RP sugestion - allow people to change nation name
simple change, we can already change flags and leader names, why not country names as well.
its just very annoying to capture all soviet union territory as volga nzhny, change flag to soviet union and still be called volga nzhny
i think it would improve the game in a few aspects:
- make people join games more wilingly and play as some unknown nations since they can change name and have aspirations to form a somewhat known nation
- makes the country feel more personal and helps people stay in the game
- add a tag or a small icon after the name so people know its a changed name
- write changed names in diferend color
- add a "(old country name)" text under the new name to distinguish nations

In theory I like this, but it's been brought up and subsequently been rejected enough times that it's obvious Bytro won't implement it.
To the extent that it has legitimate uses, the capacity for gross misuse outweighs them. I don't really want to fight against "Big's Chungus's Imperial & Royal neo-Confucian Narco-State" in a WW2 strategy game. Especially not if the capital is SuckMyBalls.
As much as I love roleplaying, if one is creative there is not a need for all the features. With imagination it's possible to pretend to be a country without the real name anyhow, e.g. Manchuria playing the Qing Dynasty, or even Paraguay as North Korea.
I think flags and titles of head of state are already quite enough.

you are right people are weird sometimes

A better alternative (in my opinion) would be to have different pre-existing names to change to when more countries have been taken by you, e.g. If you are West Texas, and then conquer East Texas, than you can rename your country just Texas.

This........ I agree with Zaktty

That's what I suggested a while back. It would give the players an opportunity to rename their nation without having to worry about the immature 12 year olds calling their nation "Big Ball empire" and the like.Zaktty wrote:

Agreed , it is the best solution for that rn. Maybe they can add a bot to check inappropriate names .Zaktty wrote:

I agree with mister they. Should something to make sure they don't put "Big changus reich

I mean i don't mind if they do change their names like that. They already can change their nation flags into memes and other horrible stuff. And let's not forget about coalitions names and flags.

I say they should instead introduce a feature where we can form historical nations just like in HOI4. E.g.- you have taken Portugal as Spain, the country's name would automatically change to Iberian Union, the flag would also change. This way, it will be more easier for the game developers to implement it and there won't be any goofy names.

I don't care about that myself. But there are minors playing. It's important to safeguard their interest.DoubleWideSurprise wrote:

I wouldn't trust such a filter. I've encountered swear bots a couple of times and they have a tendency to pick up on completely innocuous statements on grounds that were entirely opaque to me. And then there's standard-issue problems which are easier to understand but hard to eliminate [warning: links go to articles that extensively discuss profanity].The Mister Class wrote:

This sounds like the best solution all round to me; I'm in favour. Although honestly I'm also fine with the game as it is.Zaktty wrote:

maybe you can do something like hoi4 and make formable nations

Maybe... but that would take lots of coding and testing.Imperialist San arta wrote:

And - some nations would have a lot more possible formable nations and/or it would be easier for some countries to make a formable nation than others.
