Era of the Future Development

[Pentarctagon]

now we just wait for the next ageless era update i guess.

also, i know that the sea dwarves are not done yet, but are there any plans to add/remove any unit(s)? if not, i think i will start trying to make them more balanced them as well.

[Huston]

no the sea dwarves are complete we just need to finish the sprites.

[Mirion147]

I'll get to work on the remaining sprites as soon as possible. But I don't know when that is. It wont be long, but not right now. Maybe Wednesday?

As a general statement I'd like to not start on any further factions until decent amount of art is done for the Sea Dwarves (and 'cause I haven't yet decided what they should be.) Also, I don't know if this is fixed but the Sea Dwarves should all be male, no females.

And while the art is being done, perhaps we could come up with better names? For the Sea Dwarves and perhaps even the EotF. Although, the Era of Evolution is out Wesfreak, I think I've said that before.

[Pentarctagon]

cool, i didn't know that they were done yet. ill get to work and come up with some balancing ideas soon . as for new names, i don't have any ideas.

[wesfreak]

how bout after the fall? but this is assuming that wesnoth has just risen from a dark age. i think the name sea dwarves is fine though.

[Mirion147]

Sea Dwarves isn't fine. Turuk, got any more of those archaic names? Like Welkin? Only for Sea, Ocea, or Water? After the Fall doesn't work 'cause 1 it's not an "[name] era" or "era of [name]" And it just doesn't sound cool.

[Pentarctagon]

oh, right, my bad. thats what i meant to type . meant to type something else, then decided to delete it (but apparently forgot). what i meant to say was that Era of the Future is that bad. it says what the setting of the era is, and it even has a neat acronym to go with it.

[wesfreak]

Brunum is old english for water ( brook, stream or well water) but that sounds like burn and fire, so how bout Brinum?

aegflota is for seafarer and bæðweg is for sea. dweorg is for dwarf. i think i like the second choice best though.

i got this from this site: http://www.oldenglishtranslator.co.uk/



distant era?

[Mirion147]

I don't think brunum is that bad, although I prefer brimwylm, or draefend. Does anyone know what "of the sea/ocean" means in old english or some achaic language?

[wesfreak]

holmeg. some of its conjugations (which i don't really understand) are holmegu, holmegra and holmegum.

i think i like the last one best.

[Pentarctagon]

so it would be Brumun Holmegum?

[Huston]

or Holmegum Brumun?

[Pentarctagon]

wait...wouldnt that mean water sea or sea water, since Dweorg is dwarf?

PS- just updated the server versions with some grammar fixes for the welkin descriptions (mostly just things like flipped letters and extra spaces. i also made a description for the Moonlight Glider, since it had the same description as the Midnight Stalker.).

[wesfreak]

it doesn't necessarily have to be a litteral translation. it just has to be vaguely related+cool sounding. technically we can put a few english words in, if you think it's ok.

I like dweorg brunum or maybe dwarves of brunum (even though that would technically be dwarves of the of the sea), which makes brunum sound like a dwarvish clan name. but dweorg holmeg doesn't have the same ring to it.

sælic is also of the sea or marine, but that would be saelic dweorg, which i don't really like.

[Huston]

Zwerge is german for dwarves
could we do:
Zwerge sælic?
