MOD: Civ3 Latin

[Thrawn05]

I've noticed a bug with the new patch and this mod. Don't know why. I've tried to make a new one from the ground up (a quick, few translations in each section). For now I'm continueing to make my mod for 1.21f until I get this fixed. Anyone else who finds that the game crashes when either building a unit or opening a save game (from either 1.21f or 1.29r), please send me your save game on this thread.

I'll post again if I find a solution, until then, all of my latin mods are going to be designed for 1.21f in mind, NOT 1.29f.


Sorry about this, please give my mod a try anyway. I'm going upload either this sat or sun a newer version.

Saltpeter?

This is from dictionary.com

[Middle English salpetre, from Old French, from Medieval Latin slpetrae : Latin sl, salt; see sal- in Indo-European Roots + Latin petrae, genitive of petra, rock (from Greek petr. See per-2 in Indo-European Roots).]

http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=saltpeter

and from www.m-w.com:

Etymology: Middle English salt petre, alteration of salpetre, from Middle French, from Medieval Latin sal petrae, literally, salt of the rock


That help any?

hey thrawn, do you play rome no matter what? and how much are you "in to" them? i was thinking of making a mod so comprehensive that it would make rome the best civ to play.

not making them the only one that could win, but making the game "Rome-oriented". Im not quite sure how to explain this, but if you are at all interested, please respond. I was thiking something along the lines of more Roman unique units, completely redone tech tree, different wonders/improvements, etc. I mean, I NEVER play anyone but the romans, so I might as well make the game into "Roman Civilization." Thats what I was thinking of calling the mod.

Alright, well, if youre interested, write........

BTW, are you really from VC? I was also thinking it would be cool to start a Roman Civ3 clan. But im not sure about it yet, but you seem Roman enough to be down with it.

Version 2.0 is here! And it's 1.29f ready. Fix a little bug, by reworking the entire thing by scratch.


I included a text file that lists a bunch of translations for the units. This will be the last update unless someone found and error or suggests a correction. I'm gonna try to work on my other mods now. Roma Victor!

yes I always play as Rome (as a confession, the Babs once). I took a european map and trying right now to basicly copy my geographic explorer's Roman Empire map I have into Civ3, basicly a single civ game. Just protect the boarders and such from barbarians. I have to find who made the map for permission to release it and to further it.

No, I don't live in VC, I'm in the US, but since I'm all for the Roman Empire and Catholic... what the hell. I was going to do Irish (Since I'm Irish), but they didn't have one that DIDN'T have the orange in it .

[Barfus]

haha, like one with just the green field and then the gold harp? yeah, screw those protestant traitors. actually, im not catholic personally, but if i WAS to pick something, and being as i love rome and all....well, anyway....im still working on that mod, so if youre interested...and what map is that exactly? can you get it off national geographics website?

I'm botched the my map to hell, so you're our only hope. The map I used came from a NG magazine I got a few years ago, I'm not sure if you can get it off of their website.

The map is called:

Great Peoples Of The Past: The Romans

It was printed in July of 1997

The large map on the one site shows Rome at it's hight during the years 69 - 138 AD, when Rome aquired Dracia and much of the Black Sea as well as reaching the Persian Gulf. It shows you the roads, cities, and resources from each area.

It also has smaller maps of each of the different periods of Roman history.

Hope this was of some help.

As for me, and the fact that several of my other mods in limbo do to my lack of artisic abilitys/software and the limitations with the Civ3 engine, there is not much I can do expect place cities and units and playtest. If you need those two, give me a buzz.

[Barfus]

alright, lmme see what i can do. im working on some roman AH fiction right now, osim kind of busy....lots of projects..too many on the back burner

Same here, once somebody tells me how to fix my AvP mod, then I'll be kicking off with that.

I also have lots of ideas for other people such as the guys working on a Star Wars mod... I just have to stop being lazy and contact them.

[Barfus]

thats funny....if i had any time id probably be working on a star wars mod...astonishingly similar interests, n'est pas?

From what I understand, someone is trying to make a battleground type game for Civ3 (yuk). I was thinking of more of a Rebellion type Civ3 game. I've been toying around with a map.

[Barfus]

well, whatever you come u pwith will surely be interesting. but, for now, i must sleep, so as to work on my AH novel tomorrow. ROMA INVICTA!!!

[Thrawn05]

General FYI

I'll be making another update by the end of this month (august 2002). The reason is I that's I'm fixing some translations and adding some new names.


As a reminder I ask people for suggestions to the translations.

I'm also considering additional civs, such as Carthage and Gaul. However, I will have to find pictures of their leaders, and most likely they will be still images (although I'm bad at animation, I can convert images to *.flc format).

Hoc magnum est. Tamen, unus casus est. "Romanus" singularis est-- "Romani" (aut "Romanes" ) Romanis tersum nomen est.
