Bloodlust2. War3. RiseRepublic4. Strength Mostly are english names, the team select ancient name( language) based in Greek, Latin , Hebrew/ Punic if is possible, ancient Persian ( pharsi or farsi ?) and some Celtic names and Ancient Indian.The 2nd problem is : you need start with S each name.3th you need be have a good reason for choice those names.

av93 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Alpha XIX Strategos? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StrategusI think it fits with the new feature of capturing edit: already suggested Edited August 7, 2015 by av93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanHart Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Here are my ideas:0 A.D. 19 ...Semita - Latin for "path" because of the new pathfinderIgnis Semita - "fire path"Ignis Tempus - "time of fire"Ferro Igne - "iron and fire"Trahentium - "trail"Sanguinem Semita - "blood path"Polypodis - "octopus" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Semita huh? looks promising 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 bugs need worked out if the pathfinder is to be featured heavily in the release. If that happen then Semita sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackyserious Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) Yes, the name semita sounds good for Alpha 19Errm if Vikings are going to be in the next alpha then the name has to be Thor Hi there Dezzi, the Council of Modders is working on a Norse (or Viking) faction for our Millenium AD mod. You can find the CoM here in the forums or track us via ModDB You can also download the experimental versions of the mod on Github https://github.com/0ADMods/millenniumad Edited August 9, 2015 by wackyserious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itms Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Maybe "Semitae" (plural, "paths") then? I like that proposal but I'm not sure the new pathfinder is the best thing to highlight gameplay-wise (capturing would make more sense). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouke Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Then you could simply use "σύλληψη", greek for capture and since "σ" is like "s". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itms Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 This sounds like a valid alternative. After looking in my dictionnary the correct form seems to be σύλληψις. That would give Syllepsis (or Syllēpsis) after translitteration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Ok we have other big contender Semitae vs Syllepsis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would give Syllepsis (or Syllēpsis) after translitteration.Indeed that is the nom. singular, I took the dat.Here some more greek words with almost the same meaning:sumballoo (and many forms of these verb) -- to unitesummisgoo -- to combinesunakoloutheoo -- to go withsunaptoo -- to uniteetc.I could fill a few pages with these words, but Syllepsis seems to be the nicest word.

Itms Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I would lean towards Syllepsis, because I'm afraid people would think we added a new Semitic faction if we go with Semitae. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 +1 for Syllepsis also, the word isn't confusing, nor religious which is nice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
