Soldier names

Here's some Mexican names.  Obiously there will be some crossover to Spain, South America, Cuba, etc.

And now for the obscure:  Inuit names.  I always learn something new when I set out to do some little project like this.  I’ve included here the surname E7-121.  It is a legitimate Inuit surname; however, there is an interesting history behind the Inuit “number names.”  I’ve included it, not in a derogatory manner, but to perhaps create some interest and awareness.  Link:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit_languages#Disc_numbers_and_Project_Surname

not to be rude, but isn't this redundant, i thought names were being done by language no by country. To tell you the truth i think is rather absurd to create a list of "mexican names" unless you are listing aztec names then you should differentiate that.

just my perspective that is all

Well the original already had different "american" and "british" name lists.

Well I think what matters is the end result, people are not gonna notice "repeated names" between lists, as long as the generated name is coherent. And it is true that countries of the same language can have wildly different naming conventions, for example Portugal and Brazil. I leave it up to people's judgement, but I'm kinda wary of adding those 1000-name-lists that might drag down loading times.

Also if you think we have names up the yin yang you should look at XCOM Enemy Unknown, and they went to the trouble of making sure the generation was all statistically accurate too.

By the way, in vanilla ratio of males/females is 75/25. It's surprising noone noticed that it's too many girls spawned in OXC.

Pretty sure someone bitched about original ratio so it was left at 50:50 and that was the end of it.

Who? Didn't heard of that and I'm here pretty long time. It's freaking illogical! There is no army in the world where female militarization factor would be more than 33%. At least that should be unhardcoded.
Added: Not only unhardcoded, but also set whatever value you want from ingame. From 0 to 100

What about the amazons?

We could always ruleset it out if it becomes a thing so people can just mod the game to become a sausagefest. (Or so I can have my amazing girlpower fantasy alien-fighting team ^_^)

It's the myths. There was no real amazons.

Why bother rulsetting if you can just fix that ratio in option to whatever you want? From 0 to female (only males are spawned) to 100 to female (when no males are recruited). It should be value from options.

Putting something into the ruleset is how you make it optional if it's just a data change.

We use the advanced options for coding-based mods only because we want people to be able to disable them.

Ugh there are enough manly man mods out there.

It's not a mod, it's a chance to make game vanilla by returning original ratio.
