Hi all,

First of all, I'm unbelievably impressed with how incredibly this mod has transformed the original Rome Total War into a completely new experience. I'm shocked and amazed, After faintly hearing about it during the early stages when the game was just out and only finding out about it now. You can clearly see the love and devotion the team and other contributors put into it!
:applause: :applause: :applause: ~:cheers:

Now, what I wanted to ask is: I like the load screen quotes. Is there a list of these somewhere in the EB data folders? Thanks if you'll help me by pointing it out.

Lots of love from a thankful fan :balloon2:

There is, I know because I managed to track it down once. But I'm so lazy I can just confirm there is such a file ;)

Yes, but where are the ORIGINALS? Meaning, the Latin and (old-) Greek quotes ..., even if I'm not current in both languages, I'd like to look at them.:yes:

You could probably find them at http://www.perseus.tufts.edu

Beware though, that website is painfully slow.

Hmm, ... I have the impression that I pointed my question in a misunderstoodable fashion. What I meant was, where are the Latin/Greek quotes from the load-screens hidden? In that txt-file, I found the english translation, say "I came, saw and won" but not "Veni, vidi, vici".

Sorry, but English/American's not my mother-language/tongue. :dizzy2:

Except for those where the original and the translation are combined, you will not find this in the EB files. You can try the site Abou mentioned.

It has been tried to put the original Ancient Greek text but what you saw was something like...")Q*(#$&)@(*$&)#@(*$&)" and so to avoid further...:furious3: we stuck to english.

Just download the mod again, install into a new folder, and replace the damaged files with the ones you just downloaded.

@ OP: The quotes project, which Xsamatan linked, provides better source citation for a great many of the quotes - but the inclusion of the original language (usually Greek or Latin, but sometimes Persian and/or Aramaic) was decided on a case-by-case basis, depending on how long the quote was. Even so, there is more Greek and Latin in the new quotes (fully integrated into EB2) than in EB1.
