Re: Subforum Name
most things that are researched are on units and tactics basically, so i'm guessing something related to a "war room" would be better, where generals and commanders plan for campaigns and such... it would be better if there was a latin equivelant of course.

"The Praetor's Tent", outside of which stand the original Praetorian Guard?

As posted right before, Campus Martius would be the closest Latin for "war room" campus= camp, Martius= of Mars, so Mars' camp, ie war camp.Originally Posted by faisal
so to sum up, add another vote for Campus Martius
Re: Subforum Name
Whats the pun with ludus magna. . . ?
I pledge allegiance to the underworld One nation under dog,There of which I stand alone,A face in the crowdUnsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know
Stepped out of the line,Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time,To my own beat now
The only way I know
One light, one mind,Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
A free for all,Screw 'em all
You are your own sight
I want to be the minority,I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority,I want to be the minority
Re: Subforum Name
I think Ludus Magna has pretty much won already, might as well make it that.

Re: Subforum Name
hi MA -- see my post above (#8 I think) -- it's a pun in Latin rather than in English, and so rather obscure.
Due to the large run on votes for "Ludus Magna", we'll be going with that name. For any who have reservations, you may want to check this page quickly, and then Google-search for Ludus Magnus and read up. It actually has a good tie-in in many ways to this forum.
Purists may wince at the "Magna", but we'll go with the game's naming convention. Thanks everyone for the input!

Re: Subforum Name
Ludus Magna it is then. Thanks for the input everyone. May our collaborative research efforts produce glorious fruit!
As this thread has now run its course, it will be closed. Our thanks to those who participated!

Re: Subforum Name
Ehh.... if my memory serves, campus means field. The Campus Martius was a field outside Rome, where young citizens learned the craft of war. I think it was also the closest a returning general could bring his army before surrendering his command (unless he had a Triumph - OT: little videos of Triumphs would have been a nice touch in the game). I think the legions used to be raised on this field as well - but I could be wrong.As posted right before, Campus Martius would be the closest Latin for "war room" campus= camp, Martius= of Mars, so Mars' camp, ie war camp.

*edit*
Hmm, started writing in the RTW 2 sub-forum, finished in the Ludus Magna...
