BONUS!

Ok, I goofed, I already have Gauls.

However, here are some things I want to do to this mod to make it better.

First, I would like to change the leaders to those who were in power in the time of the Roman Empire.

Also, I've been tinkering with the sounds for many of the early units such as Warriors, Archers, and Legionarys. Mostly taking sounds from the movie Gladiator and replacing the ones in the game.

However, I still need to work out the timing, since they play too fast (I have the right audio quality).


Below is an up to date list of units and their Latin names. I know I provided one with the game, but this one will be easier to maintan and I won't have to keep uploading text files.


And remember: "There is always someone else to fight."

hi ,

, 100% pure latin , seems

say , where is the Greek one , ....

have a nice day

[Hagbart]

Does bellum means war?

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Yes, yes it does.

[jsw363]

IIRC, a quick grammatical point regarding Elephantus bellum:

I would have translated it either Elephantus bellicus or Elephantus bello.
One is "War (adj. nominative) Elephant" and the other is "Elephant of War" (dative of purpose).

Your translation is War (noun) Elephant (noun), which doesn't really make sense to me, but of course my Latin is a bit rusty. It would be helpful just for me if you'd explain your rationale.

Also, a more common word for elephant is barrus, or barrinus.

This was just the example that I chose, but I think that some of your other translations might face similar issues.

[Thrawn05]

This is why I asked for help. Thank you. My ending are rusty as well.


I made some spelling errors, particularly with the Russians. So I will change it and upload a new version ASAP tomorrow (which will be 08/27/2002). Your suggestions will be added in it as well.

[Thrawn05]

A notice about chaning unit names. I found that changing the Worker, Settler, Army, Leader units tends to make the game crash every now and then for me. I don't know about anyone else, but be forwarned.


Just a reminder:
Always remember to find some extra HD space and just make back up copies of all the units (if you have a CDR drive, burn them). This will make fixing mistakes if you didn't copy the folder first and then rename the copy. I learned this the hard way.

What about F-15? The other name is a little long and strange.

Why am I writing this? I can't understand latin!
