Character Names Project
{{mod4|mod=Character Names Project|image=No image.png|platform=Medieval II: Total War|era=Medieval|leader=[[finneys13]|release=V3.00}}
The Character Names Project's goal is to overhaul all of M2TW's character names lists so that they are as historically correct as possible. A secondary goal is to increase the number of names in each list, therefore creating a more diverse character (specifically family) tree in a M2TW campaign. This is being done to address the problem of vanilla M2TW having names lists which contained errors of all varieties, and the problem that they contained too few names. For more information, please visit our forum[1].
Much of this project's earlier work was done by deRougemont.
The most recent released version is 3.00.
