    Default Satres, Diazenis, Rhesus et al

    I know these guys are there for gameplay purposes, but is there perhaps any historical evidence that their provinces were particularly independent and troublesome to conquer/hold? I know that a few of these provinces are way out of anyone's way, but how about Noricum and Mrogbonna, at least?

    I love that name. Bo-ee-ee.
    It took me a long time to learn how to pronounce the ee-ee properly.

    Outta random curiosity: I know Noricum was a fairly big shot, but was it IRL a separate bunch from the Boii ?

    Is Boii the native name? Or the Latin name for that particular tribal grouping.

    Given the spelling of the plural, I would say it is Latin, like Arvernus/Arverni.

    Mind, I have never seen, "Boius" or, "Boium" ever written in any text - yet I have not seen many writings on the Boii in any case.

    @Glenn

    It would seem to me that "Boius" would mean a male member of the Boii tribe.

    But yeah, I don't suppose you'd see that written. Maybe that stems from the fact that Roman historians tended not to talk about individual barbarian tribesmen unless they were of particular nuisance to Rome.

    Exactly, but I don't know if it would necessarily mean a male..

    I haven't seen the term, "Boia", or, "Gallia", used to describe a female tribal member - however I have at least seen, "Gallus" and, "Gallum".
    But perhaps this is because women aren't mentioned in that manner in historical texts, and most are given names in any case.

    I love this language! I am really enjoying the discovery of structure and it's relativity to English, and all Western languages.

    IIRC, they would be Bononia...
