The namegenerator in Elemental WoM is rubbish, so here's a new one.
It applies to new cities, worlds and AI units and monsters and offspring from the dynasty system.
I converted a word list from Dwarf Fortress, unfortunately there is a lot of hardcoded stuff in the namegenerator in E:WoM but this is the best I could do.
There are roughly 4000 logical words (in various tenses) and 8000 non-sensical words. Sometimes you'll get rubbish combinations, like 'Gig-g' or 'Muffindeath'.
Sometimes you'll get good names like Patternviolence or Battlebulwark.

Installation
------------
This is a core mod, and that means you have to place the file in your installation folder.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock Games\Elemental\data\English\ or something similar.
You have to overwrite the old WorldNameRuleset.xml. When you start Elemental after installing this mod (or any core mod), Elemental will parse all XML files and this will take 1-2 minutes. This is normal.
I have also included a zip within the zip containing the vanilla file, if you wish to uninstall. You can also shift-rightclick Elemental in Impulse and choose Verify Installation, and then "update" elemental to restore core files to standard.
Note: Core mods do not work with beta patches by default. To get them to work, add "/localdataonly" to your Elemental shortcut.
