, this mod adds nicknames into the game.

They aren't attached to definite names: there are random combinations of personal names and sobriquets.

- I've tried to choose nicknames so that they wouldn't intersect with personal traits. So, there is no "good', "bad", and "ugly", in fact :(
- in the grand campaign, the nicknames are added to all factions except the Roman ones.
- in the AoC, the nicknames are added to all factions except the Byzantine one.
- almost 200 non-Muslim male nicknames (each faction has set of 113) and 60 non-Muslim female nicknames.
- almost 800 (well, yep!) Muslim male nicknames and 33 Muslim female nicknames.
- the Muslim nicknames are taken from there[www.s-gabriel.org]. I've simplified the transliteration though.
- there is still a little possibility of characters without nicknames.

- Save game compatible
- Compatible with every mod that doesn't change name tables.
- Compatible with Avetis's Armenia: Between Two Worlds.
- NICKNAMES ARE ADDED ONLY TO NEW CHARACTERS! It means, the characters you have on the start of campaign or in your current save won't get a nickname. But new children and candidates will get it.
- I'm not a native English speaker. If a nickname isn't appropriate by any reason, let me know.

Thank you so much for this! It not only fixes my problem of duplicate characters but it adds a nice amount of flavor as well. Great job!

@Hwithyll, thank you!
If you're able to adjust this mod to AE by yourself, feel free to publish it, you've got my blessing ;)
As for the nicknames, I see a couple of problems. First, Iranians and Armenians use a lot "from city-name" nicknames. I picked city names according to the Sassanian era, so they can be a little bit anachronic in AE. Also, the desert factions nicknames, they have kinda emphasis on the religious sphere, it's also can be unsuitable sometimes (however, I didn't use any names of specific gods, so there will be no horrible misfit).
If you need any kind of technical consulting, feel free to write me PM.

@true.tryggvi, Yes it does have different culture groups. I was hoping to be able to switch over culture groups from your mod into AE. I will try to sort it when I have time and report back. this mod is awesome BTW, congrats for making such a much-needed mod. The names are really good and I have not seen any weird names that do not fit. In my campaign now I have a family tree of 6 adult males and 4 of them have the exact same name. It sucks!

@Hwithyll, I don't know for sure, but I think it's incompatible with the AE, as it has an entirely different setting and (probably) different culture groups.

Hi. I am having trouble getting this to work with ancient empires mod. Is there a specific load order or is it possible to use pack manager and winmerge to fix this?

dchern, в сборке Аорса она есть Ссылка . По-моему, она даже актуальнее, чем то, что я на Импе в своё время выкладывал. Ну и в локализации ТтК локализация для этого мода тоже содержится.

А в СТИМ русскую версию?
