a few more getai questions

[edyzmedieval]

1) AFAIK, the getai are somewhat barbarian in nature, they are classified as barbarians too (in the game)- so why do they use hellenic names for a lot of units, like their elite skirmishers?

2) whats the word for a leader? in the EB main campaign screen (where you choose your faction to play as) it says "Sarmis Vasil, we are.... then it goes on)
is the word for a king Sarmis Vasil? i want to know this for my AAR..... thanks!

1) Getai were far from being barbarian in nature. They are a very interesting mix of barbaric and hellenic civilisation. Dacian, the language, is somewhat extinct (only about 150 words still are in use today), so Hellenic names have been used for the Getai troops and buildings.

2) Sarmis Vasil was a term used for king, but better off to use Basileus, while the nobles were called Tarabostes.

Hope it helps.

thanks! Sarmis Vasil will be the new name, for the whole idea of the AAR is the idea that the getai need to retain theri heritage......
