I would call them Roman Empire, but that causes confusion with the Pope. Actually we can change the Pope's city and country to Vatican, which may or may bot be more accurate.
I'll go along with it too, though it will take a bit of getting used. Maybe in the opening menu they could be called Eastern Roman Empire ( aka Byzantium ).
Opening menu shows the name of the people i.e. The Spanish, The Magyars, The Turks. So I am making that one The Romaii. The name would be East Roman Empire, in short ... Romaki? maybe. I am not sure.
The Vatican is inappropriate since it was found in the 20th century. I would call it the Holy See.
Or the Papacy/ Papal States which is more historically accurate.
I agree with micbic, Papal and Eastern Roman. I don't like the idea of calling them "Romaii" anywhere in the game, that would just be confusing to anyone who hasn't participated in the thread.
Yae God forbid they were to learn something new
OK, East Rome it is.
I agree too. Even I'm not too old to learn, believe it or not.
BTW I've posted the Warlords files for olives on the Roman roads thread. Hope they're OK.
I prefer to keep Byzantium as Byzantium. It's the name by which everyone knows it. We can always work on dynamic naming later.
@Verily: Error message at the German map; the Austrian is OK.
