Historical names

[unmerged(210)]

Once I looked at the screenshots and discovered many provinces in Eastern Europe bear strange names (not mention borders). Having paper-copy of EU I know names for the computer game are taken from there - but shouldn't that be corrected using this great forum?

Hi Andrus,

What names did you think of ? Would be interesting input, I think.

We have changed the layout of eastern europe quite a lot compared to the boardgames.

I once contacted you guys and have even been sent an Eastern Europe map for EU. Have sent my suggestions and never heard back. Anyway. From what I can read the screenshots there is a province of 'Welikia' which means absolutely nothing. Were that 'Vyelkiye Luki' (Russian name) or 'Wielkie Luki' that would actually be more historical.

Can't see more from the screenshots at the site.

This time much better, Andrus. I support you 100 %. Should be Polish or Russian name, I don't care, but what we have now sounds not good. By the way, Andrus, you have corrected every string in some messages, but it is not so easy to transform (not to translate!) NAMES from one language to another. You did mistakes too. Russian name should be not 'Vyielkie Luki' but 'Velikie Luki' and, even better for English-speaker 'Velikiye Luki'

Regards,
Nick
