    Default Russians are funny!

    I recently started campaign with Russia. What i found was so funny. Names of Russian generals are sometimes inadequate. Here are some examples: Zaiats The Wrathful (One of my generals. Zaiats in russian means rabbit.), Chort (Another general. chort in russian means devil), Kuritsa (General. In russians means chicken. ), Kozel (My diplomat, whose name in russian means goat.)


    I'm from Latvia (that is next to Russia, so i know russian very well), so playing as russians in this game is soooo funny.

    Funnier still is that in Russian these terms are generally derogatory - kozel and chort are used in the same sense as "bastard" or "****er". Zaiats and Kuritsa aren't as often used but would generally imply cowardice.

    Whoever was asked to help with Russian names in M2TW must have a sense of humor
