Troops Translated

[locoace3]

No not the names, i was thinking about this when i was watching the fighting between my Hastati and some Germanic levies, when they broke, they always yell something along the lines of "Thelokenes" which is probably heavily butchered, but what does it mean? I know it means something along the lines of "retreat!" but where do you find the words someone would yell in old Germanic? I doubt there are many manuscripts on what the troops screamed when they ran from the battle like panzys

I'll take a running jump at this part and say the EB team have used reconstructed languages for many of EB's factions.
