Aegis pronunciation
Not to be too critical of this outstanding mod, but there is a glaring mispronunciation of the word 'Aegis':

it's 'EEjis', not 'AAjis'.

Thanks again to the Devs for this GREAT mod! :approve::exclamation:

pretty sure they say ay-Gis not ay-Jis in the first place, and secondly why would it be ee? that makes no sense

Look it up.

Edit: (you are correct, though, in that they pronounce it with a 'g' sound and not a 'j'. Just noticed this in a subsequent playthru. But, still wrong, nonetheless...)

I always thought Aegis was Ay-gis not Ay-jis. You know what Aegis means right ? The actual word and not the game antagonist ?

ae·gis ˈējis/ <<==== noun noun: aegis the protection, backing, or support of a particular person or organization. "negotiations were conducted under the aegis of the UN" synonyms: protection, backing, support, patronage, sponsorship, charge, care, guidance, control, guardianship, trusteeship, agency, safeguarding, shelter, umbrella, aid, assistance; auspices

Hence, the reason the final boss in PS: Mel is named "Aegis".............

Read this page. Discuss pronunciation and how it doesn't matter as long as we all understand what you're talking about.

I have trouble pronouncing Aegis, is it Ay-gis? I could try using "Holy Shield" instead, but then it becomes something else.
