'Greek' fire?

Just wanting to point out a minor detail, in one of your screenshots, the alchemy description mentions "greek" fire. But isn't AoD set in a fictional world, a world which should never have heard of the greeks? Maybe call it Everburning Fire, or Consuming Fire or something?

"Greek Fire" seems just fine to me. I doubt that the characters in the AoD setting are presumed to be speaking English either, but the game is in English for the sake of communicating content to its audience. So "Greek Fire" could be regarded as an efficient translation of whatever it would be called in AoD's native tongue. It gets the point across and is sufficiently atmospheric.

No one knows exactly what was used, though we can replicate the supposed results any number of ways.

The most probable was a mixture of pitch and sulfer. Regardless, it was widely available to anyone who had the knowledge of how to make it.

Call it whatever you like. I certainly won't cry over the name of a weapon because it doesn't go by fantasy conventions....whatever they are.
