we need another life of a soldier, I used to love those vids back in the day

[@tigervv6437]

For all future video's: It is "Prinkipes" in classical Latin. In general the Latin grapheme ⟨c⟩ is the Latin phone [k], which is always pronounced hard as k in sky, never soft as in cellar, cello, or social. ⟨k⟩ is a letter coming from Greek, but seldom written as such and generally replaced by c. Triarii for example would be pronounced with 3 times the same i-sound of ea in easy. Not Triari-eye.

[@PeGaiarsa]

Awesome info. Had no idea that k was a "greek" letter.

[@rubenheymans1988]

However no one is really 100% sure about this? And the language has been used / changed over 1000+ years. In the beginning no one even wrote down much spelling rules. So it doesn't really matter how you pronounce it because I can be correct ? Does this makes sense?

[@PeGaiarsa]

@@rubenheymans1988 yeah, I think it makes sense. I think most of the "correct" pronunciation of dead languages derives from the pronunciation of the child languages. For instance: "CH" in Italian always has a "K" sound. It's not irrational to argue that a "C" in Latin would sound like a "CH" in Italian, since Italian basically derived fully from Latin.

[@tigervv6437]

@@rubenheymans1988 Of course 100% sure no one will ever be, but there is a lot of evidence that suggests it was actually spoken as I summed up, amongst probably the elite, since there were many dialects as well. After extensive research a consensus has been reached among historians and classici that this is the most likely way it was/is pronouced and so is also taught to students when reading and speaking classical Latin. So there is a general rulebook, since many things are derivable (Isolated communities and dialects for example give good indication, like on Sicily they speak Italian with pronounciation much closer to classical Latin). Check out the Netflix series Barbarians. The classical Latin there is excellent.

[@rubenheymans1988]

@@tigervv6437 well yeah the 1000 + dialects too, my point is however you want to pronounce Latin isn't it always correct possibly? Or is that just ignorant thinking, im not into languages

Good job playing with the romans; the easy way to know if you use well Rome faction, is when the numbers of kills you make is bigger than a hundred kills, no matter how cheap or expensive are the roman units you used, because they have one of the best armys in game.

[@cat_goes_meow6294]

I noticed a few things about the defenders that might have contributed to Apollo doing so well: Carthage is a new player (he was mostly using fire ammo), Seleucid played passive against Arverni (which led to him being crushed), Sparta didnt help his allies until about 1/3 of the way through the battle, and Macedon got double teamed.

[@Adamdidit]

I think Sparta was trying to avoid getting doubled early because the Selucid passivity allowed two faction to hot multiple Spartan forces.

[@Darqshadow]

I'd have to disagree. Yes Rome doesn't have the best cavalry unit in the game but it has two very good spear units, Triarii and Auxiliaries, some of the best archers, and that classic medium to heavy infantry that stack bodies like cord wood. While I do see the appeal of Macedonia and the other Greeks, Rome is where it's at to me

Btw you don’t have to charge to make infantry throw their projectiles, just put them near your enemies, turn on fire at will, they will automatically throw.

[@danielseager-smithdanzo2345]

On the principes question. Both pronunciations can work. The hark k-like sound is probably closer to classical Latin used in the period. The soft c would be vulgar Latin (mediaeval). Classicists will also pronounce Cicero like "Kikero," or Tacitus "Takitus" for the same reason.

[@sirofsirs390]

Few ideas that popped into my head while watching this video! Be good if you could merge units mid battle. Would make for some interesting gameplay if you could betray and turn on allies mid battle!

one thing he could do is manage the units in pairs, while one is fighting the other is resting, throwing tired troops against fresh ones takes a toll

[@iljavermunt4365]

If push troops to go around the flank is that like bugging? I think its a must when attacking in siege but allot of defenders complain about it. But then also they just hold the line with 1 hoplite unit and dont support

[@PeGaiarsa]

I'm not sure if you mentioned this, but simply standing your Hastati near an enemy unit will have them firing their pila without the need to micro-manage charge orders.

[@dopedagoth1789]

HI i have a question, when i have melee troops with Pila's, i dont do the attack and stop attacking thing, i either disable the melee only attacking button so its a fire at button (you can do this by sellecting the troops with at least 1 range unit and then clicking on the attack button to change between mellee and range attack), or i just form them up with fire at will on, which will make them stand still, aim and then fire. why do people attack then where you run at the enemies? does this give an accuracy bonus?

[@dopedagoth1789]

the bits between (this) is cause melee troops cant swap between range and melee, UNLESS you do what i said there. i also noticed there were no double phalanxes, where you form up 2 units into eachother to double the attack and defense capabilities, i always do this with hoplites and pikes, the hoplites will absorb halve the range attacks and all of the mellee attacks, getting maybe 20 kills in a whole battle while the pikemen get hundreds of them. or is this just not done cause its kinda a dickmove? (note i never used any phalanx factions in online so i have never ruined any1's day with this :)

in antiquity the letter c was pronounced like an english k as in kraft. So principe was pronounced prinkipe. Caesar was pronounced similar to Kaisar. Cicero was pronounced like Kickero. Modern italian is different; if an i or e follows a c, it is pronounced like a “chi” or “che”, so it sounds like princheepe. Spanish and English each have their own take on how to pronounce the c.

the pronunciation of principes varies based on how you pronounce your latin in general, the sound of C in latin has changed throughout the years-- if you go by classical latin then it's always a hard c (this even applies to ch which is always pronounced like the ch in chemistry in classical latin), but in ecclesiastical latin it's quite different! basically, your pronunciation of it as "prinkipes" is the correct way to say it in classical latin i think
