Purpose of symbol options in entities
« on: December 27, 2012, 12:20:34 pm »
Hello,

  there are one thing that I don't understand in entities creations, the symbol options. I know that you can use languaje_SYM symbols, but what is their purpose?

The symbol options are filters that determine which words the entity will prefer (Or not use outright) when naming things in world generation, from towns and roads to the names of individual citizens. As a result, goblins will tend to use evil words, elves flowery, etc.
