Better Names for Factions in the IA-campaign

Hey there,

this is Ermanarich and I present you my little new mod:
Better Names for Factions in the Imperator Augustus Campaign.

This mod changes some faction names in Imperator Augustus Campaign to more historical ones.

Changed faction names:
Egypt -> Ptolemaic Egypt
Ardhan -> Albania
Arii -> Harii
Helveconae -> Burgundiones

Now, to the reasons:

Ptolemaic Egypt (Egypt):
I renamed Eqypt, because under the leadership of the Ptolemies, Egypt wasn't anymore the ancient one. It was ruled by Greeks, so it should also have a hellenic name.

Albania (Ardhan):
Ardhan is the Persian name for the Caucasian Kingdom of Albania. But if you look at this campaign, every faction has a latin name, even Parthia. In Persian, Parthia would be Parthava. So I decided to hold the line of latin names and rename this kingdom to Albania.

Harii (Arii):
In roman sources, this lugian/vandilic tribe was called Harii, their name is related to oldnordic 'Heer', which means army or devils troop. I have no idea why CA called them Arii, but regarding the history in the last century I think this name wasn’t the best choice... And also, it's not the right name.

Helveconae (Burgundiones):
The Burgundiones were one of the better known Germanic tribes. They came to the land near the river Vistula in the 1st century BC. Soon they became a important power in the region, even if they weren't as strong and successful as some of their neighbour-tribes.
The problem with the Helveconae is, that there is almost nothing, what we know about them; They were a tribe in the tribal league of the Lugians. They are only mentioned two times in a list of the tribes who were part of the Lugians, and that’s all.

This mod should be compatible with almost everything (savegame and other mods).
I'm just not sure how it is with mods which change the name of factions...

Thanks to Magnar for his great tutorials, in this case the faction names tutorial and to Cataph for helping me during the decisions, which names to change.

This mod is thought to be used together with my Playable Factions Mod for Imperator Augustus: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=416873046&searchtext=

If you don't aggree with my renamings or have wishes for further renamings, you are invited to post it down here :)
Also if you have Issues with my mod- write and I'll fix it.

*****IMPORTANT INFORMATION:*****
When you wanna play other campaigns than Imperator Augustus, DISABLE this mod. Otherwise, the factions will be nameless!!!!!
