The Age of Romans : A Romani VIDEO AAR Series
The EB Documentary Theater
You could use for your AAR the title of PAVEL TER (the perfect emperor), title achieved by Burebista (He ruled between 82 BC and 44 BC-is widely considered to be the greatest king of Dacia).
Sarmis Vasil is an inscription from some dacian coins from the time of Burebista.
About the names in the game - no dacian words left for EB team to use and to make a research , I am shure isn't possible because there should be a cooperation between EB team and some romanian linguists (keepers of old dacian language).
Vasil=Basil meaning king
basil,basileos,basileus,vasil=ruler,king but SARMIS I don't know what means .![]()
By the way dacians weren't "barbarians": http://dacia.org/Dacian_Virtual_Muse...al_museum.html
Dacians or Getais here are ,as you guys noticed and im happy you did, not barbarians, they are somewhat a unique kind of civilisation.
It includes helenic and celtic ways of life and warfare with traditional dacian ways.
The army is the best place to look for this things
example:
you all know the falx as the traditional weapon of the dacians and its use in battle.
the dacians had all their weapons shaped like the falx(swords that is)
In the south east of modernday Romania they were in close range with the greek colonies on the coastline and they combined the warfare style of the greek with traditional dacians, they made up somekind of phalanx type of formations that was also good to fight as elite infantry.
The same goes to the north-west but there the relations were not with greeks but with celts.Good swordcrafters, the dacians swords falxes and spear tips were renowned in tha tperiod for beeing able to cut a man in half (the falx) with a single blow or pierce roman armour(this was written in the era of Traianus Dacicus and Decebalus(Diurpaneus) after the defeat of Cornelius Fuscus and his Legions in Dacia)
the Dacians archers were by no doubt the best archers in Europe,they developed the bow for centurys and were masters of it both on foot and on horseback.Romans found this out on their own skin when they followed an army of Getians into a forest and got ambushed from every side.
There is a phrase that exists even nowdays:
The forest is brother to the Romanian - because a lot of the victories were won there and when an army passed trough the land people found cover into the deep woods :)
The best tactic for dacians - the ambush
waves of arrows followed by a massive charge with fanatic warcryes were enough to frighten anyone.

yes, i know this very well. thats why im going to be increasing the attack of all falx-holding units by 3 (to show that those falxes were much more powerful than they are shown in the game, but im not sure if 3 is the correct number- 2 seems more correct), and increasing the attack of the elite skirmishers by 1, b/c of their huge swords), and the range of dacian bows by 2. makes sense to me....Originally Posted by Gebeleisis
in addition, i personally modded every unit (that i saw fit) to accurately represent their attack and defense numbers. ex: the triballi infantry have a huge shield, so their defense for shield is 4, the elite skirms are 3(may change it to 4- im not sure)
what do you people think of my decision?

careful with all the bumps, the getic infantry are already some of the best in the game!
