About this mod

Changes nationalities into Magic the Gathering Colors (or Color pairs) and generates names from mtg lore matching those colors. Also changes mission names.

Created for long war beta 15

Permissions and credits
Ever wanted to see how Sorin Markov would deal with aliens?
Or are you in need of an excuse to pick that perk you never seem to get?

MtgMod might be the mod for you!

Add some more personality to your soldiers by giving them a color identity and a color-correct name from Mtg Lore!

(b15 added a lot of nationalities and flags, and the b15 version may contain some bugs)

MTGmod:
- Replaces all standard Flags with Magic the Gathering Color flags (5 mono colored ones + 10 two-colored ones)
- Any new soldiers created will be assigned names appropriate for their color(s).
- Missions are named after influential/well known Magic Spells.

Requirements: 
- Long war beta 15 (the b14 flags will also work with vanilla Xcom)
- Texmod: To get the new Color Flags into the game texmod is needed.

Instalation:
Load the package file ("MtgMod.tpf") into the game with texmod.
Replace "DefaultNameList.ini" in "\Steam\steamapps\common\XCom-Enemy-Unknown\XEW\XComGame\Config" with the one from the mod.
Replace "DefaultGameCore.ini" in "\Steam\steamapps\common\XCom-Enemy-Unknown\XEW\XComGame\Config" with the one from the mod.
Replace "XComStrategyGame.int" in "\Steam\steamapps\common\XCom-Enemy-Unknown\XEW\XComGame\Localization\INT" with the one from the mod.

More details in the readme.

Texmod tutorial in readme, will post a link here later.

v0.9 notes:
First released version, everything works as intended.
However, the namelist is not perfect yet, some names might be too long/ not appropriate enough
and some color-combinations have a slightly low name-count.

v0.91 notes:
missions are now named after MTG cards.
Slight changes in the namelist
(added a bunch of minor character names from Ravnica and RtR lore and flavor texts)
Fixed:
Comments in the name file removed
Changed mission naming scheme to hopefully fit the whole mission names.

B15 notes:
Updated for long war beta 15.
Added some names from FRF and DTK.
