      We are Spanish. We are not Squidania, and nice as the thought of Calamaria is, we are not that either. We are Spanairds. Why can we not accept that?

        Ok -- there are still one or two blanks here where there doesn't seem to be a consensus.

        Civ : Spain
        Name of Civ : España
        Noun : * Will go grab my Spanish-English dictionary and try to figure this out later *
        Adjective : * Will go grab my Spanish-English dictionary and try to figure this out later *
        Title of the leader : Señor(a) – Do we need the ‘a’ considering we have no girls, and the masculine forum is the default anyway? (For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, feel free to ignore my rambling)
        Name of the leader : ?
        Colour : [Normal Spanish Color]

        Also, does anyone know if accents and ñs work in Civ3-PTW? Do any of the City-names or leaders use them or anything (or could someone start a game and try it )? If they do, we can ask whoever sets up the game to copy-paste our selections in and see if they come out right; if not, we should probably just avoid the trouble.

          OOC

          I just tried it - worked fine.

          I modified the Spanish Title to Señor and started a game. It appeared properly in the game setup, and in the diplomacy screen in-game.

          The funny thing was that Señor Togas picture was a woman!

            [some weird mix of OCC and RP ]

            . Awsome -- and thanks . (I'd have done it myself, but am still lacking PTW -- and considering the reviews, don't know if I'll be making the plunge anytime soon ). When you did that, did you enter the name directly into the screen, or copied the word Señor from a different window and pasted it in there?

            Anyway, any suggestions for the Name of Leader?
            /me looks both ways for Torquemada, then says...
            Togas might not be leader forever, though I'd have no objection to his glorious rule lasting for all of eternity! More importantly, I don't know if he wants his name to go into the in-game setup screen or not -- and we can't wait until he's gotten back and the game's started to find out . Any suggestions for some neutral compromise?

            EDIT: Or can someone point me to a place where he's commented on the issue? Also, who's playing the game tomorrow? Is GK doing it?

              What about this?

              Name of civ: España (Spain)
              Noun: Españoles (Spanish, the Spanish people)
              Adjective: Español (Spanish, an Spanish meal)
              Leader: Rey (King, since even the actual spain has a king)
              Colour: Red (The colour of the spanish sport teams)

                Oliverfa,
                I quite like the idea of 'Rey' instead of Senor'.

                The decision was already made (by Togas) to go with Spain's default color rather than change it.

                I don't know enough Spanish to comment on the Noun/Adjective forms (I'm trying to learn, but not that good at vocab. yet), but if no one else has anything, then let's go with it .

                  Greetings from my vacation.

                  Good thing I dropped in check on the progress of the game. Here's what I'd like the settings to be:


                  Civ : Spain
                  Name of Civ : España
                  Noun : Spanish
                  Adjective : Spanish
                  Title of Leader: El Rey (Reya? If the title will always be used before the leader's name, go with female form. It the title will be used separately, let's go with male form.)
                  Name of the Leader : Isabella (We're going to be stuck with her picture, so we may as well use her name)
                  Colour : [Normal Spanish Color]

                  I'll check my email again tomorrow before I head back home, so you can PM me with any urgent business and I'll see it and be able to respond.

                  Be back shortly.

                    YESSS!

                    You have NO CLUE how happy I am that you wondered in Togas .

                    I'll make sure all this information is entered into the game .

                    -- adaMada

                    EDIT: Can anyone tell me if we need to use Ray or Raya? I'm going to assume Raya for now, since that makes more sense (so something's submitted if the game is set up early) -- but I'd like to know from someone what it's used for who's got PTW . -- ada

                          Ok -- fixed in the main post . Thanks again Oliverfa .

                          Everyone: Can anyone tell me if we should use Rey or Reina (based on Togas' criteria above).

                            adaMada: The title and picture appear together in the Foreign Advisor screen. So I guess Togas is in favour of Reina.
