"Roma Victor"

I noticed that in the decription of the roman military occupation building, the grammatically incorrect "Roma Victor" is used, but in the taunts they shout you can clearly hear "Roma Victrix". Perhaps your latin phrases should be proofread by someone knowledgeable about latin grammar.

Perhaps. It's a very recent addition and has not gone through the editing process. I hope it didn't ruin your experience.

Hey, if you make a perfect mod we can't but give perfectionist criticism! :laughing:

Perhaps our english phrases should be proofread by someone knowledgeable about english grammar as well. :hmmm:

By all means, but I have not discovered any glaring errors in that department.

Hehe. Yeah, our chief text editor was sort of conscripted into becoming one of the mod directors.

So does this mean my latin voicemod is correct about "roma victrix" or not?

Teleklos made many of those latin translations for the voicemod.

As far as I have been able to find out, victrix is correct because Roma is feminine, and victor is wrong (I have this prejudice that it has been popularised because they used the phrase "Roma Victor!" in "Gladiator").

Wouldn't it be "Roma Victa"?
If you look at the Legion name 'Valeria Victrix', it translates to "Valliant and Victorious"... Doesn't seem to fit right...
