They sound very nice, I especially like Shophet and Melumad.

Great!
Interesting bit of information: I tried translating Militia to hebrew using an online dictionary, and apparently, no such word exists in hebrew O: (we have "Militsia", I'm sure you can spot the amazing differences)
So much for translating all units into hebrew...
I guess Shophet and Melumad will have to do... And "Sar Milhama" as well (singular of "Sarei Milhama").
Concerning Temple Keepers, I thought you meant the elite holy troops I called "Temple Guards", but now I understand you meant it as a new commander unit.
In which case Temple Keeper actually sounds nice. Other possibilities include Keeper of Holyness or Meshamer Kodesh (=Preserver of sanctity)

What should the nation be called in the game BTW? And what should the starting spell(s) be?

Name?
Probably something simple, like Rome<=>Ermor.
Israel<=>Sar'el/Sar Elad/Aelsar/Aersal/Aerlas/Elar Sad, maybe Kna'an<=>Kan/Kannan?
Or maybe something symbolic?
Atika(=ancient) / Kduma(=ancient) / Kadmun(=ancient ) ?


And on the issue of sprites, I don't know how you plan on doing them (:P) but no matter what, I think you should make them four times the size they are going to be in Dom2, because it is evident that Dom3 units will be x4 the size dom2 units are, so we should keep high quality originals for when Dom3 comes out and use a rezoomed version for Dom2. (x4 = Widthx2 Heightx2)

Sar Elad sounds good.

EDIT: What about the starting spells?

EDIT2: What nation should Sar Elad replace? My vote is on Arco.

Tien Chi seems like the closest match as far as spell paths go, so either that or Arco or Pyth.

EDIT: As for spells, I really don't know :\
My bet is on classic miracle-like spells, so probably something Evocationy.
Either that or some scrying-revelation spell, something Thaumatuargy

Hmmm, maybe the Communion spells and Mist? Or Star Fires/Solar Rays and Mist?
