The instructions for the First Persian UHV needs to be clarified - I built the road in my game, but still failed. Clearly there needs to be more specification of the goal.

Byzyntine should never called Byzyntine, unless adopt Catholitism or vassal of catholic civs. If Rome alive - ERE, if not, and they control Constantinopol - Roman Empire.

It's germanic (western) invention. Call Roman Empire - Byzantine Empire. They never called themsefl so.

Hieronymus Wolf, is credited as the first to reference the Eastern Roman Empire with "Byzantinae",[2] which has since spread through western European scholars and gradually replaced the Eastern Roman Empire's own demonym within European academia. This replacement reflects the feud between east and west over the title of Emperor of the Romans, that began with Constantine the Great transferring the capital to Constantinople.[3]

You can make this argument in the talk section of the referenced article.

The Byzantines are not the only civ in this modmod that winds up with a name that the contemporaneous people did not use for themselves. I don't mean to open a rabbit hole since the nomenclature of the Byzantines is a real locus of attention in the historical strategy community, but at least to me this modmod clearly uses the widespread English names for the states. Germany is Germany and not Deutschland, Japan is not Nippon, China is not Zhongguo, etc.

Also, there is already a dynamic name switch for the Byzzies when they reconquer Rome that turns them to the Roman Empire, which I think is sufficient.

Yeah, I was thinking place this in Dump Ideas first, but Byzantine its not just English name for state.
You know, official history, let's say, not always correct. History write victories
