Hello, good friends of EB!
I am doing some very minor modding of the game "Hegemony Gold: Wars of Ancient Greece" the expansion of "Hegemony: Philip of Macedon", by changing the names of factions and cities to their realistic equivalents; more or less inspired by EB.
I have almost no knowledge of the Ancient Greek language, but I've been wracking my brain and using translators, greeklish converters, google, wikipedia and such to try and get the names right. The cities aren't giving me too much trouble, but the faction names are really stumping me. Therefore I'd like to ask any kind soul here who'd be willing to give me a few moments of their time, if these are at all correct.
I have completely left out diacritics, because as far as I can tell the game only supports some of them, while other characters are left blank.
Bold is the original game name, italic my attempts at naming:
Acarnanian League - Koinon Akarnanion
Achaean League - Koinon Akhaion
Aetolian League - Koinon Aitolion
Arcadian League - Koinon Arkadion
Argolis(Argolid Federation) - Argolis
Athenian Empire - Koinon Delion
Balkan Mountain Tribes -
Boeotian League - Koinon Boiotion
Central Odrysian Kingdom -
Chalcidian League - Koinon Khalkidikon
Corinthia(Corinthian Alliance) - Korinthia
Crete - Krete
Danube Valley Tribes -
Eastern Odrysian Kingdom -
Elean League - Koinon Elion
Illyrians - Illyrioi
Kingdom of Epirus - Epeiros
Kingdom of Macedonia - Makedonia)
Lacedaemonians - Lakedaimon
Paeonia - Paionia
Persian Empire - Haxamanishiya
Phocian League(Phocians) - Koinon Phokion
Thessalian League - Koinon Thessalikoinon
Tyrants of Pherae - maybe Tyrannaios ton Pheron?
Western Odrysian Kingdom -
What I have for the Seas:
Adriatic Sea -
Aegean Sea - Aigaion Pelagos
Black Sea - Euxeinos Pontos
Cretan Sea - Kretaion Pelagos
Ionian Sea - Ionon Pelagos
Thracian Sea - Thraikion Pelagos
May I also ask what the Greeks might have called the Adriatic Sea?
Thanks for any help you might be able to give. I really do appreciate it.
Edit: Updated the list to include all factions and seas. I apologize that some are still unnamed.
