    Its too messed up to see ancient Greek to me. My native is in Cyrillic, so I have it easier than others. Still, better use latinized!

    I'd prefer the original script. I did a bit of modern Greek at uni so I could make out some of it, perhaps.

    I can't vote, but I'd choose the first option. It's only faction names not the whole ui, but it would add a bit of Hellenic flavor to Hellenic factions.

    I voted for the second option, since the game is situated in a world as viewed by the Romans, but the Greek alongside the latinized version (in brackets) might be ideal.

    Stratigos, this is great idea.

    I just want to note, that the Ancient Greek writing have not small letters or tons upper the letters

    in your example Athens - Αθήναι -
    The real Ancient Greek is ΑΘΗΝΑΙ (not with small or letters)

    Think about this what you will do,
    if you will write the original ancient greek,
    or the archaizousa language of Greeks, whom is writing i think from 16-17th century and after.

    I'd prefer Latinized version for easier understanding, but as always more Hellenic flavour? A big YES!

    Great initiative Strategos keep up the good work bro!

    Υes. Since we're talking about the early form of Αncient Greek language (pre-Alexander death) we should write with capitals and without spaces like ΑΝΔΡΩΝΕΠΙΦΑΝΩΝΠΑΣΑΓΗΤΑΦΟΣ.
    My example was in the form of ''archaizousa'' you're right. Τhanks for your post mate.

    Game is set in the post-Alexander Hellenistic era of Diadochoi. Instead of stoned letters, use some font emulating the writing styles of papyri? "Imagine if this game was being played at a computer terminal in the Library of Alexandria, the year that the game starts..."? Here's one example: http://individual.utoronto.ca/atlode...cialFonts.html
