This inspiration carries over to the use of Greek-inspired names for imperial pawns, similar Greek and Latin inpsiration for their settlements and their use of term Cataphracts for their [[Cataphract armor|heavily armored]] elite forces. Janissaries, conversely, are Ottoman in origin. The Ottomans were, in part, a successor to the Eastern Roman Empire. This is partially confirmed by the above quote from Tynan. |
