Macedonia Is NOT GREECE!!!

[macedonia4ever]

My two biggest problems with this game is #1 Macedonia IS NOT GREECE!!! I come from Lerin, Macedonia, which is now renamed Florina, Greece. The Greeks renamed all of the Macedonians cities/villages when they took over in 1908. As someone who paid good money for this game I expect Fraxis and 2K Games to know this. Macedonians are NOT Greek and should not be referred to as Hellenic or Greek, this is all Greek/Hellenic Propaganda, and propaganda should not be included in a sophisticated game such as Civ VI.

Other than that the game runs horribly on AMD Vega 64 under Linux. Yes it runs, but with a lot of screen glitch errors and it is impossible to start a single player campaign without entering the story-line, at least so I have I found. If these two fixes were made to the game it would be near perfect, but its lacklustre Linux performance and fake history makes this game a total bust. I wish I hadn't spent the money I did. Total garbage and complete disrespect to the Macedonians as well as as modern Linux gamers. Shame on you Fraxis and 2K.

Which would be why Macedonia is its own civ in-game, with Alexander at its head.

Makedonia, Alexandros are greek words. Makedonia and Makedonians greek people.
Greek or Hellas the same thing, so after death of Alexander, all the states was Hellenistic states ("Hellenistic" from Hellas). (Civ 1 until Civ 5 Alexander was a Greek leader.)

The Makedonian kingdom was founded and initially ruled by the royal Greek Argead dynasty . Macedonians were descended from the same tribal group Sparta.

Makedonia,Athens,Sparta are different states in the same Greek civilization .
Kingdom of Makedon not contained at start Illyrians and Dardanians(Skopje) .

All Greek states desided to stop Persian invasion together with the same Gods.
With Philippos father of Alexander(Philippos is Greek word means friend of horses) as the elected hegemon and commander-in-chief of a planned invasion of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia.It was the first time in history that most of the Greek states (with the notable exception of Sparta) managed to become part of a single political entity.

Alexander spread Greek culture and language in Asia. So all of the books that would eventually form the New Testament were written in the Koine Greek language. These books were later translated into other languages Latin etc.

"..Through his campaigns he would bring Greek culture, language, and civilization to the world and.." https://www.ancient.eu/Hellenic_World/
Makedon was a Greek Kingdom and make Greek temples until Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Slavs come to Makedonia a lot of years after the birth of Makedonia Kingdom.
About Yugoslavia(Southslavs) Makedonia ..this is not your fault, but communist Stalin/Tito propaganda against NATO Greece.

"Alexander the Great, born in 356 BC, was a king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon and one of the greatest conquerors the world has ever known."
