Rhegion?

**Vaal** · 06-20-2009, 07:19

So I took Taras, great fight and all. To my surprise a little man comes up and tells me that *blah blah your expanding Rome, next take Rhegion from the traitor garrison" . Sweet! As much as I love free game play a little direction is perfect in a game like EB. So I besiege it. Lo-and behold, they Sally out to meet me, and are vanquished. The announcer pops up... Then quickly disappears. It was their turn...

My question: What does the advisor say after you take Rhegion, and does he continue saying things after that?

If you take it, it will not appear again.

I have already taken Rhegion though, I just missed the message because I took it on the Eleutheroi's turn.

It says that roman's honour had been restored and other factions' relationship would raise. I don't know if there is a real gamplay impact, but it's still a satisfaction to complete the mission XD

A quick question: why it's Rhegion and not Rhegium?

Rhegion is the Greek version of the province name. The name "Rhegium" is the latinzed version. As Greek was the dominant language in Southern Italy at the beginning of the EB time period, the Greek name should be more appropriate.

Indeed. Rhegion was a Greek city-state before the Romaioi dogs came barking at her doorstep. It's for the same reason why Taras isn't named Tarentum (Tarentum, ha!), or Syrakousai Syracuse, or... Well you get it now I believe.

Senatores, the legions have taken Rhegion from Roman traitors and restored the city to its inhabitants. Some 300 captured Roman renegades have been scourged and beheaded in the Forum. By this action the good name of Rome has been restored, so far as possible, among the allies.

Modern greek is not ancient greek. Anyway, just few states speaks greek today. Spanish, French and Italian (Romanian is influenced too) came from Latin, not greek.

You forget Catalan and Portuguese.

Portuguese is the latin language wich retain most Latinism today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_language
:) and the 5th language more spoken in the world, and the 3th more spoken in europe :)
A poet once called the portuguese language was "the last flower of Latium, wild and beautiful"

Also latin language were strongly influenced by ancient greek and etruscan language. Its very revelant, becouse most roman culture was very influenced by etruscan culture(people from etrúria), the art and the way of making ceremic, as well the triumph traditions comes from etrurian tribes. its important to understand this becouse vulgar latin isnt a copy of ancient greek. it retains much from varius cultures in italic peninsula, naturaly.
