feneur Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 We got a name suggestion via email, so I thought I'd start up this topic already Hello, i'm a huge fan of 0AD and history i would like to propose "Salamis" for the next alpha. This battle changed the outcome of greco-persian wars, changing the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Salamis 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auron2401 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) darnit, i was going to suggest salamis. T.TSalamis would be great if a19 was focussed on naval warfare. I'll withold my good ones, (mattering on the alphas focus - if it has one) for now however....Saepenumero - repeated. Doing something again and again.Like constantly repackaging new builds? Or...Sol, Solus, The Sun. Maybe even Sol Invictus, which was eventually adopted as the roman sun god (from syria). But that was early empire, not republic.If someone can find an S word about Discipline, Or motion, it would fit with This ticket. Which I think would be a big part.

Giotto Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Siege of Syracuse (214-212 BC), lots of interesting stuff. Resulted in the death of Archimedes who built some siege weapons to defend the city. Edited March 15, 2015 by Giotto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auron2401 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Names of locations and individuals sound weird though.Battles events and mythical beings are more smooth going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feneur Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Nah, we're not going to use a name like that for an Alpha =)Though on the topic of using a personal name for an Alpha, maybe we should name the W one Wood (if we reach that high a number of Alphas, but I think somewhere around there is probably what we'll end up with). In memory of one of the first and most influential members of the team: Ken Wood ( http://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showuser=63 and the low usernumber should tell you something of how early he was a part of the team), who died in 2006. But that will have to be decided later, I just wanted to write it down so it's easier to remember. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auron2401 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) So no stan? I'll get the shovel, and we can bury stan tonight?To lions suggestions...Saturnalia would be fantastic if a19 came out in december. Also, Strategos (or strategoi) would be great there was more emphasis on military/formations in the alpha.

kumaryu Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I guess scutum is too much like scrotum, and subligaria is just pants. Spatha might just cut it but sagittarii would be my best shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
