Pulling the names of the stuff from the game isnt very hard. I can do that. Its not databased in any way with facts about what they do but then thats not likely to be in any database that the Devs have anyway. Not in a format we can use.

If you want I can send you the file of the program. It has all the text such as site names, item names, descriptions of nations, the text of random events, everything. Its not compiled so you dot have to decompile the program to get it, just read it out.

Please don't offer other peoples services. If you are willing to do it great, it would be an invaluable resource for mod makers, if not don't tell the devs someone else will do it because we don't know that.
I didnt do that any more than you did. I said that Id like to see it happen. I suspect that it amounts to the same thing except that Im hoping the players will do it and your hoping that the devs will. Either way is fine.

I agree, they are. They are just not complete.
Thats why they make a good starting place for anyone to work off of.
