Nice. Do they speak Coptic in-game or Greek?

In which language did the warriors' leaders give them orders?

[Skullheadhq]

I don't know. Probably Coptic because only some Alexandrians would have spoken Greek. See this map:

[Tellos Athenaios]

Depends but that will likely mean Greek. It might well be possible to actually do voicemods per units, but we don't have ready made Coptic voicemods nor the code to set that up. I don't think anybody hat before, far as I know all current voicemods are tied either to a combination of "culture" and "voice type" or to "accent".

Look on the bright side, you went to the right part of the world to drown out your sorrows.

Look on the bright side, you went to the right part of the world to drown out your sorrows.

Georgia is better, if only because you get to practice what in the Arab world is called "Shamaatah"--at the expense of all those people crazy enough to drink vodka before heading out on a mountain road.

that's if you are into that sort of thing

(no, I am not).

[moonburn]

i was getting worried with the lack of news :|

[Populus Romanus]

Well that is big news (for us bloodthirsty fans)! I can't wait to see the results of this.

3 New tweets!

Scripting for Taksashila. It will be tough to declare independence from Mauryan Empire. Armies will be sent against Gandhara & Sagala. ~JMRC

Caste system has great impact in the assignment of governmental and military postings. Still, a freeman can aspire to be the Maharaja. ~JMRC

The scripted armies keep moving relentlessly toward Taksashila and Sagala and will besiege them. Elephants, chariots, longbowmen, etc. ~JMRC

[Arjos]

That is so epic!
Incredible how few words still manage to fire me up about this mod :P

[nazgool]

Great news

[stratigos vasilios]

Sounds like tremendous progress is being made!

[Biowulf]

I cannot wait! It will be the most epic download of my life I hope I have time to get a new computer before it's released though :P

[moonburn]

relax i will probably have to download the kingdoms expansion set from steam anyway :\ and all for the pure joy of having to change 2 of my most fun aspects of the game wich is building riverforts along the borders and population/city growth management
