    Gldmtg--and I eat that how?
    Seriously, directly transliterating Phoenician/Punic (and anything that uses the same alphabet) is messy.

    Germanic names are fine with me. The nomads are more difficult.

    The Roxolanni made me think of Roxanna.

    I still dunno which is correct phalnax or phalanx. I get the feeling its the latter. I had a similiar problem with cavalry years earlier and I think I still pronounce it incorrectly. Best unit name: Sacred Band.

    Oh and immortals but they're not in EB.
