Sure fine by me Adan

I'm creating a modmod for Vox Populi overhaul called Alternative Component Names for VP. One part of this modmod is changing City Lists from modern to old ones from ruler's period. I had problem with Celts (Iceni), but I can see you created such list. May I use it?

also Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

I actually live in Cwmbran in wales ^_^

I'm glad someone did this. I wanted it just to remove the "Celtic" city of Londonderry :-(

can you still get the achievement for getting llanfair? or no - mods = no achievment?

eich bod yn croesawu @ors1927

syniad- gadw hen dinas enwau ond gyfieithu i mewn i cymraeg neu gaeilge

diolch yn fawr am gywir enwau

@Craig Boone not really, lol. I'm pretty sure Icelandic is a lot closer to English than it is to Welsh/Brythonic/Celtic. I get what you mean with the spelling but it's just what you get used to.
@gordonlucas this is a great mod but I think it would be nice to rename the civ to reflect your restriction to Brythonic Celts rather than the entire people (not that I am against said restriction, as a partial fanatic I think it's awesome!)

its like icelandic....hmm...something like "volcano rakkgghtydsdfv" or something like that

Thanks ewhalen - enjoy!

This is fantastic! I've wanted something like this for a while now. (Egypt with non-Ptolemaic names would be cool too.)

They all seem legitimate so I'm not doubtingn your effort, was just wondering.

Astronomicon, I am far from an expert but I did my best

I'm assuming 'more authentic' does include 'grammatically and linguistically correct'? Because they seem quite Gaelic, but as I don't speak the language and recognize at least one from Arthurian Legends...

Sounds awesome Ulixes, good luck with your mod!

I downloaded both your mods, you're right, those city names needed a correction and I mostly agree with your selection. I'm creating an huge overhaul mod and I'm going to include those names, obviously I will give you credit for the research.

I chose it because of my love of The Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell. Perhaps not the most historically accurate choice but there you have it!

Question: Why is Ynys Wydryn the capital? It doesn't seem to have been that important of a settlement. I think the capital should be either Venta Icenorum (the Roman town where Boudicca began her uprising), or Caerdydd (modern-day Cardiff, if we don't want to have such an obviously Roman name as the capital)

Love it! The utter lack of research they did for boudicca and the celts is just criminal.

Should just ensure to clarify that this is Welsh Celtic :) while Irish Celts and Scots Celts are quite similar, Welsh Celtic is quite different. Don't want people having the stereotype/misinformation that 2k / Sid Meier / The powers that be had

this is great, being a nationalist scot and urquhart-maclennan who still speaks gaelic its great to see some historical accuracy

Well done.
A suggestion for BNW: For the Polish civilization there are some cities (just among the first ones), which didn't belong to Poland at king Casimirs time. Would You be so kind to replace them with really Polish cities?

Well done. You should tell the Americans who made this game to research historical names better. Boudicca owned the East Country and had nothing to do wiht Edinburgh or Dublin (in fact they wernt even around then so its even more stupid).
Well done :)

Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Fav one

@gordonlucas - "in fact some of these are made up", for some reason I respect you for that

Wrescsam?
But then again, it is just a

@gordonlucas, ok cool makes sense. Though perhaps this should be named Brythonic city names instead as you miss out on Irish, Scottish, Manx, Brehon (Brittany - France), Gallician (Iberian Celts), Hallstatt (Swiss-German Celts), etc lol. None-the-less cool idea though :)

I really do like it! thnx mate

Thanks for the comments all! I'm glad you all like it. I may tackle the Iroquois next... other requests/suggestions welcome.

@devon_cartwright89 - I tried to stick with Briton names since Boudica is the leader and I thought it was more authentic if I could keep them to as common a dialect as I could.

@The Saxon - yes Dumnonia was a kingdom or region vs. a city, however it was an important area and I thought deserving of a name. It is difficult to come up with a long list of authentic Brythonic settlements so in fact some of these are made up.

This a wonderfully well thought out mod to the Celts my friend. You've done the Irish proud and satisfied the outraged Celtic ancestors that were probably offended by the Anglo-Saxon names Civ V put on their cities.

The more immersion the better!
For the future I would love to see other civs with their native names.

Isn't dumnonia a Tribe/clan rather than a city?

Cool, but you've shafted Irish cities from the list. What of Dun na nGall, Baile Atha Cliath, Cill Chainnigh, Beal Feireste, Luimneach, Corcaigh, Phort Lairge, Tara, or any other?

Hahaha... maybe I will try one day then

I don't really know any Iroquois names though :/

Miyafuji Yoshika ... we could create one. If you post some names we can try to create a list and I can upload the mod for you.

Is there a mod like this out for the Iroquois? Seeing English or French names after the first few cities just doesn't feel right at all.

XD

Thanks both!

am happy to see something like this, lot of effort has been put into the finding out some of the welsh names, llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch can be shortened to just llanfairpwll. :P it was made longer only recently because the village wanted to bring tourism in somehow. I've some other points about some of the counties you've used as cities, but, all in all I like it :)

Finally real names for the celtic city not the anglo saxon names for the cities
