Ukrainian provinces name change.

In the English version of the game the provinces are usually named with the English name that customary for the time. If they're written in Russian are you perhaps playing on the Russian server or where you talking about the english writting in the wrong translation if such then the above is the reason. Also don't forget in WWI Ukraine was part of the Russian Empire So it does make more sense then you'd think.

I mean, you can play as an independent Ukrainian state Hetman (talking about the great war scenario, i'm at the wrong forum then, ain't i?), I've thought that's idependent enough to have our own names.


And yes, I was talking about the english writing.

yes but customary for the time, at the time(1914) it was a Russian province. So most likely the British used the Russian names at the time

I've personally noticed that many names of foreign locations and even foreign leaders have been written in-game as their German equivalents. For example, the leader of 'Communist Russia' is identified in-game as 'Wladimir Iljitsch Lenin", the city of Lviv is identified as "Lemberg", and etc.

This could either be a reference to the fact that many regions of Poland and/or Ukraine were under Austro-Hungarian rule at the beginning of the war, or this could've simply stemmed from the fact that the game developers are German.

There are lots of examples of things that don't make sense, and not just in Eastern Europe. The Canadian territories are completely wrong. By 1914 every modern day province had been created, which means their leaders were premiers, not governors.

I think some things like that need to be taken with a grain of salt and not as historical fact
