Re: German Preview PC Games
So, they essentially combined the diplomat with a sort of assassin and a scientist, and the spy and assassin?
And...'rake'? That sounds like a mistranslation :inquisitive:
Re: German Preview PC Games
Appreciate the info, SaFe. Thanks for the translation. :bow:
Although I'm a little unclear as to the abilities/purpose of the Gentlemen & Rakes, your English is just fine for the most part. ~:)
Re: German Preview PC Games
New info! Cheers SaFe! Translation's good, BTW.
Gentlemen seems like the Great People (I think that's what they're called) from Civ4, that could help you increase your tech feature. As for the duelling, I suppose it'll be like somekind of official assassination.
Rakes (strange name...) look like the mixture of assassin and spy. Infiltrate army and kill characters.
Re: German Preview PC Games
I wonder if the Rake is essentially a professional duelist (a seasoned fighter who, for a price, will deliberately provoke fights with nobles in order to kill them)? I've seen such characters in fictional literature, but never heard of them existing in real life.
Re: German Preview PC Games
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rake_(character)
Dashing person of dubious morals.
The emphasis seems to be more normally on drinking, gambling & womanising but being a dubious type, (& probably with the aid of heavy debt or being otherwise 'compromised') this kind of fella is more likely to do dodgy stuff for you than an upstanding, conservative Gentleman.
Not so sure I like the idea of 'put anywhere you like' for buildings, could lead to some funny looking provinces unless there is some kind of default, suggested positions.

That is correct, you cannot place buildings anywhere, there are preset places they can be built. I am not sure why the German magazine has stated otherwise.
Re: German Preview PC Games
Over at TWC they seem to have worked it out, I understand you can bring up the province build menu from anywhere in the province rather than just in the city?
That could be misinterpreted as 'build anywhere', especially by the time it gets translated back to English from German.
Re: German Preview PC Games
The Scarlet Pimpernel could be categorised as a "Rake".
It's very old English.
Re: German Preview PC Games
I did mention the prospect of a professional duelist a while ago when we first saw the filming of the videos

I wonder if there will be limiting factors on this as otherwise you could develop an exceptionally good duelist and then have him/her call out the major generals in an opposing army. I suppose it would look bad to back out of a duel (loss of prestige) but undercover French Gentleman calling out Wellington would have been interesting before Waterloo
