Greek Dynamic Names - Expansion and Fixes

Description
What this mod currently does:
  • Fixes all the already present Greek dynamic names so they use consistent spelling style which reflects 14th century Greek phonology (pronunciation).
  • Changes some anachronistic (too ancient or too modern) names to better fitting ones from the Medieval era. I used a variety of online sources to verify the most accurate place names used by Eastern Roman writers. Sources found here.[forum.paradoxplaza.com]
  • Adds dynamic names for all missing locations in Anatolia, Greece, Bulgaria, Southern Italy, and the Armenian Highlands (many other locations are also already covered by the vanilla list).
  • As of 1.0.1, this mod now also covers all of Greater Syria, Egypt, Cyrenaica, Northern Mesopotamia, Crimea/Black Sea Coast, and the rest of the Balkans.
  • These dynamic names are applicable to any country in EU5 which uses the Greek language.

Future plans:
  • Expand the dynamic name list to include at minimum every location within the borders of Justinian's ERE.
  • (Separate mod) Homogenize the spelling of Greek words/names across locations, character names, user interface, etc.
  • (Separate mods) Make similar mods for dynamic names of other languages, i.e. Turkish, Italian, Bulgarian, etc.

Permissions:
  • While I doubt I hold any rights to the contents of this mod anyway, for the sake of clarity, anyone who wants to use any the location names included in this mod are free to do so, including modders or Paradox developers.

This mod should be compatible with anything that doesn't also edit Greek dynamic names.

Sadly, this mod along with any other localization mods seem to disable achievements.

Greetings, I am eva3071 of the Renovatio Imperii mod for EUIV. I recently published the successor mod for Renovatio Imperii for EUV called Ananeosis Autokratorias. While the mod is bare-bones at the moment, I was able to change the map color to imperial purple rather than the vanilla purple they have for the ERE. More importantly, I spent an entire day researching and than changing the provinces names in the Balkans, Anatolia, the Armenian Highlands, the Levant, and Egypt to anglicized Greco-Roman names, fitting with the style of naming the provinces for the vanilla version.

So, I am wondering a bit of collaboration between you and me, I have already made great progress with renaming the provinces, but no way am I going to touch the location names, as number of names are, quite literally, legion. You have already changed the location names, but haven't got the province names, yet. Think about it, and if it sounds interesting, send me a message if you want.

+1 for dynamic province names in Anatolia. I could tell you where all the thema are on a blank map but will never know where the heck Bolu province is
