    Default Authentic Faction Names & Character Titles

    This mini mod changes the faction names and character titles to make them a bit more historically accurate, by using the authentic and old names and titles that were used back then.
    For example, modern German titles have been replaced with Middle High German (MHG), which was spoken at the time. So far only English, German and Byzantine names and titles are affected.

    Compatible with the "Selecting the heir" mini mod.
    Any suggestions/help about other factions are greatly appreciated

    Here are some examples:
    Kaiser (Modern German) = Keiser (MHG)
    König (Modern German) = Künec (MHG)
    Reich (Modern German) = Rich (MHG)

    Byzantine Empire = Empire of the Romans/Basileía (Politeía) tōn Rhōmaíōn
    Holy Roman Empire = The Roman Empire/Imperium Romanum
    Byzantine Emperor = Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans
    Holy Roman Emperor = Emperor of the Romans

    Do remember that I may be wrong on some of these titles/names, so any feedback is appreciated.
    I only edited a few names and titles in the text files, all other credit goes to the SS and SSHIP creators.

    Installation:
    Pick the version that you want and place all the .txt files from your chosen version in your \Medieval II Total War\mods\SSHIP or SS 6.3\data\text

    It should be, it was for me. But to be on the safe side, create a backup of your old file. Oh, and leave some feedback if you have the time.

    Should be save game compatible, yes.

    By the way:
    Would be nice you could send a defining picture of your mod together with a one-sentence description via PM so I can update the "Additional Options" Post with it, together with a link to your mod.

    Gonna update this soon, got a few things to fix. I guess it's time for some improvements considering it's been a year since my last update.

    1. Save the following files from your text folder (just in case ):
    - campaign_descriptions.txt.strings.bin
    - diplomacy.txt.strings.bin
    - expanded.txt.strings.bin
    - historic_events.txt.strings.bin

    2. Delete these files from your text folder.

    3. Start the game.

    The game should rebuild these files from the relevant .txt files, taking into account the changes made by Eldgrimr.
