    Ho hum

    The slaves, not to be confused with the Slavs, are a faction I haven't encountered in the game, so far. Were on the map do the slaves appear?

    Even though the words "slave" and "Slav" are thought to be related (many of the European peoples took their slaves from eastern Europe), I don't think that means we should automatically put them in the east European group, although that may very well be what we end up doing for now. First I need someone to tell me where on the map the slaves appear as a faction. Can they appear anywhere on the map?

    As for the Saxons, yes, they were a Germanic tribe, but hey, so were the Normans, and pretty much all of the peoples who colonized what we call England. I don't know if having the Saxons "babbling happily about the Reich" would be such a good idea. Not that it matters much, I mean, the tutorial campaign is over pretty quickly, after all.

    The aztecs can be separated from the mongols, but what language/accent would you rather have them speak? Mediterranean broken English?

    Sorry! I've confused the Slavs with the slaves!

    Then it is impossible to create a new accent group for the aztecs? I didn't know it!

    I think they're the Rebels, aren't they? If they are, you don't need to worry about accents as English Rebels speak with an English accent, French Rebels speak French etc.

    I don't know if having the Saxons "babbling happily about the Reich" would be such a good idea.
    Yay, you used my little phrase!

    You could keep them speaking Mongol-style English, even if you change the Mongol language to something more fitting.

    In rus (and other slavs) leng - slavs - translate like "glorius" )) not slave )) Same historics things it from "mongol" = "megaleon"(greeks) in traslate - great, glorius )) So ancient slavs = mongol )) May reccomend books like "New Hronologic" academic N. Fomenko )) i find same interesting gepotises in his book ))

    As for the medieval languages being incomprehensible - don't forget, modern-day hungarian is to most of us. The point of this project is to enhance immersion. A language that you can't understand will do this perfectly, and there's not much to be understood to begin with in this game, even when everyone is speaking English. Hopefully, we'll all learn something new making the mods. Haha
    The difference between modern Hungarian and medieval Hungarian is mostly the words, expressions a bit of grammar and the words you would use to address another person. I'm not encorouging you to use medieval Hungarian in the mod (even if you could find someone who could speak it with no problem), because it would be more "practical" to use modern Hungarian.

    Not modern Greek though. Although I don't know how much difference there is between modern Greek and medieval Greek. But the Byzantines definitely spoke some kind of Greek. They actually spoke Greek in MTW...

    Yeah... I knew ancient Greek was less similar to medieval Greek than modern Greek is... I wonder how much military expressions are still preserved in the Orthodox lithurgy, though... heh... anyway, glad to have you around.

    LOL what the hell, the italian soundpack has been downloaded 640 times, but the French one has only been downloaded... 85 times.

    Why the big difference? (the second most downloaded one is the Spanish soundpack, which has been downloaded 127 times. So even if the Italian soundpack has been clicked hundreds of times just for fun, why is the French soundpack so unpopular?)

    Ciao Bella! etc.

    Btw I think my mustache is making me look Italian for some reason.

    Wait a second, the funny glasses with the mustache and eyebrows are making me look like your avatar. Maybe that's why...
