Latin battle cries

Post by FabiusCunctator »

Has anyone noticed the battle cries in Latin that Roman troops in LA shout when you issue orders to them? It's a pretty cool detail.

There are several different versions. My somewhat rusty Latin skills have only permitted me to make out a couple of them. When you click on the troops to give a command, they sometimes say, "Quod mandatum, imperator? - which means, "What orders, general?" Then when you issue the order, they sometimes say, "Ad victoriam!" - "To victory!"

However, there are other battle cries that I haven't yet made out. (I've only been playing the game for a few days.) Has anybody else?

I could tell you but that would spoil the fun :)

Glad you are enjoying yourself!

Good, don't tell! But did you have a classicist to help you with the Latin? I'd be interested in learning more about the research that went into the game.
