Change emperor to padishah emperor

[Aramel]

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.

You can't just slap together two nouns in the nominative case, you barbarian! I would go with Imperator Spatialis (Space Emperor), Imperator Sideralis (Star Emperor), or Imperator Caelestis (Celestial Emperor).

High Emperor? Not a title that's ever actually been used but it would get across the idea of a leader that considers themselves an Emperor among Emperors.

Edit: 'Celestial Emperor' does have a nice ring to it.

Considered it, but a bit on the implied god-emperor side, innit?

 

[Ziffallo]

Even Padishah-Emperors bow to the Mushroom King!

Absolutely!!

 

[Dauntasa]

Or you could list his full title.

So it goes from "Emperor Steven" to "His Imperial Majesty Steven, first of his name, Emperor of Man, King of Centauri, Duke of Sol and Protector of Rigel"

Yeah, fair point. It's a tricky one to find something suitable for.

Thank you. Can't expect descendents of Scandza to be bothered too much by Roman grammar.

OK let's all agree that having the ability to customize ruler titles would be great (though I imagine it would have some problems), however i still stand by my suggestion, for the flavour, for the fact that it is a neat reference (to Dune), I mean come on the empire governments are already heavily influenced by Star Wars what's wrong whit a Dune reference.

As most people have said already, is hard to think something over Emperor, the word itselft, in all translations means King of kings, Ruler of ruler, Governor of governors.

Now the option of just adding more tings to the title could at least make ourselves feel better about the upgrade of our govern form. Like "His Imperial Majesty Ramdomis IV, Divine ruler of the Galactic empire, dark lord of the order of sacred space knights, herald of doom and guardian of the Stars"... but as some kind of pop up so no everyone need two screens to read the complete title every time they try to talk with your empire.

I prefer just Emperor, and Divine/God Emperor, those are amazing titles.

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".

You said it. D: D D: D

 

[Vasious]

Despotic Empire -> Star Empire

Despot -> Emperor

Maybe

 

[Duarte]

I'll be honest by this point i just want the devs to either say we can have custom titles, or say that will think about what title will be given to the Star empire.

Pun unintentional. This is what I get for hanging around the Blorgs for too long.


Remember kids, when you hang around the Blorg, good things happen.

I am for Galactic Emperor, it has a nice ring to it (the same can't be said for Padishah emperor) and is suitably grandiose. The Padishah emperor title does not make much sense either, reference or not, seeing as it is basically you saying [turkish] emperor emperor, no different than kaiser emperor, or Tsar emperor.

Just make the starting title King and then upgrade it to Emperor.

Emperor is a bit grandiose for a title you just start the game with, anyway. I mean the Spiritualist version starts out as prophet and doesn't get to be a God-Emperor until later, so the secular version should have to work up to Emperor as well.

You are probably the first I have ever read writing that calling a person emperor when he is the absolute ruler of his whole planet a bit much.

Thank you. Can't expect descendents of Scandza to be bothered too much by Roman grammar.

Sweden or Norway?

How does Padishah Emperor not have a nice ring to it ?!?! (honest question, since the nice ring was one of the reason for the suggestion).

As I said it is basically saying "emperor emperor", not even "emperor of emperors" (which would have been a nice title) were the Padishah part of the title only makes it a mouthful without actually contributing to it.

EDIT: By the way isn't Padishah an indian title?

Persian origin, was used by the Mughals.

 

[TheDungen]

Imperator Rex ( I know it doesn't make sense) Galactic Emperor sounds good to me though. Or just the plain old Emperor.

Imperator Rex works, commander of kings. The grammar is wrong of course.

As I said it is basically saying "emperor emperor", not even "emperor of emperors" (which would have been a nice title) were the Padishah part of the title only makes it a mouthful without actually contributing to it.

EDIT: By the way isn't Padishah an indian title?

Turkish. The indian version is samrat chrakvat, the persian is shahshahshah (unsure about spelling), litterally shah over shahs.

 

[Caspoi]

That is what I thought, people mentioned it as a turkish title but when I was thinking about I distinctly remembered that when I read about the title Shanshah that Padishah was a title that would come to be used in India.
