    Default Re: Armenian Ethnicity

    I have something to ask myself. Although I haven't actually played as Hayasdan for more than a few turns, i have noticed some of the units have like:

    Kavakaza Sparabara
    Kovkasi Lernain Netadzik

    Have the "word" Kovkasi and Kavakaza in them. Now im assuming that those two words stand for "Caucasian". My question is if you are using that word the way Armenians use it, or the way Russians do. Because saying Kavakaza and Kovkasi means "the Caucasus" instead of "Caucasian". To say Caucasian you would need to write "Kovkaskiye" or "Kavakazkiye".

    If you are using a different language then I do humbly apologize. I meant no offense if I am write either.

    Cheers to the EB team for doing such a wonderful job.

    why would they use the word the way Russians do?

    thanks, bobbin, that explains. i havent come across that first ethnicity and got an impression that the only description Armenian noble form Hayastan gets was the one that describes him as a Scythian.

    Kovkasi is Armenian for Caucasian. As for Kavakaza, I'd recommend you find out which language that is in before manipulating it.

    This is exactly what I was wondering. I assumed they did do their homework and used a different language. I apologize, but I didnt actually think they were wrong. Thanks for the answer.

    The language used is persian (middle I believe). This is because they are regional, rather than factional units.
