How to deal with several settlements in the same region? Like for instance Tus Nishapur and the castle between them are all in the region of Khorisan?

Simple. The engine reads the name in the parenthesis but displays what's outside the parenthesis ingame. So....

{Nishapur_Region} Khorisan Region
{Nishapur} Nishapur
{Tus_Region} Khorisan Region
{Tus} Tus

The names in the parenthesis must be different but not the names outside the parenthesis.

[teh.frickin.pope]

East Khorisan, West Khorasan, Khorasan Major, etc.

Could be one way of sorting it out.

[Miraj]

Hmm actually yeah I guess that is a way around multiple regions that belong to one historical province.

Anyways, if you have the historical regional name of a given city (ie kutaisi -> kartli, Nishapur -> west khorasan, Somnath -> south Gujarat) then please post it and we can edit the intial file as we go.

[Kavhan Isbul]

Instead of Varna, Eastern Moesia or even Eastern Bulgaria would be more appropriate. The best however would be to name it with the appropriate name of the Eastern Roman tema at the time. For all the temas, I hope that ERE experts will help.

[Kara Kolyo]

Varna in ERE would be more appropriate to be called Thema Paristrion - as it was known before the 1185 rebellion. Otherwise it could be called Moesia

[Ham the Pharoah]

The Damyut city in Egypt. It's Dumyat.

[Miraj]

Oh... you can have the same name in the external name. Sweet.

[B. Ward]

Oh... you can have the same name in the external name. Sweet.

sure can my friend

[IrAr]

Van--> Vaspurakan
Ani--> Vanand
Karin (Erzurum)--> Bardzr Hayk
Diyarbakir (Amid)--> Mets Tsopk The rulers of the area at this point, however were predominantly Kurdish but extra names can't hurt
I'm not sure about the historical regions of Yerevan and Dvin. Dvin may been merely Dvin, but I'm not sure so I'd rather not venture a guess.

what the hell... why change to armenian names... those are the turkish names because turks ruled those areas

and armenians only ruled them in 528 BC and before.... after that they were vassals of romans and sent to cilicia till the seljuk turks kicked them out again, which afterwards they never had a country again


please don't allow such a great mod to fall prey to armenian ultra nationalism

[Heinz Guderian]

please don't allow such a great mod to fall prey to armenian ultra nationalism

Great thing about a Middle Eastern mod, though...don't see too many Ghurids, Ghaznavids, or Khwarzeminids running around these days, so no "OMGZ KHWRZM NED MR HVY INFTRY THY PWN 1337!!11one"

Thank the Mongols.

That was wierd to type..usually it's "Blame the Mongols."

Sorry for the off topic post, Miraj.

ShuttingTFU now.

Edit: Saqsin - Lower Volga? that is the mouth of the Volga River there, right?

[Miraj]

I edited in Van and Ani's proper provincial name.

For Erzurum and Diyarbakir are those Armenian names or just general names?

For Yerevan and Dvin would it be proper to use something like "Armenia Province" or "Western Armenia"/"Eastern Armenia".

Those are Armenian names. I think for Diyarbakir it should probably have a Kurdish name because of the ruling class--which was more deep rooted than the ruling class of Karin/Erzurum at the time. For Karin/Erzurum (quite the po-tay'-to and po-taw'-to issue), it is subject to much debate. This calls for light treading because of the necessity to not step on cultural toes, which is immensely difficult in Anatolia and the Caucasus, let alone other locales included in BC's epic scope though this is much easier because with such an intelligent group here at TWC, Turkish/Armenian/everyone's toes are much more durable!

[Rex Inanimatus]

I will post my findings tomorrow, because there is a lot of debate amongst historians about the arabian lands and so far i haven't settled with the many sides of this discussion,

[Miraj]

Why not use one name for city and another for province then? Like Erzurum I picked because I read a seljuk atabeg/breakaway was in control there. So we can keep it Erzurum and name the province "Karin Province"?

As far as actual Armenian homeland goes, it should be Armenian names regardless of what transient warlord was in control.
