It can be done in many windows programs using the number keypad and the alt key. So alt-254 gives you a square; and alt-251 gives checkmark;

It can also be done using the CHAR tool in windows then cut-n-pasting but that doesnt seem to work in Dom3 also

Could the pretender files be modifed to have their name changed in a text editor?

If you have the right keyboard: AltGr and O, or AltGr and P.

I think it's a great idea to create a list of titles and what they (may) indicate. This is one of the very few ways to get intel on an enemy pretender before seeing them in battle, and I'm sure some fanatic fans have their lists and interpretations. Making a shared list public would be a way to balance this potential experience benefit back by giving everyone the same data.

If we have a list of all the possible titles, and we can guess at all the variables in how titles are selected, we can get a bunch of volunteers (or scripts?) to generate a lot of pretenders with pre-sets attributes, and see what we get. Some of the variables are pretty apparent: there are many titles which are tied to magic paths chosen, and the number of titles seems to be based on the dominion level. Are there titles based on scales, or are some only for very high levels of a magic path, or combinations of magic paths, or lack of magic paths? Probably some are available only for certain pretender forms, or nations. If we just generate lots of combinations of pretenders and put the data together, I'll bet many of the answers will show up pretty simply. Plus, then I will know how to avoid ever creating "the God with Backward Feet".


I always tend to include "titles" in the name of my pretenders also. I like it since it forces all the game, even messengers from other (lesser) pretenders, to acknowledge the divine nature of "Majestic Kera, Heir of Celestial Life", or whomever.
