Forumers get a mention in the back of the manual (Thank you too Paradox)

[Talmonious]

In the back of the US manual (all of the different other ones too i'm sure), we get all get mentioned.

"Special Thanks
All the people at our forum."

I'd just to like to say thank you too to the great staff that gives us these games. Paradox has some great folks who often go above and beyond to satisfy the customers. You all have my respect.

A mix of Italian and Swedish. Djurgården is a Football (soccer you Yanks call it) and Ice hockey team.

Forza.... well ask an Italian.

"Forza" is a word to give "strenght" to your team...
it is used by the fans in football everytime...

More usually it's Forza Azzuri! Roughly translated it's "Let's Go Rangers" if you're a NY hockey fan.

An Italian girl spent about 20 minutes telling me how Forza could not be translated into English. After that I realized how easy it is for an Italian to write an opera; when you have that much passion and descriptive power to explain the symbolic and poetic attributes of word roughly translated as "go," how could you not

The rangers sure could use some forza at the moment....

Though Paradox might be real cool and all, they sadly have no idea which team is the best .

Yes, he stole us also the capability to incite our national players shouting "Forza Italia"..... We now have to say "Forza Azzurri" (Azzurro is the colour of our shirts, light blue).

However, literally "Forza" means "Strength", but in these cases it can be translated as incitement, like "Let's go!"

I feel so special!

Somehow this reminds me of the credits to "Reign of Terror" a RTS made by some obscure Swedish company, which included a Special Thanks to Ingvar Carlson

Thanks for that I had always thought that Azzurri was something specific about the national team, but it's just a colour? I'm o

AFAIK It is about the national team when it comes after the word "Forza"

it's like Pkunzipper said, they call it the "Azzurra", because they have light blue shirts -> Azzurro = Light Blue. Plain simple.
When you want to give strenght to the italian national team, you shout: "¡¡¡Forza Azzurra!!!"...

 

[unmerged(13292)]

They mentioned us in the manual thanking us? *sniff* brings a tear to my eye

 

[Generalisimo]

if you look at the credits, you will see the same too at the end.

No, I think it's "Lega Nord" - "Northern League".

But "Forza Italia" might be their slogan, tho'
