I think it'll be OK if CoW includes an option to change a little your country's name.
For example if you are Canada and you conquer 20 provinces you can change your name to Canadian Empire.
Or maybe just change from the Republic of Mexico to the Kingdom or the Estate of Mexico, depending on your tipe of Governor.
This is just esthetic and I know there are very important problems to be solved, but just a thought.
(Hope see soon Spanish empire and not just Spain, jeje

Maybe there could just be a standard list of prefixes?
Something like:
"Empire of " <>
"Greater " <>
<> " Republic"
<> " Commonwealth"
etc.
It would also be cool if you could DROP adjectives; i.e. "Western Yakutia" becomes "Yakutia" once Eastern Yakutia is gone.
And maybe also if Goias conquers all Brazilian provinces he Could change the country's name to Brazil, but that's maybe more difficult.
Could be fun to have such an option from time to time, maybe whenever you are moving you capital or something and only from a list of prefixes, otherwise more reason for people to get banned etc.
I would really like to see this implemented in the game, as it would make for better roleplay capabilities. ---
Yeah I've wanted to do this for a while. It makes the game a little more Immersive almost and plus it could make it less awkward when "British Egypt" conquers all of Britain's Holdings in Africa.

Well, Britain can easily reintegrate Egypt, South Africa and the Arab peninsula into the Empire. That's an easy way to win. And @Lord Crayfish said, the war will never be decided with one/two new type of weapons. In my Japan historic game I got level 4 Kawasaki Ki-66 which even in pairs can send flame tanks to the depths of hell.
But the idea is nice, I personally want to rename the Soviet Union to Russia and Japan to Japanese Empire in historic maps. Also UK should become British Empire in Historic games.
Yeah exactly what I am talking about. When Communist/Nationalist China conquers the other China, there is no problem, but when New South Wales conquers all of Australia, then it doesn't change to Australia. My suggestion is to allow any name for the country, but block all insults and slangs.K.Rokossovski wrote:

This is going to be a big reply
Agreed. It's possible to completely reunite the British Empire, except for Australia and Canada, within two or three days. Those two dominions within a week.Nobodyx2 wrote:

There are many effective anti-flame tank strategies. Even Allied/Pan-Asian medium tanks will do nicely.
Why the Soviet Union to Russia? In a historic game, the historic name was always the USSR/Soviet Union/some variant, as it included other nations. Or do you mean the reverse?Nobodyx2 wrote:

Personally I disagree to the extent that it impedes historical accuracy.Nobodyx2 wrote:

Maybe have a list of reasonable changes, as the NSW->Australia you mentioned, but these should be "formable", such as reasonable evolutions based on starting area and subdivision of country, not e.g. renaming Korea Germany, or worse, the Prawn Kingdom.
Hah obviously Korea cannot Become Germany
As I said I think there should be strict limitationsNobodyx2 wrote:

E.g. Volga Nzhny
[prefix] [name] [suffix?]
{Republic, Empire &c.}...............Volga Nzhny
{Ideology; Nationalist &c.}...........Volga Nzhny
{Cardinal Direction; Southern &c.}.Volga Nzhny
{Modifier; Outer, British &c.}........Volga Nzhny
Have tree of available names formable through capturing other countries in a region. It is already possible to sort by region.
e.g. Volga Nzhny was historically part of the Soviet Union ts. 1932/4-1960 representing the maximum extents of intended gameplay
So e.g.
Volga Nzhny -> Soviet Union
or Queensland -> Australia
or British Odisha -> India
New England -> USA/United States
This is purely theoretical and I don't really want to see it implemented. At best, have "droppable" modifiers North, South &c. and formable large countries of USA, Soviet Union, India, etc.
Countries already have canonical ideological names, esp. Nationalist & Communist China.
In Historic World War I see little purpose
How do you get it? For example, do you need to capture every city or even rural province including Alaska and Hawaii for the US? What about the USSR? Is it just capitals of every player country, ect. What about places like Kazakhstan without any easy formable country? Same with Mongolia. For Spain, can you just form Iberia with Portugal? Or instead can you form any of these as long as no one else has and you have a certain amount of cities? Would any of this apply to maps like HWW?

As a baseline, a certain number of provinces or VPs (at least 90%) within a defined region (see the sorted province lists; a refined form of this might help). I don't think it need apply to every country but it could in theory.
I think this would be most useful in the W@W maps. Frankly I see little purpose at all. I don't think it's really necessary but it might be fun.
Fair enough, but Freezy said stuff like this is not a priority, though would be nice.
It might be, but it's not a problem and might cause confusion. Of course bugtesting etc. should come first.Carking the 6th wrote:
