The cities of Ur and Uruk were both part of the Seleucid empire, but they had their heyday long before that.

Some cities in the Mauryan Empire sart with U in Latin script: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2c/Maurya_Empire%2C_c.250_BCE_2.png Udegolam: famous for the minor edict of the emperor Ashoka found in the village. Ujjain: An ancient city situated on the eastern bank of the Kshipra River, Ujjain was the most prominent city on the Malwa plateau of central India for much of its history. It emerged as the political centre of central India around 600 BCE. It was the capital of the ancient Avanti kingdom, one of the sixteen mahajanapadas. It remained an important political, commercial and cultural centre of central India until early 19th century, when the British administrators decided to develop Indore as an alternative to it. Ujjain continues to be an important place of pilgrimage for Shaivites, Vaishnavites and followers of Shakta.[2] ... In the Mauryan period, Ujjain remained the administrative centre of the region. From this period, Northern Black Polished Ware, copper coins, terracotta ring wells and ivory seals with Brahmi text have been excavated.[8] During the reign of his father Bindusara, Ashoka served as the viceroy of Ujjain.[11] Ujjain was subsequently controlled by a number of empires and dynasties, including the Shungas, the Western Satraps, the Satavahanas, the Guptas and the Paramara. The Paramaras shifted the region's capital from Ujjain to Dhar.[6]

You started your original post with "This post is about the name game." So, how about " The name game" as a thread title?

The drops dp look a bit weird - maybe they're curving in the wrong direction? One would assume that the liquid would flow down before starting to drip, not up.

Maybe best archive this thread and repace it with a new one containing up-to-date instructions?

Also, give the section a non-techy name, e.g. "Get more civilizations". There was a discussion at Battle for Wesnoth recently about users not using the "Add-ons" button. Of course, not all mods are civilization packs, but that's the general idea.

It is nice and crisp now - I think it looks too dark though. Probably best grab a few icons and position them around the icon you're working on to make the brigtness/contrast/saturation click?

I agree - the maps could have tags added to them to signal which victory conditions they support for those victory conditions that are potentially unsuitable for some maps.

I linked to on Facebook. The link itself is working, but the Facebook preview says: 400 Bad request

This is actually not an argument for or against - a word can have more than one maning. For example, you can dance at a "ball" or throw it.

You can use any software you want to create the textures. It's best to deliver the content in a free format though - png will do nicely in this case.

There are 212 translatable strings that use the word "bonus", so it is conceivable that we will need a term. Some term ideas: deduction handicap

@Orpheuis: The best way to get something added to a FLOSS project is to help making it. Simply demanding something will get you nowhere, because developing anything at all will take a long time. If adding the Tracians is that important to you, prove it by helping to create them. Once you have a working Mod, we can take it from there.

Actually, they are both Latin words. While "malus" is pretty uncommon, it is not unheard of: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/malus I just don't like "penalty", but I can't come up with anything better either at the moment.

According to that source, Brihent would be appropriate for a single unit, and Brihentin for cavalry in general (singular vs. plural/mass noun).

Then bonus is also not a real English word... a penalty is something one gets after having done something wrong, so I don't think that it would be more appropriate than malus. deduction?

I think if we wait for all translations to be 100% confirmed correct, we will never finish the voices. If a phrase or 2 needs fixing and the original voice actor isn't available anymore, having different voices is not a problem IMO.

Maybe a rolling autosave would be nice here, e.g. have the latest 5-10 saves available?

I think using actual Gallic will be very difficult, because we only have a few fragments for it. I think using Gaelic as substitute for Brythonic and Brythonic as substitute for Gallic would work. I'll dig up the translations and have a go at recording them with a mix of Scottich and Irish accent.

I can only do modern Scottish Gaelic. We did ask somebody to translate into Goidelic one though, it's somewhere on the general voices thread.

Sorry, I don't speak ancient languages at all.

Also have a look at

Tölt is NOT trot, and only a few horse breeds can do it. The German word for trot is "Trab" or "traben". English for Tölt is "pace".

Welcome and good luck with your course
