Re: Question About Unit Names
considering the fact that they did not have contingents of single weapon armed soldiers used in specific tactical formations, yeah, there isn't a native word. in this vein, i have drawn from later traditions and generalized (as in common usage, rather than specific oddities) names that are pretty artificial Germanic but less so than all the possible combinations... like 'Rider' which appears in later Ritter(Knight) tradition. the hardest thing is justifying a simplistic and inaccurate RTW system of generic clone units, but we do our best... it's kind of nice to know that civilized nations don't even have recorded names for everything... it's just a sad fact that ancient peoples didn't record their military systems elaborately for the sake of recreation in a video game
