Hey Like_A_Stone! Love this mod combined with Dresden's diplo mod! Just wanted to give you a heads up that your mod was featured on ROME II Mods Weekly the other day! Thought you'd appreciate it :)

I'm quite knowledgeable about history and here are some names I think are realistic and make sense. I've given more then one name idea.

British: Pretannia / Brythonia / Brythonic Empire
Gallic: Gallic Empire / Gaul
Celtic: Keltoi Empire / Keltoi League / Keltoi Confederation / Galatian Empire (Greeks called the celts Keltoi and the non-gallic/british celts are located close to the greeks. These celts might've been somewhat influenced by Greek culture. Galatian also makes sense because although Galatia exists in the game, Galatia just means Gaul in ancient Greek and the celts around pannonia, thracia and anatolia all stem from the Gauls).
Celtiberian: Iberian Empire / Iberia
Germanic: Germania / Germanic Reich
Greek: Hellenic Empire / Hellenistic League (similar to yours)
(Carries on below)

Steppe: Scythia (Scythia covered all of the ingame steppe before it shattered and became royal Scythia due to its claim. Forming Scythia would be like reclaiming it. Horde of the Steppe isn't realistic) / Alania (Who descend from Scythians and Sarmatians. Alan means Aryan and many pre-turkic/mongolic steppe peoples considered themselves as Aryans. The iranians and indians both have the same roots as the scythians and consider themselves aryan because they stem from there (the indo europeans who lived in that very steppe) also Alans came about a few hundred years later then the 4th century so it makes sense)
(Carries on below)

Afro-Arabian: Arabian Empire / Arabic Empire / Arabia
Eastern: Persian Empire / Iranian Empire
Daco-Thracian: Dacian Empire / Thracian Empire / Balkan Empire
Illyrian: Illyrian Empire / Illyria / Illyricum / Dalmatia
Punic: Phoecian Empire / Punic Empire (Punic has roots in the word Phoecian. Carthaginians technically still considered themselves Phoecian and I think Phoecian sounds cooler but the word Punic is more accurate to the language the Carthaginians spoke at the time, though Phoecian Empire'd still be an accurate name).

I've changed these in mine to:

British: Albion
Gallic: Gallia
Celtic: Cissonian League
Celtiberian: stayed the same, the CIC is eternal
Germania: Shwarzholz Reich
Greek: stayed the same
Steppe: Kegenate
Afro-Arabian: Majan Empire
Eastern: Katarsumeria
Daco-Thracian: Moesian Kingdom
Illyrian: Illyrian Confederation
Punic: Qarthadasht

And I added:
Numidian: Inumiden
Egyptian: Kemet
Etruscan: Etruscan League
Iapygian: Iapygian League

Since you used Germania for the Germanic, you might as well have changed the Iceni to Britannia

ariani empires kinda weird

could u pls create a mod that only changes the punic confederation to Punic League
and that makes a punic confederation possible ?! :P

I like Alpine's 'Gaul' suggestion, for what its worth

Please could you change the eastern confederation from Persian empire to empire of the east

Can you change Illyrian League to just Illyria, and Gallic Confed to just Gaul or Gallia?

I think if you just called it "Gaul" instead of "Gallic Confederation" that'd be nicer~

What about simply 'Britania' for the Iceni/Britans?

for rome
Rome and The Etruscan League: The Second Roman Kingdom (if the league is moar powerful), The Roman Republican League (if rome is moar powerful)

For the Greeks: Union of Hellenic States

Britons: Covenant of the Morrigan

Gauls: Lugh's Radiance

Alpine Celts: The Alliance of Artio

Galatians: The Republic of Galatia

Merchants of the Levant, Babylonia. And for more fun than accuracy, Dubai.

confederation mod

u should add some thing like Italia or Latin confederacy for rome and etruscan league *available with "confederation mod [patch 15]" by Zethournus because i did it with world peace mod (just for dat reason) and its still called rome.

@ToonTotalWar - Sure thing, I'd be honored!

nice mod! May i have prmission to add to my AIO mod? full credit will be given, thanks

For the Iceni/Britannian names, I would suggest something like Kingdom of Mists.

I like what you did with Germania, it actually makes them sound like these big tribes are joining together to make a true nation. You should do it with more of the barbarians, like Gauls: Gallia, British Confederation could be: Brittania... even if these aren't historically accurate it would still be cool. Makes your confederacy feel more personal and important than just a gathering of barbarians. That is just my suggestion though, hope to see you continue going in that route with the barbarians.

Caliphate would be kewl, i'd love to fight them and conquer the middle east in the ancient world

Punic : Greater Carthage / Phoenician League

Eastern : Nova Persis

Italian : Mundus Italicus
(between the etrurian league and rome)

Germanic : (United) Tribes of Germania

mixed ethnicity (using Imperator's confederation mod) : (Imperium) Mundus


---------- Just for fun --------

Punic : We Hate Rome

Celtiberian : We Hate Carthage

British : Naked Men united / Blue Man Group

Gallic : Winelands

Steppe : I'm on a horse / We're on horses

@Richard Dawkins No, but at one point in the 200's it broke away from Rome and became an Empire for a few years

Gallic Confederation --> Horde of Gaulia

hellenic league-The Hellenic Empire Of Greece

split the arabs, Aetiopians and Libyans. They where and are three diffrent cultures and people.

Arabian confideration could be = Al-mamlaka Al-kubra (the great kingdom/empire)
Aetiopian confideration could be = Boqortooyadii Kuushna (Empire of Cush)
Libyan confideration could be = Amuni Amekran (The great Union)

peace!!!!

I suggest Kemet for the African Arabian confederation. Kemet, as Ancient Egypt was known to its own people, conquered parts of Aethiopia, Libya and Nabataea giving it a historic claim to both African and Arabian cultures.

I think Celtic confederations should be called chiefdoms.

dolan, gaul under that name never became a kingdom. it was simply the name given to the region that is now france. i agree the name doesn't quite sound right considering the nature of barbarians but i suppose its good enough considering any alliances of the time were temporary at best and wouldn't have turned into any single kingdom or nation

Did gaul ever become a Kingdom? The name doesnt really feel like it fits a barbaric nation.

For Arian I think you should go Empire instead of Confederation They typically made empires not confederacies when you got that big.

I still really think Cissonic Order is bad because Orders have always been Catholic Institutions.

Any thought on choosing a single "theme" for the celts? having orders, kingdoms and confederacies for the celts is weird considering they're still all celts, CA just decided to not make them the "same blood" so Confederations can't unite half the game map

The reason I have chosen to name some cultures as Kingdoms, Leagues, Orders, or Empires, as opposed to simply confederations was for variety and a reimagining of Rome 2's confederation system. Rome 2's system is simplistic, and doesn't really form a confederacy with local autonomy and rival tribes banding together. It creates a largely permanent merging of 2 or more tribes/factions. In these cases, it's not that much of a leap to imagine some factions creating kingdoms or empires.

Thanks again for the feedback. I should have an update out with these describes changes soon.

There have been some good comments. I am planning to change the Eastern culture group name to "Ariana Confederacy", based on the historical geographic name for the area containing most of Rome 2's eastern factions.

The Afro-Arabian culture group will be changed to "Magan Empire" as there seems to be a greater consensus around that spelling.

Cissonic Order is named for the Celtic god of trade. I envisioned it as a name for a Celtic diplomatic and economic confederation (order or union).

Cissonic Order sounds like a holy order of Catholic Middle Ages, I suggest scrapping that, and either go with Kingdom of Prydain/Brythonia and Kingdom of Gaul or Brythonic Confederation/Gallic Confederation, having them different is clunky. same for Germans.

Eastern Cultures, as said, are NOT arab. they are Indo-Aryan cultures and not semitic in the least, you might want to just scrap it for that culture group since all the cultures are vastly different so maintaining their regular names would probably be better/easier

Where did Majan Empire come from, it sounds pretty cool

Danubian Empire sounds a bit funky as well I can't really say what should replace it though, maybe scrapping that one inculding Daco-Thracian since both sound atrocious, a Dacian led Empire would be Dacia and Thracian would be Thracia really.

''Eastern: Kingdom of Araba (not misspelled, actually based on the historical Kingdom of Araba with its capital at Hatra and under Parthian influence''

no this is terrible, change this, the desert nomad cultures should be called Kingdom of Araba. Eastern factions are not arab factions

no...... not better.
you need to think this one out a little more, firstly a kingdom and confederation are two different things, secondly, garmania, and danubian ? bro...... get back to the drawing board

stupid.

Kingdom of Germania-Sounds way better.
United States of Greece :) just an idea

I wouldn't mind for the British Confederation to be called Great Britain, or even The United Kingdom...But I don't know how that'll sit well with everyone

For an even better name,Daco-Thracian should be Kingdom of Dacia,just sayin'

Is this save game compatible?

'Fun' History Fact: The Kingdom of Gaul was a real thing! It did happen. Admittedly at a later time period (after Gaul had been part of Rome for a century or so) but nonetheless, exist it surely did.
Which is to say, I think it's a good name still.

I think the !00,000 Romans casualties is a gross exaggeration. The people of Gaul were highly independent peoples and would probably fight to the last man than to have Gallic overlords that are from a rival tribe so it should be Gallic League or Gallic Confederation, me thinks. All the other names a great.

Kingdom of Gaul is bad, should be something like Children of Vercingetorix, or Vercingetorix's Kingdom. He was considered a king but did not proclaim himself to be one, so it was not really a kingdom but rather an Alliance. But either way, Roughly 1 million gauls died against the 100,000 casualties that the Romans sustained; my point being that their unity was not very strong and, as Caesar said, he was able to "divide and conquer" the poorly united people.

The difference between this and the other version is the addition of unique names for Daco-Thracian and Illyrian confederations.

In addition, the British, Germanic, and Celtic confederations have been changed from the names they had in the last mod.

By the way, DeathBringer: The "even" is the difference <;)

You called the Germanic confederation, Germania. So why dont you rename the Kingdom of Gaul to Gaul?
