Parthia is Persia

well, i am not persia in the game and it is not entirelly correct to call them the same, they have some differences

the partians were a tribe of nomads that grew and conquered persia, yadda yadda yadda...
but, to tell the truth, i think parthia would be more suitable to this map then persia... whatever

Parthia, Persia; Macedonia, Greece; Poh-tayt-oh, Paw-tawt-oh

Sorry Gopher, i may have sounded unpolite with my last message, sorry
but really to call the partians persians (and vice versa) is a bit simplistic, even your exemple of macedonia and greece is a real mess, the macedonians were considered 2nd class greeks (when considered), now the country called macedonia and greece are "disputing" the name

When looking at the map for the game in question, if Macedonia existed as a playable power, we would know that it replaced Greece. And since Persia ruled Egypt as long as it ruled the Levant, Parthia would be a more reasonable choice.

As for the Buenos Aires comment, substituting Rio would be a more comparable example. The statement was about time frame.
