Big Difference in Names.txt/Ethnicities.txt vs. Game World
In Game World on 14, there are 39 language/name origin choices available, while in the Ethnicities.txt there are 40. The missing one: Ethnicities has French Canadian (lid=33), which is not a choice in Game World (because it is completely missing from World_Default). I assume that when you select French Canadian in Game World, it attaches to the French (lid=8) names and ethnicities.
This is actually not a small deal. In Quebec, it's rather common for there to be people not with only French first and last names, but with English first/French last names, and French first/English last names. This is actually pretty well addressed in names text files, and it looks as though there was a good deal of effort getting it right, yet it's going completely unused in this game. If you're doing a North American or, worse yet, a Canadian league, this is is going to be grossly misrepresented to distraction.
Has this come up before? Does anyone know whether there a fix for it, beyond a manual change of the txt files feeding the game by moving these names to an ethnicity you might not be using, such as Azerbaijan?
