Help with upcomming Hayasdan AAR.

Its great that you want to start an AAR with Armenia, but I dont know what you mean by "Persian" even though there defenitly are cultural and administrative similarites, Armenians are an entirely diffrent ethnic group with a diffrent language, and culture.

You'll just have to wait for AtB before you can have Persians.

I'm sorry artavazd, I see now that I was a bit vague about what I meant. I meant that before I played EB I was interested in history, but didn't knew very much about it, but I was a big fan of the whole "Persian" empire (Wich I now understand is divided into several different eras and epochs, ruling families/dynasties etc) and I'm glad that I can play a faction whose faction objectives is to rule the empire that the Achaemenid ruled before Megas Alexandros conquered it, and who "feels" and have alot of similarities with the old Achaemenid empire.

About when the AAR is comming, of that I am not sure. I'm currently reading up on details, gathering alot of info etc so that I can include alot of details to make the AAR more living. Sources as to where I can read more about the Orontid Dynasty etc would be greatly appreciated. But I'd dare say 2-3 weeks from now the first installment should be here. But dont hold me by that .

Thanks a bunch artavazd! Really appreciate your help! Also dug up this site here. Seems to have some interesting information, but dont know how up to date it is, but I think I'll use the "history" part of it and religion-part. Seems accurate enough, no?

My classmate had told me briefly about Haik's story back when we were... 14 I think.

So, when you use Armenian as a noun you say Hai; but for the adjective you go Haikakan, correct?

Then, would Armenian King be Haikakan Arqa? And How would you say Takavor of Kilikia (Medieval era)?

Sorry for hijacking the thread mates.

It is kind of difficult to explain. Hai Arqah/Arkah means Armenian king, as in the king is Armenian. Haikakan Arqah/Arkah rougly translates to something like Armenian made king. if that makes sense??

When refering to people we use Hai. Armenian person= Hai mart Armenian woman= Hai kin


but for example Armenian kingdom= Haikakan Arkautsiun , Armenian wine= Haikakan gini




Arqah/ Arkah and Takavor/Tagavor both mean king. Takavor/Tagavor came about in the middle ages during the Bagratuni era. The word is a compound. Tak/Tag means crown so Takavor/tagavor translates to crown bearer which has the meaning of king.


So king of Kilikia if we are using Takavor/Tagavor would be Kilikiai Tagavor
