Are you somehow implying that the original language was that of which person?

OK, I'm sure what this means and in what language is it, but I'm not quite sure it is very relevant to Civ 3 and has to be here.Solver, WePlayCiv Co-Administrator

I wouldn't say this is common knowledge. Maybe some of you know Latin or have studied history that thoroughly, but not all people have.Comment

Markos, if I start speaking a mix of Latvian and Greek, what would you say. Let's rename the staff room to domatios tabalidon, for instance

'Alea iacta est' is Latin for 'The die is cast' which has to do with today's Trivia Question. That is Civ3-related.Originally posted by MarkG

ok,for those who don't know what or where:It's latin and can be translated to 'the die is cast'.
Since I thought this was one of those quotes every-one knew,so the translating is rediculous.(but I seem to be wrong)
MarkG:why I've put it up here?Because this is the place where all rant about their frustrations about civ3 and the official site.
(I don't think there are any in the OT forum)
I don't care about that,I just find it frustrating that they don't use the Latin(maybe with translation next to it),like I said,I thought it was basic knowledge(for anyone who has ever had some history or latin),but seems not to be so.Well ok... it's only 10 points...
