Sounds like you have a handle on what is going on with this game. Good on you. I haven't really had time to look through all your stuff or explore, but it seems like you have some solid ideas.

I just got Rome (gold) VV off GG and I the thing that is bugging me is some of the stupid Monty Python Latin names for the Romans. The "Blessus" joke is fine the first time out, but after a few goes its a little annoying. Has anyone done any historical work and put together a historical mod, just for the basic game?

On similar lines all the Cartheginians look the same as the Romans. Any work on that?

I am not looking for a full mod right now, but would like a few tweeks until I understand it a little better. Any help for me?

You mean other then the fact that Publius Blessus, for instance, was a real Roman name?

You should post this in the Rome-User Modification section NOT the Imperium subsection.

Heh. Seemed like this was where it was going on. Like as in any activity at all. Guess not.

Anyway, its better than all the shouting and screaming going on over in the HOI III forum. Maaaan. These people are wild.

Well actually, playing Tylis, I have had several people named Unhygienix. Feels a bit silly to me, although I am not an expert on Celtic names at all.

Well, I assume it's a joke - in the sense that it was probably meant to be amusing - but I assure you, it shows up once in a while. A certain Unhygienix Marganid might even become our next Archon. I hope that's not going to make the plagues even worse >_>

Indeed, I'll be most upset if we have names like Getafix and Vitalstatistix in EU Rome

Well it may be real. Apparently, Plubius Blessus is a guy who is referenced once in an obscure Roman text in a passage about schoolboy humour written by Marcus Fabius Quintilianus, and not something from a rejected Monty Python sketch.

Sorry to upset, but:

While I understand that getting authentic names may be difficult given the lack of written records outside of that recorded by others. But atleast there could've been speculating and made up ones, and not comicbooks.

Hehe, looks interesting.
Thanks for the bump, I had totally forgotten. The cartoon names are removed from cultures.txt now, including Asterix, Getafix and Obelix.

It gives me an idea to make a silly names mod for greek and roman culture groups

The New roman Emporer, Equus Dingus, interacts with the new Greek Basileus, Golos o Megalos
