Change emperor to padishah emperor

[Duarte]

So the wiki filled out some more of the advanced governments among which is Star Empire and advanced for of the Despotic empire, however unlike all other governments the ruler title doesn't change it is still just emperor, there fore I suggest that be changed to padishah emperor.

Shaddam the 4th? Dune?

It's kind of hard to beat "Emperor" as a secular majestic title, because it essential means ruler of a large diverse realm or king of kings (or at least, above king).

Examples of other culture's high titles are mostly equivalent in meaning.

The only thing I could think of would be something like "Space Emperor", but that'd be silly. Very silly. Nobody would want that. Nope... [shifty eyes]

Imperatore Spaciore

Or, alternatively, something actually Latin, and not gibberish I just made up.

 

[Admiral Howe]

But Padishah is just the Persian/Turkish term for emperor. Are you wanting the term to be Emperor emperor? Emperor^2?

Imperatore Spaciore

I think you want either Spatium Imperator Or Tractus Imperator. Though someone with more than one term of Latin would be needed to clean that up.

I don't know, can't think of much that can trump "Emperor" for title. Being the Caesar of Rome makes you the god of the civilized world. Being the Emperor of China makes you the overseer of all that is under heaven. And these are petty planetary kingdoms, now imagine someone who owns many planets being called "Emperor". THAT is prestige.

It's not like the oligarchic, republican, or democratic titles. There isn't really much that beats "Emperor", while you can think of upgrades to "Dictator" or "Overseer" or "Chairman" or "President" or "Chancellor".

Spatium Imperator Or Tractus Imperator

Yes, that does sound significantly better.

And that makes sense, when you think about it. An eEmperor is someone even kings must bow down to - a very rare condition in history.

What would be cool would be to just have custom titles. If you want a cool, unique, and specific title, name the title like you can rename your empire. I would like to change my title to Archduke or High Lama.

 

[Admiral Howe]

High Lama

Or the Dalai Llama...chief monk of the Andes.

Nevermind. GIMP is fucking with me.

Wouldn't Galactic Emperor make more sense than padishah emperor? It's more neutral than the latin example or the padishah suggestion. Another possibility is to leave it as emperor and call the despotic empire rulers one of the original emperor words (huangdi, tennou, kaiser, imperator, padishah).

 

[Steelcan]

I believe you are referring to the God Emperor

 

[Duarte]

oh come on, guys it's a Dune reference, plus it just seems weird that (so far) all other advanced governments have different titles. My reasoning is this the despotic empire-star empire governments give bonuses to slave labour (which can be equated with serfdom since you cant actually trade them) the only feudal like universe I know of is Dune, I think it's a good way to give it some flavour.

Why does Stellaris have to copy other space templates? Emperor works fine, its an English word, why throw in a Turkish word... It'll be like using Kaiser or Tsar.... If you're playing the game in Turkish then yeah I guess it'll work...

I agree with this. Custom titles would go a long way towards making your race and empire feel unique.

 

[gharzad]

Maybe instead of changing the title for the advanced government they could change the starting title?

It doesn't get much better than Emperor, so maybe the base government leader could be Dictator or Imperator or something similar instead?
