Australian/NZ name sets

Sizeman21 · 08-13-2018, 02:36 PM

So every time I try a new save, the Australian and New Zealand name sets only have 5 or so different names and it really annoys me.

Anyways to change this?

There's a bug that prevents names from duplicating onto multiple namesets which has existed since OOTP18. I mainly notice this on templates, but if it's showing up away from them, that's important news to post in the bugs forum. That said, and I don't mean to throw the devs under the bus for saying this, I've tried twice to bring it up in that forum (this year and last year), and have heard nothing from them.
I still hope it can get fixed, but I don't feel comfortable with posting that bug report there anymore. I'm just relieved someone else has noticed this too.

I've partially got around this by editing nations to add some other language groups. This is my dynasty league in OOTP16 though, so not sure if the bug siobhan mentions would stop this from working.

Below is how I've set up Australia:

I just read your posts in the bugs forum. I was completely unaware of this problem, but it's significant and it should be fixed. Thanks for highlighting it and bringing it to the developers' attention.

No problem, Joe. I'm hoping it gets more attention now that it's brought up here.

This is all I needed to do. I hadn't even thought of this even though I knew that was a option. Thanks!
