The engine chooses the correct language for each region based on in-game naming rules and active cultures. All supported languages ​​are included in this one MOD - no need to install multiple ones.

The English language is here fully reimagined: the entire world is renamed, just as English colonists discovered and named every inch of the land. Bordeaux becomes Waterside, Rome becomes Romeford, and Beijing becomes Kingscross. Latin is the historical dimension - the real Latin names of Rome, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Old Norse/Norn is a third reimagining: assuming the Vikings colonized every inch of the land - Constantinople became Miklagarðr, Moscow became Móskvuborg, York became Jórvík, and Jerusalem became Jórsalaheim. French/Francophone is the fourth reimagining: assuming that France colonized every inch of the land. Real historical French nicknames anchor everything - Pékin for Beijing, Moscow, London, Cairo, Tombouctou, Nouvelle-Orléans, Saint-Pétersbourg, Pondichéry, Saïgon, Tananarive - the rest are colonial French names (Saint-X, New-X, Port-X, Fort-X, Cape-X, Island-X, Mountain-X, Bay-X, River-X), ending in sense-formation rather than the universal -ville.

Pair Latin with the Latin cultural movement in Phoenix's Fate.

Requires setup. In the new game settings, set the location naming option to Owner's Dominant Culture or Location's Dominant Culture - not 'Standard English'. Then play a country whose main culture is one of the supported cultures, or any country whose region has those populations (under 'Location's Dominant Culture').

source

Each name is either documented in historical literature (ancient Roman authors, medieval chroniclers, Jesuit and Catholic missionaries, Mercator/Ortelius and Renaissance cartographers, Marco Polo, Cook and Rogge, East India Company atlases) or has been carefully reconstructed through toponymic patterns in the source language itself. No naive '-um' suffixes to foreign roots, no anachronistic modern names.

Compatibility: Addable mode only. No replace_paths, no conflict with any other MOD.
