Add a new section to the Appendix called “Synonyms”
A dynasty may provide extra theming by using alternative terms for words like “AI” and “Facility Head”.
Each term in this list is synonymous with the term in parentheses
* AI (Player)
* Facility Head (Emperor)When a new Dynasty is started, the Ascension Address may specify new terms for each entry in the above list, provided the newly chosen term does not appear anywhere in the ruleset outside of this rule (though if it only appears in rules which are being removed as part of the Ascension Address, it is fine), and that doing so would not cause two terms in the above list to become synonymous with each other. Doing so causes the old corresponding value (including regional spelling variations) to be replaced by the new value everywhere in the ruleset except in any of the parenthesis in the above list.
In “Victory and ascension” replace
and it may optionally specify that dynasty-specific terms for “AI” and “Facility Head” will be used in the Ruleset,
with
and it may optionally specify new dynasty-specific terms as outline in the rule “Synonyms”
If it appears there, remove the line “The terms “AI” and “Player” are synonyms.” from “Spelling”
Yes this means we can’t have dynasties where Players are Emperors any more, but I think that is probably an okay thing?
Also lays the groundwork where if we wanted to rename other terms like “Idle” or “Favor” we could
Zack: he/him
I do like that this gives the potential to add other terms, not that I see that being used in the immediate future.
