Unfortunately a lot of the DLC Factions have blank names, including Desert Kingdoms pack and new DLC Campaigns.

If you could possibly spend a little time to update it for us, I'd really appreciate it as this is one of my favourites.

"When you wanna play Hannibal at the Gates Campaign, DISABLE this mod. Otherwise, the factions in HatG will be nameless!!!!!"
Goes for the Augustus campaign as well, and possibly the Wrath of Sparta campaign.

Thanks for the mod!

yeah it wouldn't be historically correct, but is babylon historical at this time?
Ermanarich  [author] 15 Feb, 2017 @ 2:35pm 
@Gyrosmeister: Nope, look it up in Wikipedia, etc.

@Mr. White: I'm sorry, I'm currently not into modding anymore, I don't have the time for it. Also, this wouldn't be historically correct, which is the idea of this pack.

can you rename media atropatene to assyria?

I can understand you. I managed it, but somehow it doesn´t work anymore
Ermanarich  [author] 27 Feb, 2016 @ 3:12pm 
Ah, I see you managed to do it on your own. Sorry that I didn't answer, I haven't got time to play at the moment and so I didn't use Steam for a long time.
Ace 14 Feb, 2016 @ 10:28am 
Can someone tell me how to change the name? (And the icons maybe) I couldn´t find any tutorials in Google. I want to change the Ardahan faction in Caucasia to the Chechen faction. I mean Chechnya as a name and the Chechen flag as the icon. Pls.
Ace 14 Feb, 2016 @ 1:03am 
Is it easy to change the factions´ name
Ermanarich  [author] 24 Jan, 2016 @ 3:55pm 
@KurusIV:
Yep. :D

@talbostein: I'm sorry, I don't have the time for this at the moment. But if you look there, you'll find at least three new indian units: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=290794598&searchtext=Arachosia
talbostein 17 Jun, 2015 @ 1:13am

@TBO Ermanarich: I'm surprised that historical inaccuracy is so prevalent in CA's work though. Ah well, thanks to modders like you, we can have a good time :)
Ermanarich  [author] 7 Apr, 2015 @ 1:41pm 
@[Lift+] MerchantofMars: Haha :D The funny thing is, that propably someone wanted to name this faction Ptolemaic Kingdom first, because in the tables, the faction's key is Ptolemaics or something.
Yodur 7 Apr, 2015 @ 1:41am 
I hate how dumb CA were when they named Egypt. Yes, the region was called Aegyptus and yes it was home to the ancient Egyptian kingdom, but it was not called Egypt!

Ptolemaic Kingdom ftw

ok men thanks :)
Ermanarich  [author] 3 Apr, 2015 @ 1:20pm 
@nez: Thanks. I'm pretty sure it works, I played two days ago with it and it worked without problems.
nez 1 Apr, 2015 @ 4:29pm 
update :) and awesome work btw
Belad 1 Feb, 2015 @ 12:56am 
Thanks for your answer, It is very difficult to find correct informations. It looks like the two regions north of the province "Parthia" in game would fit in the Hyrcania one, no from that to have it a faction name its very complicate but at least I understand your choice.
I should have started a discussions rather than just comenting, thus I wont go further in the argument. This mod is great anyway so thanks!
Ermanarich  [author] 27 Jan, 2015 @ 11:54am 
P.S.: Feel free to write everything you want, especially if its about errors or other wrong faction names I didn't see yet (also in HatG, CiG, WoS or the Augustus Campaign)! ;)
Ermanarich  [author] 27 Jan, 2015 @ 11:54am 
@Belad:
Thanks for the information, but the map you showed me isn't totally correct.
I have an atlas at home, called the "historical atlas of the world of the Antike" (not the real name, its translated from german), which shows the borders and such things very exactly.
There is also another name in this region, called Choarene, but I couldn't find this name again anywhere, so I decided to take Hyrcania, which is much more important.

I tried to find this map in the net, sadly I can't find it.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Hyrcania.PNG
Here you can see the whole area of Hyrcania, on another map.

(You can also read on Wikipedia about Hyrcania, or another thing, the so called "Caspian Hyrcanian mixed forests", which are in the mountains south of the Caspian sea)

With Parthia, thats right. I just made it because some people asked for it.
Belad 26 Jan, 2015 @ 8:31am 
One more thing =S (sorry but I thought I should comment), changing "Parthia" to "Parthian Empire" doesn't make sense at all, sorry for the requester but here you are changing factions names, not empires names or we should call the faction Rome into Roman Empire. Two different things
Belad 26 Jan, 2015 @ 8:30am 
http://sitemaker.umich.edu/mladjov/files/diadokhoi315nbc.jpg Nice MAP
Parthava is Parthia, so the only other name you can give to Parthava is Parthia, but this will bring you to the same problem CA must had faced, thus the name Parthava is the best option. Also if we really want to be correct and fit the historical time period maybe the faction we play with should be called Arsacid (which would have been best), or Parni, or be part of the Dahae. But since it will be called Parthia latter and give birth to the Parthian empire then it should be name so from the start.
Belad 26 Jan, 2015 @ 8:29am 
Hey, what you are doing is great, I like mods like this, thanks a lot.
However, finding the right information for this mod must be hard. I do not know much about other names but for "Parthava" I think you may have misunderstood why they called it so. On the Total War forum there is a thread that talks about it -- http://forums.totalwar.com/showthread.php/125170-parthia-parthava -- it explains it well. In the same time, it really depends on the quality of the map you look at, and to be honest the few good maps I found have Hyrcania on a position higher north than Parthia, so calling Parthava Hyrcania isn't correct. You can also look at older map, Persian for example.

@nezly: No problem ;) I see what you mean.
nez 18 Jan, 2015 @ 2:01pm 
and noone scythian live today..for that reason are the greek
nez 18 Jan, 2015 @ 2:00pm 
ooohh sry i was thinking you said bosporian kingdom was not greek..sry for my bad english:P
Ermanarich  [author] 18 Jan, 2015 @ 8:16am 
@nezly: So what exactly do you want to say with this?
The Bosporan Kingdom was greek, as I wrote in the description.

But they weren't the oldest people in Crimea. Before the greeks came there and founded their city-colonies there were already some indigenous tribes in this region, and even during the period of the Bosporan Kingdom, there was a Scythian kingdom in the west of the peninsula.
nez 17 Jan, 2015 @ 2:59pm 
Yes bosporian kingdom isnt greek,yes yes..

@[AZE]☪ OGUZ HAN:
The Caspii lived between the rivers Cyrus and Araxes at the shore of the Caspian Sea. And of course, this sea is named after them.
Ardhan is the persian name for the Caucasian Kingdom Albania. But in 272, this Kingdom wasn't independent (Albania is also first mentioned around 80 BC). Another thing is, that the Kingdom of Albania wasn't centrally in the region, where it is set in Rome 2.

@Marcus Octavius Gabini Ferrarius: You mean, to change it to "Parthian Empire"? If so, you can be happy. Its already inside.
Mr. White 15 Dec, 2014 @ 7:39am 
you are right,a at the start of the game persia is not empire anymore, but what about parthia? :D
Ermanarich  [author] 15 Dec, 2014 @ 7:33am 
@Marcus Octavius Gabini Ferrarius: Sorry, no. This doesn't seem to be right for me, because at the start of the game, it isn't an empire anymore, only a satrapy of the Seleucids.
Mr. White 15 Dec, 2014 @ 7:32am 
can you rename persia to Persian Empire??
Ermanarich  [author] 1 Dec, 2014 @ 11:53am 
Updated to patch 16. If there are still issues, please tell me!
Ermanarich  [author] 26 Nov, 2014 @ 11:43am 
@Nick: Thanks. :)
So its not working at the moment?
I will try to update it as soon as I can, maybe this weekend, but its hard to promise anything, because I have really many other things to do at the moment.
Nick 24 Nov, 2014 @ 7:51am 
Please can you update this mod to the latest version of the game, its such a fantastic addition and something that i wouldnt want to play without (given the choice). Great work again and i look forward to carrying on with my Ptolemaic African Empire! >:D
Super Earth Milkman 22 Nov, 2014 @ 12:14pm 
No problem, I don't mind waiting. Just comment on here so I know when it's ready.
Ermanarich  [author] 22 Nov, 2014 @ 11:45am 
@Special Agent Fox Mulder: Ah ok. Of course I can.
Would you mind if I first finish an other mod I am working on at the moment and especially to update some of my mods?
Super Earth Milkman 22 Nov, 2014 @ 11:35am 
I like thid mod, bu tI want Egypt to stay Egypt. Can you do that?
Ermanarich  [author] 22 Nov, 2014 @ 11:29am
