Commander Names

Write your own lists of commander names, so your Dwarf Captains go by Gimli and Balin.

A name list is newnametype, followed by its addname commands, then end. Give it to a monster with the game's nametype "<list>", and the game names its commanders from the list at random. The list must exist before that line, in this mod or an earlier one. Put that nametype line in the .c5se or on a #!@ line: the game alone can't read a list's name.

More in the game's manual

nametype and the game's other monster commands are in Illwinter's official modding manual, under "Monster Modding".
