So from the very first time I opened the game (EA) I was saddened that the naming was not very consistent.. at all.
I will use the Empire Culture as an example: (I mostly focuses on the Empire culture, haven't looked properly at others yet)
This is clearly based on Byzantine Era - with a hint of Fantasy spelling. Except its too random.
There are so many variable endings that take the Cultural Immersion out of it. It doesn't feel real.
Like many of the Cities in the game has Os-endings, Ys-endings, Is-endings, On-endings, and even some Um-endings (Like Roman Cities). And the naming of Characters are also like this.
It sounds very fantasy - great! except it doesn't feel real. Not in a medieval sense.
I suggest removing some of the endings. and keeping a few consistent ones. Keep Os-endings (Calradicos, Thorios), Keep A-endings (Ortysia, Onica) and MAYBE keep 1 more. Remove all others. Its too inconsistent and removes the thought that this could be a real civilization.
A few cities examples:
Amitatys - Amitatos
Oristocorys - Oristocoros
Bergum - Bergos/Bergia
Sestadeim - Sestados/Sestadia
A few characters:
Lucon - Lucos
Penton - Pentos
Pharon - Pharos
- You could keep On-endings really, since there are alot of them and they kinda feel Fantasy. But then you got to remove others like Um, Rys, Tys, Ia, Ea.
Am I the only one bothered by this? Planning to make a mod that removes/renames the cities and characters and make them feel more consistent/realistic. (by the way, modding in this game is unnececary hard. too many utilities and confusing setup in general.)
