Fionn Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 ...but Germanic isn't a noun, it's a verb. If you are referring to a warrior, he is Germanic but he isn't a Germanic. He's a German. His men are Germans, not Germanics. I keep seeing Germanics throughout the site so I thought it was worth throwing this out there for the game designers to see.

Hiram Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Sorry for my little understanding of english, but how can germanic be a verb?I mean, I germanic, you germanic, he germanic... doesn't sound rigth, in any case, I thing it may be an adjective, but I cant think how can you conjugate germanic?

Mythos_Ruler Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 It's an adjective, not a verb (or noun). I'd rather call them Germans or Germanians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun 144 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I had a feeling this might come up. I know I use the term Germanics in my articles but to be brief I just can not think of anything better. German or Germans is not correct for 0 AD's time frame as the Germans did not exist at the time and would not for some time. I have seen some scholarly articles on the Later Roman Era that do use the term Germanics to refer to the northern enemies of Rome. I believe this to be acceptable. If you have any concerns, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fionn Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I am sorry for the mistake. Hahaha now who's the one who doesn't know their grammar? Once again, I don't mean to be annoying with these little things. I just want the game at its best potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
