That's... ambitious I don't think I could have stood the amount of work it must represent.

Well the 80% of the NECESSARY for the function of the game is already done in the released beta, out of the 5.5 mb of text code only 2-3 are necessary and obvious the rest are part of the advice and various other functions of the game, the project exist because Greece a country member of the European Union one of the 12 STARS of the founding states is treated as a Third world country by all publishers, RTW is released in RUSSIAN and in Dutch but not in Greek...

Wrong.
The 12 stars have nothing to do with any number of members...

Quote from http://europa.eu.int/abc/symbols/emblem/index_en.htm

"The number of stars has nothing to do with the number of Member States. There are twelve stars because the number twelve is traditionally the symbol of perfection, completeness and unity. The flag therefore remains unchanged regardless of EU enlargements."


Apart from that I think it´s a great service you´ve done for the greek people, we germans get german versions for almost everything, so we usually don´t need to translate ourselves.

How does not releasing the game in Greek equate to classifying Greece as a third world country?

[Brutus]

RTW is released in RUSSIAN and in Dutch but not in Greek...

Well if you consider the fact that NO holywood movie is doubled in Greek just with subtitles, no game is localised in greek (only if its from a greek developer) the whole greek language being ignored as non existant you get the picture...

All TV is half english we get EVERYTHING with subtitles, our leaders speak english EVERY time they are out of the country!!!

Holland has 16-17 millions inhabitanats which isnt that higher than greece but they got RTW localised.

RTW was never released in Dutch. Likely it never will be. And there about 16 million Dutchmen and 6 or 7 million Belgians that speak Dutch as their primary language, making a total of about 22 million (not counting any Surinamese or Antilleans who might speak Dutch as well).
So there are about twice as much Dutch speakers as Greek speakers, am I right? Still, RTW isn't released in Dutch, all movies and tv-series (except for those for kids) are subtitled as well (Thank God for that, nothing is as lame as dubbing, just watch German television). Also, all our politicians our obliged to speak English in foreign countries as well (never heard a foreign politician speak Dutch. Ever. Just listen to the Dutch Secretary General of NATO Jaap de Hoop Scheffer. Ever hear someone pronounce that right?).

And really, I can't say I mind. Absolutely, a Greek Mod is cool, don't understand me wrong, but don't pretend Greek language is worse off then most smaller languages in the world.

Edit: Sorry, only saw after my post that the discussion has ended. Enjoy the Greek mod!
