A = without
poly = many
ton = town
thus, Apolyton = "without many town(s)" or "rural".
Just curious, who came up with this forumla?*grumbles about work*Comment

Due to the large number of finns, it should be changed to:
ÄSS = Äärimmäinen (ultimate) Sivilisaatio (civilisation) Sivusto (site)
I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.Comment

Thanks for the many replies! It's a little bad that none of the responders is greek or at least deeply familiar with that language.
apo = 'off' ('offbeat'?)
lytos = 'separated' 'solved'
Only in a very figured sense it can be translated with "ultimate", if at all.

Is that like:
Politics
poly: english preface for 'many'
tics: little things that spread diseases.
?Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?

At first Firaxis wanted to include a town called Civfanatics, but since that doesn't sound very Greek...Originally posted by Grrr

Anyways, the Apolyton question should be answered in the FAQ because it pops up more often than ME threads in the OT...Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin
Once again...Comment
