mlieThe Tribal Pawn Names Mod overhauls the naming style used for tribal pawns, factions, settlements, and pets. It replaces the vanilla tribal naming approach with names inspired by Native American-style naming lists, while also adding more varied tribal nicknames and faction names.
Tribal Pawn Names Mod Features
The Tribal Pawn Names Mod changes how tribal pawns and tribal factions are named in RimWorld.
The original author noted that vanilla tribal names felt a bit “off” to them, probably due to unfamiliarity with the cultures the names were drawn from. A later note from user Ric clarifies that the vanilla tribal names are based on Galician names from Roman times, and that Tynan confirmed this when asked about them.
The Tribal Pawn Names Mod makes the following changes:
- Tribal pawn names: Tribal pawn names are now Native American in style. The names were drawn from online “Native American baby names” lists, which the author notes may mix names from different nations and include inauthentic names.
- Tribal nicknames: Tribal pawn nicknames can include adjectives, terrain features, weapons, and similar terms, such as Vengeful Weasel or Deadly Scythe.
- Family names: The game no longer forces related tribal pawns to share last names, since tribal names do not follow a “personal name followed by family name” pattern.
- Faction and settlement names: Tribal factions and settlements now use names consistent with the style of individual tribal pawn names.
- Tribal pets: Pets in tribal factions are given tribal-style names instead of colonist-style names.
