Realistic Empire Names - [Mod Release - Steam workshop/GOG]

Post by LordMM »

I was really upset with the rather unimaginative, forgetful Empire names formed within DW2. The problem is the names are so common among so many Empires, you cannot really tell them apart from the names.

Personally, the name of the Empire should along describe the character an the type of Space Civilization you are dealing with.

I feel these minor changes are extremely important to the feel of the games & devs seem to underestimate the Impact this has, In my personal opinion. I.e

Since Empire names are based on planet names. I will release that mod soon when I have the time.

Sorry, just had to answer, in order to update this damn forum program (because otherwise the thread is always marked as "unread", independent of how often I read the posts. :roll:

Just keep on the good work. ;)
