If I could, I would change:
Britons--->Saxons
Persians---->Babylonians
Turks---->Romans
Byzantines--->Greeks
Saracens---->Egyptians
Mayans---->Atlanteans



I would make the game more ancient-like. I wonder if it's possible to change the civilizations names like that using a 3rd-party application.

But the Romans weren't Turks and the Saracens weren't Egyptian.

Yes, I know but what else would replace them?

The game is for the Middle Ages so changing the names for ancient peoples is not a good idea for me. BUT there are civs to be added such as Bulgaria which was a large and influential Empire during the Middle Ages

but why replace them then??????? just for the sake of changing them?

I would want this game to be more ancient-like and maybe because I am bored.

go go ancient egyptions with hand cannoneers.

in all honesty, i quite like the idea of an aoe1 civs/style with the aoe2 interface. but i don't think aoe2 is suited to just porting it straight over via a few name changes. becasue AFAIK ancient egyptions didn't build trebuchets either.

LoL if its set further back then all the technology wouldnt exist if you are going to be realistic. Only infantry, archers, cavalry may exist, but forget stuff like Castles and cannoneers and siege weapons
