Antigonids in Asia Minor-Hell yeah, but what to call them?

**General Appo** · 05-31-2008, 21:47

This is how Greece and Asia Minor looks in my Carthaginian campaign in 252 BC (or well, it´s a bit less blurry). Anyway, point is, the Makedonians have been driven from Makedonia by the Epirotes, and since most of their kingdom is in Asia Minor and their capital in Pergamon I don´t want to call them Makedonia anymore.
So I´m wondering what I should call them. They own Demetrias, Chalkis, Mytilene, Nikaia, Pergamon and Ipsos. Their capital is in Pergamon, as is their military base.
Their Basileus is Kalos Argeades, and I was thinking that maybe he´d do like Seleukos Nikator and Ptolemaios Soter and name it after himself.
Anyway, I really need some advice on what to call them (and maybe some how the change their name in-game, though I could always just search around for that).
The name can be either just what they´d most likely been called had it actually happened, or just really cool. Preferably both though.
Thanks in advance.

Well, Antigonidai perhaps. Can be wrong though.

Arche Antigoneia?

It would seem logical to call it the Kingdom of Pergamon, or whatever the translation would be in Greek. After all, Pergamon was quite a successful diadochi(sp?) state in history.

Yeh. Pergamese Kingdom definitely.

I believe the Pergamene Kingdom was ruled by the Attalid dynasty. If you have a decent family member with the name Attalos, you could make him the heir, and upon his ascension to the throne you could begin playing the Pergamene Attalids.

Yeah but you know, I´m Carthage. I think I´ll either go with Arche Antigoneia or whatever the Pergamese Kingdom would be in Greek. Any one that could help me with that?
