Default Random Names

Is it possible to update the list of random names for provinces and commanders? If so, could someone tell me how?

Nope its impossible.

Well actually you can run a program to randomly name the provinces in the .map file but then they are the same everytime you play it (unless you run the program again)

You can randomly assign the names of commanders that exist at the beginning of the game (the same way but doing it in the .map file) but it wony affect those that come later in the game.

So, like anything else involving a computer, nothing is impossible. Some things are just alot more trouble than they are worth.

As far as your own commanders go you *could* turn renaming on and randomly pick one name out of a list to rename your commander to as you build each one.
