Thank you, Axalon, for your feedback. I agree with you for the most part but then again don't you think that "Kataphraktoi" has a better impact on your ears than, say, Byzantine Cavalry ? I will probably take the middle road here, using a mixture of generic names, e.g English Sergeants, and more creative ones, e.g Chevaliers, etc. Now time for more screenies!

In the first one you see Italian Sergeants:

In the second, you see Armenian infantry to the right fighting Spearmen and Genoese Swordsmen to the left:
