Although I'm glad the game has moved on from Western Europe + India + China...I'll admit I am not smart enough to keep this stuff straight. And I'm a decently educated guy with diverse co-workers that speak 25+ different languages.

But this game I'm playing, I was fighting the Maharashi Empire and their Changaluskas were getting a bonus on my Noyans which prevented me from capturing the town of Katwanmandu and all their sweet pokpots and the Endo Mitriosis wonder.

But I do remember one thing...

...Keshiks are the ones that go PEW PEW!
 
There are definitely many unknown terms and names for anyone in this game! And I also have trouble to memorize all of them, yet I find it quite nice that my units, civics and buildings have names that evoke the respective culture. Once we have even more civs, there‘s no chance anyone will be able to memorize all the names though, so I think (re-)learning things every game is part of the experience.

On the other hand, I’ve been playing AoE 2 since release, and while I could tell you the effects of most unique techs by heart, I hardly know any of their names (and also that of many other techs). So, maybe it’s not that important for me.
