Hmmm...

I have some friends who can not read English but often ask me "What is that unit?"(In native language,of course).
But I individually also find it difficult to catch up meaning of the new words from Progress Log. Don't meantion google and wiki...

Then usually I can only answer "God knows it"(God=KO...)

This problem appears to be more seriou these days... (To be honest, I can still not spell the units name from Lanka without opening the game)

Maybe one day I will suggest illwinter releasing a Dominions Dictionary(or as part of the upgraded manual...)

I find it interesting that Gath (MA, LA) and Acha units and commanders have names that have significance in hebrew, coming from bible and ancient israelite myths. For sure, they are not pure israelite, I can recognize some influence of ancient myths of nations long past (philishtites, moibites and more) but since the myths overlap it makes no real difference in the sense of familiarity to me.

I'm really looking forward to these nations' as they have a close bearing on my nations origins.

Thank you IW for going to such lengths to learn the history and myths of this region in ancient middle east and reflecting them in the (already very) rich world of dominions.

Oh, and I hope IW will add angels as summons to one or more of them, after all angel myths started in this area in this time (well actually they have early roots in Zoroastrianism )
