I'm trying to mod the names of all the RTW units (well, as many of them as I can) to reflect the actual languages they used, though still not entirely accurate.
But I need some advice on Greek and barbarian...
What should I call the swordsmen/chosens? Are there celtic names for them?
Also, what was the greek word for 1) cavalry, 2) archers, 3) slingers and 4) peltasts? Is the plural -ai or -oi? Because pezhetairoi (the pikemen) and hetairoi (the Companions) are suffixed differently from hoplitai. So I'm confused.
Also, what did the Romans call their own legionnaires? Right now I have been forced to call them 'Hamata legionnaires' and 'Segmentata legionnaires' according to the armour they wear, but there's got to be something more....ethnic.
