As i posted the same topic in Europa Barbarorum II forum

Ill start with mentioning all respect and appreciation i have for the original EB team and the EB II team.

I appreciate the amazing work of art you have done,the following is not a criticism per se, its a suggestion or clarification.

As far as my understanding goes, EB strives to give voice to the different and often negated non-roman civilizations, and they have succeeded at that.

Now as far as the naming of sarmatians go, i do think its consistent with the goal of the development team that they be named as they chose, and not as they were called by the greeks and romans,

As far as ancient iranian sources go , there seems to be a name that corresponds to the sarmatians in the avesta, and later in the persian work of shahnameh

Sairima in Avestan language, and Salm in persian shahnameh
