The Cimmerians and the Brythuians (sp?) have unite names that are in, to my understanding, Celtic of some sort. Not that there is anything wrong with it, as I like it.

Re: Questions.
Ah, I understand.
Well, the ethnic naming of units is a bit undecided at the moment: on the one hand I think it would add to the immersion to have the unit names in an ethnic tongue consistent with their (fictional) lineage. This is consistent with the canon: Kothic Voivodes, Shemite Asshuri, and the various titles, not to mention the various languages and accents(!) of each country.
I might eventually just have a compromise, with most units with English names for clarity and ease, and the more unique units with exotic names, kind of like in vanilla M2. I just did the Cimmerians and Brythunians in gaelic and welsh because I'm most familiar with those languages, but I would do similar things for other countries for flavour.

Re: Questions.
Totally. Go with ethnic names for the unique units,but clearify the meanings as clearly as you can.
