Is there a way to just change how money appears in the game, like rename gold and silver, or am i going to have to change all the refernces? I wnat to have aurei, denarii, and sestertii, but I don't want them THAT much. heh. ;)

Be prepared to change every ref in the code if you intend to do this. Be prepared for it to be a *very* ugly process if you do this.
*sigh* thats what I thought.
Changing the references of currency shouldn't be that hard really if u use borland c++, just find and replace the word Gold, and find/replace the word silver etc.. etc.. to whatever u want it to be. just an idea.
Any text editor can do that, and it should be that simple if all you're doing is changing the names. But if you're doing something more involved like actually creating more divisions of currency, then yes, it will be more... "interesting" as they say. :)
Kind of reminds me of how bad it was just to rename SWR's "credits" to dollars. It was quite the process to track down all instances, although you would have it much harder then that I suppose since you have more forms of currency.
Add to that the fact DoT only has 2 forms of curency in its natural form and it gets to be quite ugly indeed.
