Feel free to suggest any changes

I will appreciate any help with these: Milan, Egypt, Aztecs, Turks, France, England, Moors, Spain, Georgia.
What I need is - the names of these factions in native languages(that were used at least during the medieval history) or in latin.

I just adjust the file and reattach it everytime I add something new, so check the thread from time to time.

Die Germanisch Orden von Ritters

this is funny, as it is 1:1translated from english "German Order of Knights" into german... (and doesn´t make sence).
didn´t noticed that befor

thanks

[Tokus*Maximus]

Thank you for your mod!

You've inspired me too... I'm going to make a nic-name mod and reduce all faction down to one single word. Nice an' blunt. I can barely say the painfully long names as it is (and they run of the screen in some places).

[Kjertesvein]

IIRC, Venetian generals and Family Members are described as Oligarch and something else in that text document.jeez Patriarch may be a better name, I don't know. I will look into some of these funny names and bring you a bag of proper names instead.

Okay
BTW, the Patriarch is a word that means the head of the Orthodox chirch, at least in most cases :c But I can be wrong ofc, especially as far as the medieval history is concerned

[LaMuerte]

Thanks for this.

I could add another one : 'Die graafschap van Vlaanderen' should be 'Het graafschap van Vlaanderen'

[Overlord.ru]

Thanks for this.

Are you 100% sure? Okay, I'll do it

EDIT: Done

[LaMuerte]

Yeah , I'm 100% sure. My heart bleeds everytime I have to read 'Die' , that's just so German

Thanks again from us Dutch speaking players. (if that makes sense to you)

I updated the silly things.

Plutocrat and Oligarch now is Patrician and Powerful Patrician. (not patriarch)

Also changed a handful of changes to the Norwegian ones like what happens when your forces are attacked: "your forces are attacked by a Norse army" (rather then the Latin and formal terminology of "attacked by an army of Riki Norvegh"). It just sound more genuine for a scout to communicate in common tongue.

Army/fleet - Leidangr
Spy/assassin - Gestir
and a few more.

[Overlord.ru]

Good job! Yep, Patrician sounds more italian
Special thx for the Norwegian updates

[mega nix]

can you make a version where the faction names are corresponding to the 21 century??
Sometimes it's very difficult for me to see what country it is in reality :b

[Overlord.ru]

I think the post #4 can be an answer for you, mega nix. But I'll consider it, maybe soon enough

[Overlord.ru]

Updated. Changed Factions' names:

Il Serenìsima Repùblica di Vèneta -> Serenìsima Repùblica Vèneta
Il Royaume de Sicile -> Regnu di Sicilia
Patrimonium Sancti Petri -> Status Pontificius
Riki Danmaurk -> Kongeriget Danmark
An Rìoghachd na h-Alba -> Kinrick o Scotland
El Reino de Gallaecia y Portucal - > Reino de Portugal
An Tiarnalong de Éire -> Tiarnas na hÉireann
Didžioji Kunigaikštystė iš Lietuva -> Lietuvos Didžioji Kunigaikštystė
Le Regnum de Jérusalem -> Regnum Hierosolimitanum
Kilikioh Haikakan Takavorootiunuh -> Kilikio Haykakan Tagavorutyun
Riki Norvegh -> Kongeriket Norge

I(and other players too) would appreciate any help with these: Milan, Egypt, Aztecs, Mongols, Turks, France, England, Moors, Spain, Georgia.
What I need is - the names of these kingdoms\states\factions in native languages(or languages that were used) in the end of the 12th century.

[Kjertesvein]

@mega nix

For me it's blantanly obvious were England is( even if it's called Anglo-something), I also know dead on that the spy is still a spy even if he is called Gestir. I'm personally a fan of those old names because it brings abit of charm into the picture. But I still see your (Mr Tokus pookus') point as far as lingua franca go.

Personally I see 2 versions: One which include what would be used at the time, while another version in modern English.

Let's take Medieval Norway: Riki Norvegh, which was the formal way of addressing Norway for Europeans - in Latin. Each agent and named character would be named after formal native titles. This means Hirðtiorar instead of Family Members, and Leiðangr instead of army. Unformal situations like a scout telling you that you are attacked by France should be generic "You are attack be a frankish army". Borg instead of Fort, and Kaupmadr instead of Merchant, but that takes times (ergo it's secondary).

Then let's take Medieval Norway in modern English: Kingdom of Norway. Each agent and named character would be named after native titles, but spoken in English. This means Hird Leaders instead of Family Members, and Leidang instead of army. Unformal situations like a scout telling you that you are attacked by France should be generic "You are attack be a French army". Fort and merchant would still be fort and merchant since it means the exact same.

@ .ru
Here is that Patrician thing:

Family Member - Potente Patrizio
General - Patrizio

And .ru, most of those faction names which is currently used is in Latin, because that was the formal way of addressing it back in the day. It's like English today. there is a discussion at the old Text Overhaul mod. The spelling on the other hand is awful

Done Thx a lot.

Agreed, I know that Latin was the main language in the whole Europe, but on the other hand I suppose it's impossible to find all the names in Latin, so that they were correct and with the right spelling. Those names I've added are all as they are in native languages, I took that from Wikipedia(for example, the Venice is now as it sounded in venetian,etc)
P.S. I'll check the thread. Thx

[Emerentius]

I could add another one : 'Die graafschap van Vlaanderen' should be 'Het graafschap van Vlaanderen'

Sorry, It would be better as "Graafschap Vlaanderen".
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graafschap_Vlaanderen or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_of_Flanders

[Overlord.ru]

Okay, it's now Het Graafschap Vlaanderen.

[lafeeverted]

Hey Overlord.ru, nice work, looks like your mini-mod is not going to be so mini after all!

[Kjertesvein]

Ok man.
