Changing Turkish Province names to Greek

[Chuckie123]

Can countries like Greece change names of Turkish provinces to Greek? I think Byzantium can if they take all of Turkey but not 2-5 provinces. But what about other countries? Is anything automatic or do they need events as well? Tried making creating Greece this past 2weeks in Vanilla mode but keep getting CTD at various stages; so I'm unsure how far I have to get and what the results will look like.

There's an option for dynamic province names that you can toggle on or off. Of course, the name can only change if there is a name implemented for that province and that culture ; but in the case of Greece, I'm certain there are Greek names for provinces in Greece and Anatolia.

Greek actually has a fairly limited list of dynamic province names, and I don't believe any of them are in Anatolia. You'll have to either form Byzantium and restore the themes, or just rename them all manually.

The byzantine cultural names are weird because they were implemented before dynamic province names, so they only change after completing the appropriate mission.

No,

Anatolia

And no.

The only dynamic province names Greek has are in Crimea, Egypt and Tunis, which is why you get Greek Siroz and Edirne. But that one province in Southern Tunisia definitely needed a dynamic name instead.

That's so weird. Considering how much focus this region has received over the years, and the special place Byzantium has in the community, you'd think this place would be rife with dynamic names...

Is there a byzantine map of eu4 so I can change it manually ? Even if its just a handful of coastal provinces.

You can just get the Rosetta 2.0 mod, which has a large range of cultural names for provinces. Although, it uses events to do so rather than the dynamic province name system.

I would make a bug report with a list of Greek names for the provinces you want to have Greek names.

If this kind of threads get an answer, it's that it is WAY too much work to look up, not to actually implement.

And, as most people before me said already, of course Anatolia needs Greek names in the EU timeframe...
