By the AI ​​called Constantine (which goes from Constantine I to Constantine XI)…

But it can be any Constantine, not the necessarily the first. In any case, that AI name should probably be changed, it’s a bit silly

Just change Irish to Celts and the example works perfectly.

[Temudhun]

Yeah, if you don’t use the same exemple then the exemple that wasn’t used work.

@voidpointer131

Gaels = Celts
Welsh = part of the Britons
Bretons = part of the Franks

It’s weird, but I’m fine with that since the middle ages were certainly not the apex of celtic historical relevance.

I want them to at least have the Woad Raider be replaced with something real that belongs in the middle ages.

@Atsavin

Honestly this is the fault of the successors of Ensemble Studios. It was suppose to be just umbrella civs. Now we have this weird mix of umbrella civs and specific civs. I just want some consistency in this game.

Umbrella civs suck. Burgundians aren’t a good alternative, but I never liked Umbrella civs.

Goths in particular are basically Goth in name only, because Huskarl isn’t a Goth term and they speak a latter German language (seems at least the Huskarl model took a bit of inspiration from actual Goth soldiers, but I’m still bothered by the unit name).

I don’t like umbrella civs either but Ensemble Studios’ successor need to make it consistent across the board since they started messing with formula. Everyone needs a unique castle and there has to be regional monks (which they have in scenario editor).

@DukeOfLorraine

Celts cover both Scots & Irish.

So they are actually to be renamed to Gaels.

By the way, something similar for the Italians. They should change their language to Medieval Tuscan, it doesn’t make much sense that they also use Latin.

Absolutely. As an Italian, I can tell you that they should speak Volgare (the language of the vulgar), while the monks in Latin.

Dante (1265-1321), Petrarca (1304-1374) and Boccaccio (1313-1375) all contributed to the birth of the language that is now spoken in Italy. But even earlier, there is at least one work by Andrea da Grosseto (1268) that translates some texts from Latin into Volgare.

Languages spoken in the Eastern Empire during the reign of Justinian, towards 565

… and after the reign of Basil II in 1025

I still think the Byzantines should be bilingual, especially since they represent the early centuries of the Middle Ages faze.

If they would represent the High or Late Middle Ages faze of the Empire, then yes it should be only Greek.

Regarding the Italians, you are right, they should speak some medieval version of an Italian dialect. Not sure which one should be chosen, between Tuscan, Venetian, Lombard or Genovese ones.

[SchwarzeGarde49]

Although I have no idea how the thread evolved into this topic, the byzantines could speak something like koine greek, mixed with armenian and slavic loanwords. I think it’s a good compromise however i don’t speak greek so i might be wrong

Koine Greek
