Btw, it's historically wrong to talk about Greeks.
They're ROMANS!!!
To be fair, Enewald, the Byzantines did start to refer to themselves as Greeks beginning in the 14th century, if memory serves. This as a result of the shrinking size of the empire and its increasing Greekness as Turks, Hungarians, Serbs, Italians, Bulgars and others cut away the non-Greek parts. The Classics were re-appraised and "Hellene" stopped being a byword for pagan, and indeed came to describe Byzantine civilization itself. See this, for instance (Wikipedia, yes, but properly sourced, so legit). EDIT: As the author said.
Though yes, the official term remained Roman and that term remained roughly just as popular as "Hellene" (the current term in Greek) well into the 19th century. The Latins, however, usually called them Greeks. Not Romans. Romans were Germans (can you follow? ).
In any case, nice job with the war against Venice. Something many a real-life Byzantine would loved to have seen
*argument for greekness*
Damnit! Don't convince me to change the name of the AAR again!!
