Editing Names.txt?

Kemp · 08-14-2006, 09:56 AM

I know that when you load a game, the nations and cities information is loaded with it. That is, even editing those files won't change the game will use the LOADED info.

But does anyone know if you can edit the names.txt file? That is, if I make edits will the game use the newest version of that file every for future amateur drafts?

The reason I ask is, these special characters are a real pain. They don't even show correctly on the report generated from the game!

The game only uses name files (names, first_names, and nicknames) upon creation of a new universe.
