What are your thoughts on the following renames?

The Qajars -> Iran (For the same reason as Meiji Japan, until we get another modern Persia the distinction is meaningless)
Mongolia -> The Mongols (Mongolia is the name of the modern nation state rather than the empire the game is representing)
The Abbasids -> Abbasid Caliphate (having too many 'The Xs' makes plural culture grouping look like the default naming scheme)
The Normans -> Normandy
The Inca -> Tawantinsuyu (Their own name for their empire, Inca were just the ruling elite the Spanish used as the name entire)
The Achaemenids -> Achaemenid Empire

I notepaded the shit out of that. Finally got to change "Normans" to "Normandy."

That's right, you can open then with any text editor, even notepad.

Thanks! Alternatively, can I edit that file to change the nation names without any special tools or programs? I haven't tried to tweak Civ V!! mod files yet, I know a lot of them in VI were easily editable in regard to text and certain values.

You can get only the leader name changes if you go into the mod files and delete the CivNames.sql file. It is located in the 'steamapps > workshop > content > 1295660 > 3579792167 > Texts' folder

Can you release a separate one that is only the leader names and persona titles?

thank you very much for this!!
