The mod focuses exclusively on improving the historical accuracy and quality (in cases of grammatical errors) of the game's vanilla version.
The Creative Assembly's list of character names, due to lack of time, gameplay decisions, uncoordinated research and simple, human mistakes, presented a couple of inaccuracies, which may influence negatively our immersion with the game.
For example, having decided to make the Lagid Kingdom lool like the ancient, pharaohnic Egypt, all the Grecoegyptian characters (generals, daughters, spies and etc.) have only Egyptian names.
Another mistake is the existence of grammatical errors (e.g. Polydeuce, instead of Polydeuces) or the unnecessary repetition of names with incorrect, minor changes (e.g. Nicocles and Nicokles).
The mod changes all the aforementioned inaccuracies, except for the ones concerning factions like Carthage, Gaul, Spain, Britons, Germany, Dacia and Numidia, because, rather unfortunately, my lack of knowledge about those factions prevents me from doing so.
The female names are left alone, except for the case of Egypt, where Greek names like Euanthia are also provided for the wives, mothers and daughters. Moreover, as an extra addition, the parthian epithets have also been changed to more historical versions. |
