myou5e Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 Not to be racist or anything, I'm sure their parents loved their children very much and had great motivation when they called their child "Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus Cunctator", but I'm just saying I do wish their parents had considered a little more the challenges that such decisions would have upon User Interfaces in the deep future which being designed for any reasonable language would not occlude text but unfortunately does for such ridiculously ostentatious names. What should be done about the Roman Question? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Yeah, his name should be truncated. His full name and epithets can be given in his History section.

I want to have them back for Documentation purposes. They can be excluded for the translators if need be another way. But I think they are good for game culture and mood etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperion Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 For a game that want's to bring history closer to users 0ad doesn't do great. I'd love to be able to click an entity an read up a bit about it. I see that doing it in game is sort of challenging and without a dev being fully behind it probably not possible to realize. Maybe a website dedicated to bringing historic facts closer for the civs portrayed would be easier to find a maintainer for and would go great lengths. Besides incredible freedom in presentation such a site can easy reference sources, beeing viewed using a translator software and more.

thephilosopher Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 Lots of people have proposed adding later periods of Rome to the game. Just wait until your next hero is Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus Pontifex Maximus Consul XIII Tribunicia Potestas XXXVII Imperator XXI Pater Patriae. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
