Some suggestions for German unit names: Rammabagmaz is supposed to be ''ram beam'', but if rammaz meant ram it might just mean the animal and not siege engines in this timeframe (Ram as a siege engine might just be a translation of Latin Aries). https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/rammaz Maybe battering ram could be called Bagmawaldōz (beam wielders) Mangārī is a later Proto-West Germanic word, trade ship could be called Kaupinizbaitaz (merchant's boat) or Saiwikaupô (sea merchant). Note that the word kaupô is a loanword from Latin and might not yet exist in the game's timeline (but so far i could not find any native proto-germanic terms for merchant). Hero specific names: Seeress' specific name is a later Norse word. Could be replaced by haljōrūnō. -

Well currently theyre just bigger wooden walls that hold troops, not really stone walls. The Germans seem to at least have built fortifications in their own homeland before migrating, whatever the walls could be manned i'm not sure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borremose (A fortified village found in a region of Denmark sometimes theorized to be the Cimbrian homeland. It was abandoned in the 2nd century.) -
I think these, along with Walls, should be removed, like with the Spartans, who actually did end building them in the middle of the Hellenistic period.

Some of the German structures lack unique names. I've also found better alternatives for previously suggested ones. Corral: Kurnahūsą(Granary; shared with farmstead) -> Bansaz (cradle, stall, barn) Storehouse: Skattasfriþuz (shelter of riches) -> Banstiz (cradle, barn, storehouse) Outpost: Wallaz Staupilaz (“that which is steep, tower, steeple”) -> Wardo (protection, attention, lookout, watch post) Sentry tower: Staupilaz Defense tower: Warīnīzstaupilaz (defense tower; probably incorrect composite) -> Grautastaupilaz (great tower) Palisade: Tūną (Enclosure, fence. root of the word town). Hagô (enclosure, yard, pasture), Gardô (Hedge, Fence, enclosure, garden, house) Pallisade Gate: Gata Wall Gate: Grautagata (Great gate) Wall Tower: Wallaz Staupilaz -> Wallastaupilaz (just a more correct composite word) Barracks: Druthislegra (War band's camp) -> Druhtīzlegrą (just improved writing) Hailagastadiz (Holy place) -> Alhs (Temple, sanctuary, shelter, settlement) Wagon Camp: Legrą (A place where one lies; camp) Fortified Wagon Camp: Wagnaburgz (wagon fort) Edit: Wonder: Sigigamundiz (Victory memory/commemoration/memorial. Although ideally they'd get a new less generic wonder, possibly based on Hedegaard find). Arsenal: Wēpnasfriþuz (Weapons shelter) -> Wēpnabanstiz (weapon storehouse) Market: Kaupôsmaþlą (Merchant's Gathering. Incorrect composite) -> Kaupanǫ̂legrą (Merchant's camp) * *All Proto-Germanic words for merchant seem to be Latin loan words that might not have existed yet in the game's time period. Althoug there are verbs for selling, buying and trading that might be used for a hypothetical word for someone who engages in those activities. -
