Given the fact that we now have a city of the same name in Greece, I think there is a need to differentiate those that is from Thebes, Egypt or Thebes, Greece. I guess the difference is the fact that the city in Egypt is not a city-state by its own unlike the one in Greece. But I don't think we can exactly use the category "Thebans (Egypt)" and "Thebans (Greece)" since it looks kinda sloppy. I have discussed this with Sol Pacificus on Discord before, and we did come with suggestions such as "People from Thebes, Egypt" and "People from Thebes, Greece". It looks kinda inconsistent given with what we currently have right now, but we wanna know where you guys think about it. XOdeyssusx (talk) 09:33, October 30, 2018 (UTC)

I think the same thing must be do for Philadelphians( Egypt and USA) and we could make a différentiation between Romans, citizens from the Roman Republics, and the Romans, resident of Rome like at the time of Renaissance.Francesco75 (talk) 11:04, October 30, 2018 (UTC)

I agree with Francesco: 'Thebans' is just one 'problem'. In regards to them, I'd be tempted to call the Greek Thebans 'Thebans', and differentiate the Egyptians somehow, given that 'Thebes' is a Greek term for the ancient Egyptian site (Thebes of a Thousand Gates vs. the Boeotian Thebes of Seven Gates), but that's just me. Greek Thebans and Egyptian Thebans? Sadelyrate (siniath) 11:40, October 30, 2018 (UTC)

I did thought of the idea to use Greek Thebans and Egyptian Thebans, but it wouldn't be wise to include Ethnic Greeks who live in Thebes, Egypt since the term seems to lean towards ethnicity rather than nationality or Residency. Wikipedia did use Thebans purely for those from Thebes, Greece as you can see over here, with the exception for one. XOdeyssusx (talk) 12:32, October 30, 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia's use of the term seems to be pretty much because there are still people living in Thebes, Greek, while Thebes, Egypt is largely non-inhabited these days. Sadelyrate (siniath) 12:53, October 30, 2018 (UTC)

Does the term Waset ever get use in game for Thebes, Egypt? That’s the Egyptian name and I say we use that and a demonym variant of it. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 15:36, October 30, 2018 (UTC)

We do have, attested, the Waset Desert. Otherwise, that seems to be a no, though I've yet to comb through all of that particular DLC. Sadelyrate (siniath) 07:51, October 31, 2018 (UTC)

I think some of the Legendary weapons from that DLC also say Waset but either way I don’t know the declension to make Waset a demonym. Waseti? Wasetian? Residents of Waset? Lacrossedeamon (talk) 08:15, October 31, 2018 (UTC)
