Anyways, algorithms where actually invented by an Arab. I feel the need the need to point this out because historically in the period that this game appears to be based off of (based off might be too strong) the Arabs where doing a lot better intellectually than the Europeans. I somehow feel that this is not reflected in the game world in any way.

Then again, I am not sure how historical accuracy is supposed to work in a setting with 13 31 day months.
They're actually named after the guy: "Al Khwarizmi", though the magic of transliteration became "Algorithm", which became "algorithm". It honestly isn't even that much of a change by transliteration standards (Avicenna, I'm looking at you).
