This is a replacement mod, not a patch. Please unsubscribe/uninstall any previous versions of More Nations Mod or Immersive Title before use.

You should be able to use this mod to replace either component mod in the middle of a saved campaign. Removing more country or immersive names will cause the game to issue a red warning before loading; you can ignore this and play it safe. If you are on Steam and want to get rid of the red message, use the Remove Missing Mods mod.

What are more countries and names?

It is a combination of mods that affect the generation of random characters, including soldiers, engineers, scientists, mission VIPs, and Vault personnel in Long War 2:

*More Nations Mod: Adds 166 nationalities and flags, most with their own custom lists.

*Immersive Names: Improved name generation for vanilla ethnic groups with larger rosters, accurate ethnic representation, and adjusted name frequencies.

These mods don't work very well. Therefore, with Astograph's permission, I combined them.

The original modes all try to adjust for the same country weighting, i.e. how often characters come from certain countries. Vanilla nations appear most often in this version, but you'll still see a bunch of characters from minor nations in every game.

*Technical Note: Some characters are created from global templates and some from regional templates. Global characters include soldiers created in the armory at the start of the game. However, each region has a list of countries associated with them in the game, and sometimes characters are generated specifically from a region. For example, mission VIPs for the North America East region will be from the base game in the United States or Canada.

The distinction is important because the country weights mentioned above only apply to GLOBALLY created characters. Region-created characters appear to be created from a simple set of countries, where each county has the same selection possibilities.

This issue raises a question for our mod design: Should we include all 166 countries in the REGIONAL country list, knowing that they are all equally likely to appear? There are too many people in tiny countries.

The current version adds a handful of larger more countries (such as Chile, Ethiopia, Malaysia) to the regional list, but the smallest more countries (Tuvalu, Andorra, Guinea-Bissau) can only appear in global figures. The result will be mostly characters from vanilla countries with more interesting names, a moderate number of characters from medium-sized non-vanilla countries, and a few more exotic nationalities in each game.
