    Default EB load screen Quotes

    Hi all,

    First of all, I'm unbelievably impressed with how incredibly this mod has transformed the original Rome Total War into a completely new experience. I'm shocked and amazed, After faintly hearing about it during the early stages when the game was just out and only finding out about it now. You can clearly see the love and devotion the team and other contributors put into it!


    Now, what I wanted to ask is: I like the load screen quotes. Is there a list of these somewhere in the EB data folders? Thanks if you'll help me by pointing it out.

    Lots of love from a thankful fan

    There is, I know because I managed to track it down once. But I'm so lazy I can just confirm there is such a file ;)

    Yes, but where are the ORIGINALS? Meaning, the Latin and (old-) Greek quotes ..., even if I'm not current in both languages, I'd like to look at them.
    Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:

    "Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
    "The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"

    You could probably find them at http://www.perseus.tufts.edu

    Beware though, that website is painfully slow.

    Hmm, ... I have the impression that I pointed my question in a misunderstoodable fashion. What I meant was, where are the Latin/Greek quotes from the load-screens hidden? In that txt-file, I found the english translation, say "I came, saw and won" but not "Veni, vidi, vici".

    Sorry, but English/American's not my mother-language/tongue.
