Should be Ironman Compatible

(It is my policy that anyone can use the work I’ve done here, and modify or add it to their own mod, and publish it, though please note the original source.)

The name “Byzantines” to describe the latter half of the Eastern Roman Empire is a tawdry bit of Orientalism introduced by later Northern historians who, for numerous pragmatic reasons, subscribed to condescending ideas of “eastern decadence” as compared to traditional Latin morals, by which they like to measure their own peoples, but I digress.

What this mod does is change the localization of “Byzantium” so it’s map and idea name uses the proper historical and contemporary name of the Greek Romans as they referred to themselves, “Byzantium” becoming “Rhomaioi”, and “Byzantine” becoming “Rhomaio”.

If you Prefer ‘Eastern Roman Empire’, then use this version instead: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1577167701

Because this mod only makes a localization addendum, it should be compatible with any and every other major mod, including Extended Timeline (pictured above) and Beyond Typus.
