Lurkio Late Antique Chinese

I thought I'd posted about this here, but Lurkio recently released a Three Kingdoms to Northern Wei range for China very roughly AD 200-500. Relevant lists include Three Kingdoms and Western Jin, Xianbei and Murong Xianbei, Southern Xiongnu, Jiang and Qi*, Chinese Southern Dynasties, and Chinese Nor...

Another W-G infiltrator in the Xi Xia list: "Shen pi nu" in the final troop-type should be pinyin "Shenbi nu".

Re: Meshwesh minor errors and typos

Similarly, the Later Ming list has "Chuang" for pinyin Zhuang.

The Early list has "Chingwei" guards, which seems to be bad W-G for pinyin Jingwei (which apparently means "Capital Guard").

Re: Meshwesh minor errors and typos

The latter phrase means "Mongol army", and the ethnic name is sometimes given its usual English form in otherwise pinyin contexts - e.g., Nei Mongol instead of Nei M...

Re: Meshwesh minor errors and typos

The Maurikian Byzantine calls all Elite Cav "Boukellarioi". Those were just a small elite, the bulk should be called "Kavallarioi" (so either change the line to "Boukellarioi and Kavallarioi", or break out 0-1 elements as a separate Boukellarioi line).

Re: Meshwesh minor errors and typos

The French Ordonnance list has the half-translation "Francs bowmen" for francs-archers. The untranslated term (with or without hyphen) is IME universal in English-language literature.
