[keravnos]

Whyy don't barbarians say what they are? When I was playing Koinon Hellenon the Unit would respond when I click on them, barabarian don't dio this,why?

The funny thing about your observation, is that what barbarians are is really dependent on the eyes of the beholder.

For example, the Indians consider Baktrians, Sakae, Parthians, Kushanas and all other factions which invaded and stayed in India, Barbarians. They consider Mauryans their first great dynasty, which unified India, and then Guptas. The inter-regnum between those two is their "dark period aka 186BCE-390CE" when the above 4 foreign invaders roamed free in western and central India.

"According to the Brihat-Katha-Manjari of the Kashmiri Pandit Kshmendra, king Vikramaditya (Chandragupta II) had "unburdened the sacred earth of the Barbarians like the Shakas (Saka Rauka), Mlecchas, Kambojas (Iranian tribe which helped both Greeks and Saka in their conquest of India), Yavanas (Greeks), Tusharas (Tokhars=Kushanas), Parasikas, Hunas (Epthalite Huns), etc. by annihilating these Mlecchas completely."

So, really, who is considered Barbarian is really in the eyes of the one getting raided. In most cases those barbarians did something right...
