Doktoreus Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hi @Nescio and @Itms, I have finished the Unit Listing and am attaching it now. I only found two items that did not have a "Specific" name, a Kush Bireme and Maur siege ram. I'll start working on the in-game documentation until I get some input from the developers on what they need. I am still kind of searching to find out what exists already. If you have any ideas or wants just let me know. Thanks, Dok Unit Listing Alphabetical.txt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nescio Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 @Doktoreus Thanks again! @Sundiata The other Kushite unit specific names are correct? @Genava55 Do you happen to have a list with corrections and suggestions for the Briton and Gaulish specific unit names? @stanislas69 Could you move these three posts (starting with 367549, the one with the txt file) into a new “unit specific name review” thread?

They're correct, but they are missing proper diacritics for now, so I'll go through them again and adjust where necessary. I'll post an updated list here when it's done.

Doktoreus Posted May 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Hi @Sundiata, I am updating the Kushite civilization profile page in the design document and noticed that there is no specific name for the bireme. It is shown as "Light Warship" in the game itself. Do you have a suggestion for a specific name for this bireme? Thanks, Ralph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

av93 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Little offtopic, but related: I still think that would be cool to have that patch to hide optionally the translated specific name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are probably many who would like that but seems like it's a lot of work, for a little bonus.

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 I don't think it would be that much work. All that needs to be done is make 1 tag in the templates togglable viewing in the GUI code. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose ἁρμάμαξα Harmamaxa for catafalque, since that is what Diodoros 18 chapter 27 uses for Alexander's catafalque. It means "covered chariot" like the model shows. (Before it was named for Athens "Solon"?? Macedonia: "Philip V"? "Ptolemy III Euergetes (Benefactor)"?? "Antiochus I Soter (Savior)"?? "Lycurgus"?? - do you want me to rename them Harmamaxa Solōnos/Philippou B'/Ptolemaiou G'/Antiochou A'/Lykourgou?) The Catafalques are supposed to house the remains of the men mentioned in their name. So yeah, "Catafalque of Solon" would be the best generic name and then the specific name translation from that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm guessing they're based on Plut. Aem. 18.3 (quoting potentially problematic Perseus again): Spoiler πρῶτοι δ᾽ οἱ Θρᾷκες ἐχώρουν, ὧν μάλιστά φησιν ἐκπλαγῆναι τὴν ὄψιν, ἄνδρες ὑψηλοὶ τὰ σώματα, λευκῷ καὶ περιλάμποντι θυρεῶν καὶ περικνημίδων ὁπλισμῷ μέλανας ὑπενδεδυμένοι χιτῶνας, ὀρθὰς δὲ ῥομφαίας βαρυσιδήρους ἀπὸ τῶν δεξιῶν ὤμων ἐπισείοντες, παρὰ δὲ τοὺς Θρᾷκας οἱ μισθοφόροι παρενέβαλλον, ὧν σκευαί τε παντοδαπαὶ, καὶ μεμιγμένοι Παίονες ἦσαν ἐπὶ δὲ τούτοις ἄγημα τρίτον οἱ λογάδες, αὐτῶν Μακεδόνων ἀρετῇ καὶ ἡλικίᾳ τὸ καθαρώτατον, ἀστράπτοντες ἐπιχρύσοις ὅπλοις καὶ νεουργοῖς φοινικίσιν. First the Thracians advanced, whose appearance, Nasica says, was most terrible,—men of lofty stature, clad in tunics which showed black beneath the white and gleaming armour of their shields and greaves, and tossing high on their right shoulders battle-axes [sic] with heavy iron heads. Next to the Thracians, the mercenaries advanced to the attack; their equipment was of every variety, and Paeonians were mingled with them. Next to these came a third division, picked men, the flower of the Macedonians themselves for youthful strength and valour, gleaming with gilded armour and fresh scarlet coats. That doesn't mean we should stick with that specific name, though. (I'll respond to your other points another time.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nescio Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 22 hours ago, Anaxandridas ho Skandiates said: ῥομφαίοφόρος is correct, that is what happens when you add the suffix (guys really have to know that stuff if they want to create new unattested words, which is why I generally argue against it, but let us leave Melanochitones as it is not an official faction unit). The champion black cloaks are trainable by Athens, Macedon, and Sparta, who share one and the same file. The Seleucids have mercenary rhomphaiophoroi of their own; nonetheless, their actors are rather similar: (from left to right: basic, advanced, elite (Seleucids) and champion (Athens/Macedon/Sparta).) Although they have different files, in principle they're based on the same unit type, therefore they ought to use the same name—whether that is “black cloak”, “rhomphaiophoros”, “Thracian swordman”, or something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nescio Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 1 hour ago, Genava55 said: Generally Druids are considered practicing medical intervention. Although there are debates about the wide term and its limits. Druid could be a generic term applied to a wide range of intellectual practitioners with specialists. Or a very specific term for high-ranking member of the priest class. Anyway, I think it is safe to use the Druid terminology for the healer but if you want several kind of "priests", you can use for the healer another name known from the Celtic society: the Uatis, which is the counterpart of the Roman Vates. But in my opinion, Druid is ok currently. Thanks for the information. D2155's question is whether “Druides” is a proper specific name (I don't know). What language is it? The same as what is used for the Briton and Gaulish structure specific names (given by you here)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is assumed that the word druid comes from Proto-Celtic *druwits / *druwid. As reported by the Romans, Druid is the use in gaulish. If we assume singular Druid, then it is Druides in plural form. In Scottish Gaelic, singular form is draoidh and plural is draoidhean. In Old Irish, the singular forms are either drui or druid. So I would say Druid and Druides are correct for both Gauls and Britons. 36 minutes ago, Stan` said: I noticed you are not in the game history.json credits files. How would you rather be credited?
