This allows users to choose whether they want to continue loading a save even with different mods. [h3]Refactored Name Lists for better modding control[/h3] Name lists have been disconnected from factions. These can then be linked up to factions, allowing more flexibility on name lists and also better integration with improvements to other areas of the game (e.g. cultures and faction increases). ● Name lists are separate from factions (but temporarily assigned per-faction) ○ This is a future-proofing measure against future character changes to give better modding control ● Added the ability to inherit one name list into another to cut down on duplicates (saving ~2000 lines in the name list file) ● Improved logging for invalid names by virtue of the new and more logical/flexible layout ● Tied using the settlement name as surname to a bool so modders can use it for other character types ● Fixed rebel Merchants all being Roman by correctly setting against their original faction ● Added global indexes for names rather than name list-dependent ones (which could cause issues when moving characters between factions) ● Removed hardcode for female characters not to use surnames Logging Features ● Added new logging mode launch options: ○ Added functionality to log per-settlement religious conversion information ○ Added functionality to hide the entire model mismatch log messages behind the report_model_mismatches command line option ○ Moved verbose skeleton & animation pack logs behind the new verbose_skeletons command line option ● Improved error logging for invalid names ● Increased information for descr_strat file loading ● Logged the TrueSky sequence file being loaded along with the Battle Map parameters to help debug lighting issues in 3D battle maps ● Miscellaneous formating & minor information improvements Scripting Features ○ Added go_to_char command to facilitate the Campaign Map camera centering on specific characters ○ Added scripting commands to alter a region's religious profile ○ Removed unit limits from the create_unit command ○ Added destroy_unit and swap_unit commands to scripting and RomeShell ■ swap_unit is similar to destroy_unit, but takes in a second unit ID when called;

the game will pull the character/settlement/faction from the current script scope (assuming one exists) ■ This allows the provoke rebellion script command to take "local" as an argument to get the settlement that's supposed to revolt from context ■ The exceptions to this are: ● create_unit, which could either refer to the local settlement or local character; use local_settlement and local_character instead ● The change_character_faction command uses local_faction for better clarity in scripting ● The add_income and add_expenditure commands both support local_settlement and local_faction ■ This feature can cause instability, and should be used with care ○ Added store_counter and retrieve_counter commands for adding and extracting counters from local scope ○ Added support for custom, settlement-specific or faction-wide income/expenditure via RomeShell/scripts, which can then displayed in the UI ○ Added functionality to set Senate Standing directly from script ○ Added functionality for set_counter to use another counter instead of a constant value, and added a counter_operation command ○ Added scripting conditions for checking diplomatic status between two factions ■ IsAlly ■ IsProtectorate ■ IsProtector ■ IsSameSuperfaction ○ Added functionality allowing I_CompareCounter to compare two counters, instead of just one counter against one constant ○ Added a return command to facilitate returning a value from a second script ○ Added functionality allowing scripts to create custom news alerts for players with a Yes/No prompt and pass the result back into the script. ○ Additional Miscellaneous Improvements [h2]RomeShell Features[/h2] ○ Added support for pasting clipboard into RomeShell ○ Added functionality for displaying whether achievements are enabled or not (and if disabled, why) ○ Added the ability to middle mouse scroll when RomeShell is in focus ○ Added verify_building_units to facilitate checking for duplicate units in buildings ○ Added a number of previous scripting-only commands to RomeShell ■ Fixed issues with the faction command line option not working ○ The DocuDaemon file in preferences folder now lists all accepted commands for easy reference [h2] Fixed issues loading specific assets from mod folders[/h2] ● Added functionality allowing campaign trees to be loaded in from mods ● Added functionality allowing burn ground types to be loaded from mods ● Added functionality allowing Bridge models to be loaded from mods ● Fixed texture path exists logic for mods ● Item files are only regenerated when needed [h2]Crash Fixes[/h2] ○ Fixed the Cloned Characters crash-to-desktop from original Rome: Total War
