Auernoi gives a better representation of its pronunciation...

[moonburn]

in latin u and v are interchangable at least in juridic terms it is

[nazgool]

Thx for the answer :)

[anubis88]

In written latin as well... It's because v and u were very simmilarly pronounced in classical latin, so they didn't feel the need for different letters for a while, until they saw that stuff like SERVVS could be written better with Servus... It took them a long time tough...

I do wonder if this was the case with Gallic language as well?

[Tretii]

My goodness. You guys are masters. The level of details on those units is amazing!
Gustav - felicitations mon pot, you've surpassed yourself with your work.

You might want to edit the swear from your post, you'll get an infraction from the moderators otherwise.

From the in-progress Latin Pronunciation Guide:

i – although generally thought of as a vowel, it also acted in a consonantal role similar to the y in the English young. This would be seen often in the beginning of words when followed by a vowel. In the Middle Ages this became the English letter j. Hence, the Latin name Julius was originally written as Iulius. Furthermore, i also separates syllables while acting as a diphthong. An example is the city Troia pronounced Troy-ya.

v/u – the same with i, both a consonant and a vowel. The Romans only had the letter v, but in modern texts you will find written a v for the consonant and u for the vowel. Similar to the rules for i, v was pronounced as the modern English w. Although in the official names for Roman units, we will write using only v, for the pronunciations we will differentiate for you.

Okey, thanks Bobbin.

You forgot faster...

[fireblade]

Indeed, faster as well :)

The Pritanoi helmets look cute. I guess the Pritanoi would worship Rabbits instead of gods

hehe, actually I believe it's inspired from pikachu.

Very cool stuff, I admire the work put into this project. I wish the team was signed by a developer to produce their own game :)

[Maeran]

I personally find it an irony that the British ascribe horned helmets to Danish pirates who never wore the things. That helmet really was dredged up from a British river and was made by pre-Roman Britons. I'd consider it a parade piece, but am not one to complain.

[Vasiliyi]

Those Generals are stunning to look at.

... is it just me or does the roman general look like Russel crowe from gladiator?

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

The team did model the Roman general on him, yeah.

Si. Oui. Yes. Ja. Da.

[Leão magno]

Everything beautifull! Gourgeous Carthaginian General! But quite tired of staring I want to Play!

[Paltmull]

If I'm not mistaken, Kingdoms made it possible to use a unique model for the faction leader. I think the English king in the British Isles campaign wore a crown for example. If this is true, are you planning on using this feature for any factions?

I might be wrong though. It could be that those models are character-specific rather than used for any faction leader.
