    Default Lol?

    I laughed when I saw this guy turning up for marriage. Does this mean I can start my own 'LOL' dynasty?. And why has this name been implented into the game?

    His name is Iol, for he is supposed to hail from a punic settlement called that way along the African coast, near Siga.

    Silly name aside, this guy is an excellent FM, by the look of his characteristics. I hope you didn't reject him...

    No, I accepted him. A silly name is no reason to reject such a fine joung lad. He is currently heading the offensive in Spain.

    well, he could have ended up with Dr.Insano as a name...
    or SPOONTOK!!
    or ultimate spoony.
    or Muttenba'al "desctrucity" Iol
    or muttenba'al "simply delicious" Seifer
    of course, there was also a town in North Africa called "Iol Caesaria". thankfully, it was never included in the mod. we don't want the older players dying of a heart attack, induced by violent laughter.

    Maybe not Caesarea but certainly Iol was Carthaginian by Alexander's time period. Oh, and what about before the Carthaginians? Any local kingdoms...rulers?
