Interesting take on it. I guess doing it otherwise would leave the door open for too many potential conflicts/errors. I appreciate the response!

Hello! So: the reformed Roman Empire can only be reformed by the Byzantine Empire. That means they *never* exist at the same time; when the Roman Empire is created, the Byzantine Empire title is permanently destroyed.

Meaning you will not see a name change when going Byzantium-Rome, but the rest (flag, names, special decisions) will be normal.

Quick question: how does this mod handle a reformed (Western?) Roman Empire title? Is it possible that the Byzantines could still exist alongside this formable title? Would both be called "Roman Empire"? I apologize if this is ignorant, I've never reformed the WRE in-game.

Because they are known in English chiefly as "Emperor", and I like consistency (hence Tsars and Kaisers being called Emperors as well).

So why not just make it so that the Byzantines just keep their cultural names?

And Imperator, Augustus, Caesar, etc.

The Byzantine Emperors called themselves Basileus, as well as Autokrator after the Holy Roman Empire was formed.

Bahmanid is a dynastic name and thus makes no sense as a title for the entire Deccan plateau.

Byzantine Empire *is* called Roman Empire.

Ottomans also called themselves just Ottomans.

Bengal I am not sure. What is Nawabate?

I get overhauling the titles, but I'd only care if they were accurate. Deccan Empire should be called Bahmanid Sultanate, both the Byzantines and Ottomans officially called themselves Roman Empire, Bengal should be Bengal Nawabate.

It was, yes. Another reason to prefer Latin over French, personally.

this is all just because in the middle ages the documentation was in Latin.

Because that's how most of Europe actually called the place, as the Latin "Ultramare" was very often used, especially in official documents.

If you prefer Outremer, go to HolyFury.csv inside the mod folders, CTRL+F Ultramare and rename it to Outremer or whatever else you prefer!

Can You tell why Ultramare instead vanilla Outremer?

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

Suggestion #1 implies a decentralized Republican-like state like the historical one. In CK2, that's unlikely to be the case as most players use centralized monarchies - the title should have a very neutral name, if possible.

Suggestion #2 is too long! Would be the longest title in the game by a fair mile.

Hello, I think Poland-Lithuania should be The Commonwealth or Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

You are welcome, and thanks for considering it.

Thanks for the explanation! I will consider changing it to "Dakkhin".

The word "Deccan" is an English corruption of late medieval Indian word "Dakkhin", which is a colloquial, abbreviated form of the original word "Dakshinapath".

"Dakshinapath" is the region of India that covers entire south. Just as "Uttarapath" is the region of the north, "Prashi/Purvanchal" is the region of the east and so on. So yes, Dakshinapath is the real name of "Deccan" empire/area in the game. :)

"Dakshina" (works without the "a" in the end too) simply means 'south' in Indian languages, so that would be weird for a name of an empire.

The abbreviation "Dakshinapathi" would work. Or if you decide to use the name "Dakkhin" instead, it would be "Dakkhini".

Either way, it is up to you to change it.

@Priyon, can you elaborate? I believe Paradox named it after the Deccan Plateau.

Dakshinapath is a bit too long for me. Would Dakshina be enough? And, what would the adjective be?

Deccan should really be Dakshinapath unless owned by a non-Indian. Paradox made a rookie mistake there, really. :)
