Input requested - faction naming

[caesar44]

in the campaign map you should call the factions like in a modern map , that is , the political name
even that is very hard
let us take rome as an example , these are the options -
1. rome (the city itself in english)
2. roma (the city itself in latin)
3. senatus popolusque que romanum (the senate and the roman people in latin , a political term)
4. imperium romanum (all the territories that were under roman control - roman empire)
5. quirites (after the first roman king , romulus-quiritus)
6. just romans
7. the res publica or roman republic (we should remember that rome was a rebublic until 44 or 27 bce)
etc'

so again , in modern political maps we see political names and that should be the choice (for examples - french republic and not the land of the french , us of a and not the americans territories , the state of israel and not the jewish state etc')

I agree with Simetrical that the more formal aspects (diplomacy) of the game should use the Political name, while less formal ones like armies and stuff should use the people.

This is a really hard question to have an ironclad rule though for, as many people have pointed out, so I would say unless you do something along Simetrical's lines (rough base) I would say the people's names in general for gaming ease. If you have tons of long names in foreign languages, people won't really care too much and just use the current name. Eg if you use that long carthage name instead of Tsorim, I'll just think of them as Carthage. As of now even when playing vanilla, I'm hyped enough that I already think of carthage as Tsorim. So for aesthetic reasons I would say the people's names (from what I know)

I hope this thread ain't all out of date and this was a waste of typing.
