    Default Funny jokes in RTW

    I'm not sure if anyone experienced or figured some of these out, but here are a few things:

    1.) Recently, an Egyptian diplomat came to me and asked me to be a protectorate when I was playing as Numidia. The text that he used to ask me said this: "The Pharoah has declared that all your bases are belong to us." I found that funny!

    2.) There is a province called Locus Gepidae. The settlement there is called Domus Dulcis Domus, which is Latin for "Home sweet home." I found that amusing. Now, if I could just translate the province name. I'm not sure what Gepidae means, but it looks like the genitive case, and locus means "place." So, it's the "place of Gepida." I think it would be ven more humourous if that was the name of one of the developers of RTW and Domus Dulcis Domus was where his home was actually located

    So, what funny things have you guys found?

    Locus Gepida means home of the Gepids. They were a tribe in northern Europe, IIRC. At the extreme north end of the map, east of Locus Gepida, there is the hidden city of Themiskyra (in the province is Hyperborea ). You need to cross two rivers and several forrests, and then you will meet the Hidden Amazon Warriors in their fearsome chariots. Do not venture there without a decent army (or better yet, have a spy/diplomat scout the place out).

    When you type in 'elephaunt' in the console window, you will get a unit of Yubtseb elephants from the black land of "Gnitekram" ( ) .

    There is also a lot of humour in the general's speeches and traits. The insane/deranged generals get terrific speeches and their trait descriptions are hilarious as well. ("There are those who say that this man gibbers like a deranged rock ape. The rock apes will take offence at this slur.") Another area for silly humour are the ancillaries. What about an evil mother-in-law (sadly the trigger for this one malfunctions, but it is present in the files), a senatorial horse, a "Tender of the Arse" and, worst of all, an inflatable sheep.

    How do you get the "elephaunt" thing to work? I tried it on the campaign map, in a campaign battle, and a custom single-player battle; does it only work for BI or something?

    Type "oliphaunt" into RomeShell, on the campaign map.

    Except for the Lesbian rebels not much, well perhaps when asking for a ceasefire and the enemy wants you to give up 2-3 settlements you have payed for in blood.
