English (US) seems to just be English (UK) in the city creation screen. Thoughts?

@H3llb0und: Thanks for the answer. I'm still a bit new to coding and find it easier to view a source example, but I get the general idea and will look into it for my own mod.

@Finwickle The source code is not currently published but you can't really get around the TLS issues, you have to approach it like a Unity game, e.g. instead of using the .NET WebRequest, WebClient etc you use a UnityWebRequest and use a Coroutine setup on a MonoBehaviour.

Do you have your source code published somewhere? I couldn't find it on the GitHub repository linked above.

I'm especially interested how you got the mod to download from GitHub, as I'm getting TLS errors when trying that. Did you use .Net FW 4.x instead of .Net FW 3.5 maybe? If so, doesn't that give issues with the game, or other mods including Harmony?

One thing I noticed is that this mod requires you refresh the names list every time you open the game, even if it was left enabled. Just thought it was odd, though it's not a big deal at all.

Enabling this disabled the meters that show how much of each resource is on a map, on the screen where you select a map for a new game. The issue went away when I disabled this mod and tried again.

That will not be easy to have this... ofc ...berg, ...burg, ...weiler, ...hof, and so on are possible endings... but we have also names like Linsengericht that is absolutely unique :D

That list is useful, I also could do with common prefixes and suffixes, like in English you have "ham", "ton", "don", "shire", etc. That's how it creates realistic variation in the names. Essentially I end up taking a real list of names and extrapolating the common endings and start of words. So stuff like "New" or "Old", "West", "East" etc. And descriptors like "Hill", "Forest" or whatever German towns/cities tend to be named after.

DEpends on what you want to use.... all german city names are here.... https://www.deutsche-staedte.de/staedte.php?city=A but i think this would be oversized.... the list from wikipeadia is nice https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Gro%C3%9F-_und_Mittelst%C3%A4dte_in_Deutschland ... 701 city names....

@Chamëleon TBN I don't know German so if you would like to help me collect some samples to create German generation I can do that.

German would be nice. I use all the mods to Change names of Cims and Roads to German ones... But German City names would be very nice... Esp. for outside and Tourist traffic

Thanks for the feedback! I have updated the asset to include vastly more options and expanded functionality. Please check out the description for more.

Excellent mod, thank you

Simple but nice luxury to have mod. :)

Do you think this could be expanded one day to include the random city names that are chosen as the origin of out-of-city vehicles? I'd like to know more of the world outside than the tenth cargo train heading to Las Vegas or Cannville for example!

Is it an .xml config file so we can create our own name list?
