    Post Question: Are unit names copyrighted?

    Hello, I'm designing my own board game, which will (may?) cover the time span of Rome: Total War/Europa Barbarorum (except the starting date I design to be is 265 BC).

    So that I could avoid ANY and ALL plagiarism, I wanted to run this through you all in the Europa Barbarorum Team first.

    Are the unit names copyrighted? I know they are supposed to be authentic names in their native languages, but I'm a little unsure on this.

    For instance, let's say I want to use these unit names for my board game:

    Lugoae
    Sotaroas
    Gaesatae
    Komatai
    Drapanai
    Rhomphaiaphoroi
    Peltastai
    Pedites Extraordinarii

    etcetera. . . .

    NOTE: I haven't used any of these such unit names yet, at the moment, I'm just using generic names like "Celtic Spearmen," "Scythian Lancers," "Dacian Falxmen," or "Roman Legionary Cohort."

    I look forward to receiving an answer from Team members soon. :)
