I opted to have all AI names in a single XML file. You'll add AI companies. Then and for each name entry, limit the vehicle types and years they can be used on. This will require additional mod tools.
The AI does not make new generations or new trims. So this will be one problem with such system. It's likely to run out of names. So you'll probably also need a generic pool of names that the companies can also use. But reusing the names might be something I could investigate.

Quote:Another related option that this would make cooler, but might be nice by itself, is the ability for AI marques to carry forward names across generations (particularly if the new model targets the same market, and if the previous model did well). This would both make it easier to see the progression of AI vehicles, but also make successful AI models eventually stand out to the player.
