1.0.4 Native Faction Names

Description
Replace boring Latinised English faction names with more native names from the native languages of the Italic peninsula and beyond. Note that the faction names had to be capitalised due to issues with diacritics.

*Disclaimer: I have minimal training in philology. All names are proposed as accurate to a degree. Considerable research has gone into them, but historical linguistics is a tricky art, especially with languages with limited or even no amounts of texts at all. Do not take these names are definite or final, only as good fun, and good training for me.

You can find more detailed and more technical (not necessary logical, correct, or accurate) descriptions of the origins on the faction names by checking the string file comments (usually the ::NAME entry for each faction name).

Thank you, interesting point about loyalty to king vs. loyalty to kingdom

I am not an expert, but I will give it a shot, at least for the Seleucids.. In OGIS 219, Antiochus the first calls it his πατρώιαν ἀρχήν, his ancestral arche, and the βασιλείαν, basileia (kingdom), though his title, and that of his father is always basileus (king).
Treaties at the time were between the monarch and his subjects, so there was no official name for the kingdom, since it was not necessary. If you wanted to reach the administration, it was always through an official (of the king, not the kingdom), or the king himself. You sweat fealty to the king, and your send your dues to the king, and you vow to be loyal to the king, not the empire.

If you wanted to, you could make up a name like 'Arché tôn Seleukeíôn' (Empire of the Seleucids).
