===Onomastics===
We are a form of name generation manipulation in this next update. At first, there was not a lot out there about it but there have been various clues hinting at it being a possibility. Starting with the coin with the roman numeral of 1 which was shown in the 6th Steam Post related to languages with no context/caption given. There was later a reddit post discussion in which Maxim replied to u/MattC041 theory on what it was for: https://www.reddit.com/r/Worldbox/comments/1h4bso3/comment/lzxpafg/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

More recently, on the 27th of December an image from [[Developers and Contributors|Nikon]] was [https://imgur.com/a/EZDHQ3T reposted on twitter]  by Maxim, it included various names that were in some way related to "don Nikon". Some names include titles from different languages (e.g. Herr and Frau are Mr. and Mrs. in German; Don and Dona are Mr. and Mrs. in Spanish). It also seems that the female-gendered names are lighter in color and the male-gendered males are darker in color. When attempting to translate the various names they are recognized as words in various languages (Basque, German, Hawaiian, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Mizo, Norwegian, Polish, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Turkish, Waray).

There is now more info and confirmation of onomastics with an image and quote from this [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1206560/view/509574242369537672 steam post]:<br>"With so many new species, we needed a lot of name generators. So, we made a game out of it! Cultures now have a new tab called "Onomastics", which controls naming templates for units, families (last names), clans, and cities. It might look a little scary at first, but don’t worry — it should all make sense (we hope) as you play around with it during beta!"<gallery>
