@il-Khan of Persia: yeah that makes sense happy to go with that plan. I'll likely be pausing mod support for this version of the game too. Ping me on Discord if you have any questions about integrations, or want me to pitch in any effort. (I'm on the main modding servers)

Pretty funny that they put Shechem in the wrong side of the Jordan.

@IfThenOrElse
That's a great offer, thank you! As long as they both work well together, I'm probably going to stop working on TWP mods once TWPD comes out since I'll have to make versions of these mods for that, and frankly that's what everyone's going to play over this game.
If you want, we can combine our mods in TWPD with you, Benjin, and I as the authors of said mod.

Hey, if you're interested, you're more than welcome to absorb some of the historical name issues I resolved in this mod: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3049311447

happy for everything to go into one defacto mod.

Check out the mod comments too, a user recommended some other more appropriate names for some regions that I have just not had time to implement.

Cool, especially that you worked together to achieve an even better result in one mod.... That' what modding is supposed to look like <3

@Cybermat47
Fixed. I checked every other faction name and besides Magiddu, both Moab and Dimašq had that same problem with the attack/defend [city] name being vanilla. They've been fixed too.

Just a heads-up, I'm getting 'You are attacking Megiddo' instead of 'You are attacking Magiddu' when I engage in combat with Magiddu.

Updated and should work 100% with the faction unlocker mod now along with whatever other mods may have caused issues before.

FINALLY

Was needing a mod like this

Nice historically accurate mod. Thank you.

Most def, life was local. Identity where mostly not ethnic, religious but local first. Organization is different, outside Egypt, personal oaths where very important, the Hittite Great King had to renew treaties when he came to the trone. Meaning the structure of the Empire could change. Bc the vassal relationship was voided and with the previous guy. This could lead to regional wars and revolts, where Kizzuwatna or whoever goes against Hatti. Etc etc.
Life was also personal, alot of the daily conversation would have been that Ramesses won the battle of Kadesh, Memnons wife caused the war etc. Even though bigger things below actually caused them.
In the empires that had lasted longer, like Egypt, there where a sense of Egyptianess. etc.

Just mean, since things worked different back then there isn't really a neat solution who fit.

Also it just occured to me to mention that kingdoms this early in history would likely have been much less centralised so it's not entirely off. Like how kingdoms work in the Mount and Blade games where the king is governor of the capital.

@Kendji there is no way for us to currently implement that in-game. If we're able in the future to add the piece of content mentioned at the bottom of the description, then I could see both Merneptah and Suppiluliuma starting out not with their personal faction name but with the name as ruler of their respective realms. Only if they loose it in a civil war would they have their regular faction name. But that's IF we can get mechanic working, which isn't guaranteed. Until then, how those two factions are now is the best we can do.

Technically Suppiluliuma wasn't a ruler of a mere city state, but the ruler of Hatti. Same with Merneptah, he was the Pharaoh of Egypt/Kemet, not just the Nomarch of Mennefer. Just saying. :)

Abdju (Abydos)'s leader could be Siese

first in-game Vizier is Ra-ked's leader, could name Raked's as the historical vizier Merysekhmet
