Enhanced Romani gaming experience

Salve fellow Romans,

Just a little tip to have a more immersive experience: Italian TW
It might be a little late, as most of you already have TW, but by accident I got the Italian version which is...well, brilliant.
When clicking your general he doesn't reply "commander?" but "Generale"
and then I'm not getting started about the speeches.
If you mod it with EB (I played 3 vanilla campaign's in Italian) the information on the map turns to english as well as all other text, so in diplomatic negotiation you know what you're talking about. Unit reply's in battle are also EB (latin and stuff), but map sounds and speeches stay dolce.

Andiamo! Il nemico tremmera...

I sure wish there was something similiar for us Greek EBers...

Dutch TW would sound really silly, just like the dutch voices from ETW are extremly silly.

I haven't heard Dutch TW, but you could be happy that it's actually Dutch and not German or some fake in-between thing,
I really hate it when they do that in movies.

The German battle speeches are really silly, especially if you don't play Roman.

I start a nice thread and I get a picture of that pasted all over it:wall:
You might have to mod the skins of your army, have it feature a lot of pink, silver and lightblue, all the cavalry units having big feathers on their back. "Legio Maak Me Gek"
And change the music of course...

Localisation? You mean in other versions Italy is located somewhere else? Like...next to Norway...

A true Roman doesn't entertain. He either talks or stabs people to death.

Or gets his arse riped by a Makedonian sarissa.

Are we getting into this again?
Where is this Romaoi Macedon thing coming from? Pahlava and Lusitani players tend to get along fine.

Don't forget about my Carthaginians.
Jebivjetar likes to kill Romans with his African elephants :2thumbsup: :smash: :smash: :smash:

It's just that Pahlava and Luso players don't like Romaioi either :whip:

Hehehe, that's a bad analogy mate.

Why everybody hates us, good Romani, sons and daughters of Mars, maybe its envy, who knows. We ended the Hellenic civil war, taught the Iberians how to behave, and the Gauls that they should dress up, instead of going around naked. Well every one is a Barbarian to someone, I heard.

Is there a way to download the Italian TW voice mod and install it on the english version. I would like to hear my Roman Imperator Conquerer of MAcedonia ( and that Maion:smash: who hates us so much ) speak Italiano.

Ave, Cheers.

This sounds like someone who has his logos still in the right part of his body.
Guess the Macedonians are so fanatic in refusing what's good for them because they got real close to achieving what we achieved later (wow, that's like Back to the Future)

But seriously, I got the Italian stuff in the complete TW, I'm not sure if you can download the voice tracks, but I'm not a modder. If you're worried about unreadable messages, EB fixes that.

And what is that?

What as in "what's good for them": An end to hellenistic civil war, peace, prosperity, consequent flourishing culture.
What as in "what we achieved": A lasting empire.

We end hellenistic civil war the "Makedonian Way" and our empire will last forever!

Funny, the Romans end other civil war but start their own. I wonder what that good would bring?

Uhh maintaining military fitness? :embarassed:

But this thread is degrading into another Romaioi-Macedon bashing and

God, if I was Tosa, I would have applied "baptism or death" to all the Rômaioktonoi. Just imagine what the EB forums would be without them! Bah, but as Parmenio and Iskander story goes...

@AP: Guess who wrote this things:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

AP said: Watch how I trashed this poor Romaioi-loving scum!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

AP said: Wow, after arguing for Hellenes and against the Romaoio barbaroi dogs, I sure do feel fully 100% Romaioktonoi!!

...when he was a member of Romaioktonoi :clown:

I already know all he and Sata has to say :beam: and I encourage others to follow suit. These two are nothing but a spamming nuisance.

I wonder why you want your Roman generals to sound Italian though, modern Italians has very little in common with the Res Publica Romana. Their language and culture is cool and I like them, but a fair bit away from the Legions. Think rather capitano Bertorelli :laugh4:

I also wonder what is wrong with being gay? :oops: :wall::wall::wall::wall: I at least do not mind them, most are cool and nice people as their own and society's preconceptions and prejudices has forced them to grow- and it leaves more girls for me :laugh4:

Yeah, you've mentioned that few times already. Big deal.

mmmh the Romans spoke latin, not italian...
although the italian is very similar to latin, much more than french and spanish (other languages derived from Latin).

1600 years after the fall of the west roman empire, in large part of its territory is still speaking neo-Latin languages ...
seems that the empire of the East has fallen before the empire of the West.. :laugh4:

however, does not seem right to give to Romans an italian lenguage.
if you want to know the Latin, ask to a Catholic priest, he certainly knows it.
Once the fallen Roman Empire, only the Holy Church has continued to speak Latin in the world.

Don't forget that science and lawyers use it (Albeit in small amounts..)

Some fun is fine. Seriously. But if every damned thread here is turning into this spam, respond-attack-spam, spam, quote-complain-attack-spam, uh-oh-lock-coming-spam, spam, then we will have to go further than just closing some threads. People don't come here for that - we have lots of members that watch the public forum - we *want* to look at the threads there. BUT if every time we open one up because it has a bold title and some new posts have been made, and then we find this crap on the inside (the "haha! Romans suxor!" "Maks teh rule!"), then it starts pissing us off that we opened it up, and that we wasted that time, and we question "is *this* what I'm spending my time doing here?" You don't want that. We don't want that. So put a stop to this yourselves or we will. An occasional joke about it won't bother folks. But when a comment is made, then someone has to post a one sentence comment *on* a comment (and not on the topic), and someone else has to post a five word comment on *that* comment, then we WILL do something about it, even if it unfortunately means removing some folks' access to the EB forum here, which they probably won't want. Post something of consequence. That's why the "what's the best bang for your buck unit" type threads have so many views - there's good stuff there. Take the tavern stuff elsewhere.

Italian is closer to Latin than English is, and it's not meant as a historical refinement, more like an improvement of the general atmosphere.
As for the Church, I read somewhere that Catholic Latin is also different from original Latin. There is also the difference between vulgar and formal latin, where vulgar latin sounded much more like modern Romanic languages (formal horse: equus, vulgar horse: caballo).
Come to speak of it, anyone know good sources for audio of (attempts at) classical latin?
The only thing I found was a bad recorded latin overdub of "Star Wars"
