Ancient greek help^^

[alexkon3]

Hello i have a short question,

when you attack with your phalanx or whatever greek unit they say something and it may sound strange but i like that word somehow^^ but here's the problem i have no idea how to write it and the only thing i know is how it sounds. i hope one of you can help me in how the word is written and what it means. So it sounds something like ekuaimete.
i have no idea on that please help me xD

From what I remember it simply means "Infantry" in Ancient Greek.

I'd have to hear it to tell you but generally infantry are referred to as Pezoi, which quite literally translates as "the feet" iirc. Hence pezhetairoi are "foot companions." I think some of the greek bannermen in the game actually have banners which say Pezoi on them as well.

Also from what I remember, attack in Ancient Greek would be prosballon (too lazy to find greek characters :sweatdrop:) which would also translate into throw into/towards.

I think he's speaking of Greek Unit Attack 3 (pick whichever version of it)...
I barely studied ancient greek for a year, but sounds like εκεί μείνητε, should mean something like "continue there"...

Hopefully someone with a far better hearing and understanding of me can help you ^^

Both of you are quite close. It is actually: ΩΝΔΡΕΣ, ΕΚΚΥΜΑΙΝΕΤΕ! The first bit is just vocativus of "men" in Makedonian, the second is: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057%3Aentry%3De)kkumai%2Fnw
