Sorry for topping this ancient thread, but do you still need my help on this or are you too early in the development?
-
Also interesting is that Medieval Islamic architecture was based on the Persian one, with Byzantine influence.
-
Eagerly awaiting that PM.
-
I'd like a list of words/phrases to upload, since I doubt you'll need the sound of all words on the list I gave you.
-
conigio at hotmail.com would be great.
-
That I'm willing to do. Any place I can upload the recordings?
-
I'm willing to help out with pronunciation but not record my own sounds (sucky mic). Who is the voice actor and how can I contact him?

Rguader, asiya is mill in Persian. My terms were in "pure" modern Persian, since anything else would be quite difficult to find. Sanskrit would be closer though, and if you can translate all words into Sanskrit it would be great, but whatever we do we shouldn't mix and use words from both Persian and Sanskrit.
Jangi does not mean soldier. War = Jang or setiz. Pil Jangi = War elephant. The -i suffix is necessary for the grammar in Persian, in this situation. I found some accurate Old Persian names for provinces, better than the ones I gave you before.

If you want to say like, Bactrian spearman, you can say either "neyzedar balkhi" or "neyzedare balkhi" (add an 'e' to the word before or not, your choice)

Some last minute changes, and I chose not to have the accented A's as many of the vowels back in those days would be pronounced differently than today, especially A's, and I have no idea how they were pronounced back then.

No problem, as I said, just fun.

Kashti Dorade = two-rowed ship
Kashti Serade = three-rowed ship
You could just remove the Kashti part if you want, because "trireme" probably just means "threerowed" in latin.
Or you could say:
Kashti Sabok = light ship
Kashti Sangin = heavy ship
But that doesn't sound very good somehow, I recommend the first choice.
Correction from before = stable is âxor
Corral = can't think of any word.. and can't find in any dictionary. Jânvargâh is the best I guess (animal place).
Gate = darvâze
Dock, Port, Harbour = Langargâh
Priest, Magus = mogh
Temple = âtashkade

I'll give you the rest tonight (Swedish tonight
). It would probably also look better to write č, š and ž rather than ch, sh and zh. Now it's quite messy with all those sh combinations. Your choice. -
Acumen, as I said to Wijitmaker I only find it fun to give you these lists. Ask for as many as you want.
Camelry - Shotorsavaran
Cavalry - Aspsavaran
Fishing Boat - kashti mahigiri
Javelinist/Javelineer - zhupinandaz or zhupindar
Lancer - This would have the same name as spearman.. so I have to think of something else. Maybe we could name one of them "aspkosh", meaning "horsekiller".
Merchantman - bazargan
Trade - bazargani
Trade ship - kashti bazargani
Transport ship - kashti kasbar
Swordsman - shamshirdar
Cappadocian (made a mistake last time) - Kappadoki
Babylonian - Babirui
Cilician - Silisi
Cypriad - Kebresi
Median - mad (language = madi)
Persian - pars (language = parsi)
Phoenician - fenisi
Zoroastrian - zartoshti
Armoury - Zerehgah
Corral - doesn't know what this means
Orchard - golestan
Outpost -padgan
Palace - kax
Tower - borj
Wall - divar
Take in mind that some of this words do not exist in modern Persian (or are very rarely used). I can't even find them in dictionaries, so I have to invent them by compiling different words. Also, this is not ancient Persian- This is quite modern, but I'm only using "pure" Persian words.
Dariush-e Bozorg = Dariush the great, add "-e Bozorg".
Dokashti?Sekashti?
That means "two ship", "three ship". If someone find out what the 'reme' part of trireme means, it would help.
I've written the two different kinds of A's there exists in Persian as just "a". If you If you want to use letters like "â" then tell me and I'll give you a new more correct list.

Yes this game is amazing, so full of choices and it's very indepth. Maybe we could organize a multiplayer game sometime?

Wijitmaker, words in your pm now.

I saw it using a pair of binoculars and a white paper. You could see a small black spot on the reflection the sun gave through the binoculars, on the white paper.

And Swedish.

Sure, I'm going away in 2 weeks, but will be back late July.

It looks great! Keep up with the great work.

About half a year ago (or maybe even longer) I wrote a list on some Persian words.. and I was asked if I could help with pronounciation and such too. Well, I wonder if it's the time now and I could write a new list of words (my Persian skills are much better now). I have lots of free time currently and I'm bored so it would be a good time.
-
I want it now too, but don't rush it.
-
I think I'll get it when it gets cheaper. Looks good. :drug:
