niektb Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi there! Some of you might know that there is an 0 A.D. release upcoming and as always we scheduled a release along with it but we need a release name for it. It should start with a 'C'. This new release features some additional content for the Anglo-Saxons so it would be nice to have the name related to that. Let us hear your suggestions! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcelmare Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Why not just "Mercia"? Sounds good to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiber7 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) I think this could fit very well : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comitatus_(classical_meaning) EDIT : because the French article is better if you understand it https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comitatus Edited October 24, 2016 by Tiber7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiber7 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) They used a sort of Comitatus system but they never mentioned it as Comitatus by the way. But historians do. Edited October 24, 2016 by Tiber7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiber7 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I know these are few things and not that inspired words but it's hard to find a word starting with "C" and meaningful about the Anglo-Saxons. I'd say my best proposition is Comitatus. It's meaningful. It was used by the Anglo-Saxons even if they didn't make any reference of it under this name. And, last but not least, it could make players learn what Comitatus is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shieldwolf23 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 My two cents worth: CEN The Anglo-Saxon poem gives the name cen "torch". The torch is known to every living manby its pale, bright flame; it always burnswhere princes sit within. see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaunan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niektb Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 I'm a bit stuck between Comitatus and Cen. Which one should we choose? (I'm a bit in favor of Cen because it's a word in the native language and has a nice poem along with it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I'd say Cen as well not sure we have much latin left in the civs for now ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
