Thanks for the information Gandalf. I'll add it to the wiki.

Somebody should test and determine what the different hex values are of each pretender title, we could then create a program that edits these values to get the titles you want.

The most epic one I've gotten to date is, playing Abysia, choosing Great Warlock: King of the Wastes, the Enemy of Man.

Now if that isn't thematically awesome, I don't know what is.

Again my most memorable would be the Chronicles games. Thats where it felt most important, and I put the most work into getting something I liked. The games werent about play any mismatching garbage as long as it lets you win. It was all about every player writing AARs with a load of RPG as the games progressed. (and btw the last game on this forum that I know of that managed to pull beta testers and the devs in)

Titles just seemed more important for an entirely AAR game. I was playing Pangaea (EA or MA, I dont remember which) and I didnt want to get stuck with "Eater of Children" or "God of Disease" or worse yet "Lord of Liars" in a totally RPG game. I was pitching that "Man in his many empirical forms is destroying the world. I call for all of the non-human races to join me in purging them from the lands". So I was trying for King of the Crossroads and The Man Eater with maybe The Hidden One (which fit my playing style).

This might be a good place to mention for new players that you CAN make up a completely new title and use it. The space for a name is fairly long so you can add a comma and one title. It shows up obviously in the pretenders list so it cant be used to fraud one of the titles to give the impression of magics or scales that you dont really have. But it can be fun.

Such as, instead of naming your god "Juan" you can name him "Juan, for there can only be Juan".

My favorite is "Friend of Birds and Parrots"

Some are just scary. # of all Young and Growing Things, # of Unexpected Pleasure and Sorrow.

Somehow this triggered a discussion on IRC about sex magic. And sex gems. And CBM nerfing sex.

Edit: I tried hexediting a pretender file and I discovered the location where the name is stored, and that there is probably some sort of hash involved. As I could change the name that was displayed in the load a pretender file, but the game crashes before start.

Knowing the dom3 community, I'm not the first to do this, did somebody else already try something like this?

Man the Species or Man the nation?

Forget what I said about hashes and hex locations. Titels are stored in some sort of plain text in the pretender file. But dom3 has some sort of pretender file check that I have not been able to crack. I can fool the select a pretender file screen by hacking in a new name, but then at the start of the game dom3.exe crashes. (with an error message, corrupt pretender file).

But I have been able to fool catgod, by replacing in the different titles.
