Suggestion: Custom Currency Plurals

[Naqil]

Currently, you pick a name for your currency and it automatically decides the pluralization of that name for you by slapping an ‘s’ on the end of it. This has always bothered me, because I like to make up or steal different languages for my nations and not all of them use -s as a pluralization suffix. Naqil’s conlang uses -l or -el, my puppet Essu Beti’s is varied but the currency name itself as a plural noun, etc.

Therefore I think we should have a separate field in the Settings Page for our currency’s plural form. Our demonym has customizeable plurals, so it should be possible for the currency as well.

It doesn't simply slap an -s on the end; e.g. the plural of "yen" is yen; "real" is "reais", "denarius" is "denarii", and so on. But if you're using an obscure real-life currency, our parser may need to be taught about it.

I’m using custom non-real life currency.

According to this, the tala, and in turn the Minoan tala, does not have a plural by default (e.g. 1 tala, 2 tala, 5 tala) for the English language.

Added "tala," thanks!

Can we please add an option for custom pluralization, for those of us who use non-RL currency for our nations?

Maaaaybe.

You can always put it in your factbooks. Or (if you think it's really important) in your forum sig. Not that I don't think it's a good idea (I think it's a brilliant one), just that these things aren't very likely to get implemented.

I wouldn't be against it by any means, but I feel there are more important things to address. Still a good idea, as I have a conlang for my nation that has different plurals than English. I'm sure many others do as well.

Nearly all nations stick with a real-world currency such as the dollar and the pound so this feature would probably be used for less than 1% of nations.

Do you have a single fact to back that up

Anyone curious about the breakdown can take a look at New Texas' NSStatistics: http://nsdossier.texasregion.net//statistics.aspx

Sorry to revive an old post, but I second that notion for custom plurals. I'm using an irl currency called the nomisma (Grc. νόμισμα, the currency of 1st millennium Byzantium), with the plural nomismata, except that the system always puts down nomismas which is wrong.

The reason for not adding custom plurals for animals and currencies is that a database with all of the plurals requires less work than everyone having to enter a new field every time. At any rate, ask the mods and they will add your currency.

My newest puppets, the rival nations of North Annam and South Annam, are based on North Vietnam and South Vietnam. As such, their currency is the 'dong'. In this context, the plural of 'dong' should also be 'dong' but so far the game is making it 'dongs' instead... Any chance of getting that fixed?
