"Looking back..." nicknames

xotox · May 5, 2002, 00:28

I give up.

I have now spent too many hours looking for something, so now I ask for your help.

Does anyone know where I could find a list of all the 'nicknames' for the "Looking back on your reign, your people forever remember you as..." screen? You know, that screen that shows the Civilization score at the top? I'm just wondering if anyone could help me out here...

I'm fairly sure this is hard coded in the .exe file ...

erm, no.... game.txt

If you mean the 'STYOM Forkbeard', 'STYOM the Magnificent'... etc... list that appears when you retire, why not just download a saved game from one of the Hall of Fame boards? The entire list of leader titles will show when you retire from a high scoring game.

That's assuming you can't find the list in game.txt. It's probably there, but I haven't looked.

STYOM

Ecthelion Weggelobt?

What do those mean?

Scouse Gits · May 9, 2002, 02:48

A threadjack - similar in root to a hijack or carjack suggests that one or more posters have sidetracked a thread to another topic - my post was enquiring whether Weggelobt (which I ?think? literally translates as 'lost way') was German for threadjack.
SG[1] because there are three of us ...

Nope, what I said doesn't mean "threadjack" or anything like that in German. It's a word that is basically used when people get promoted to higher positions because they're not longer wanted in their current position (incompetent, unpopular, etc.) but can't be kicked out of their offices. This is the procedure that made for the whole European Parliament, an I thought that was what happened to that person mentioned in the post before my ... post.

Thanks, Ecthelion - my German is very rusty

Sethos I. (or Seti I.), Throne name Men-maat-re, Forever is the justice of Re. 1291-1278 BC ,son of Ramesses I., father of

Ramses II /english Ramesses II., Throne name User-maat-re Setep-en-re, Powerful is the justice of Re, Chosen by Re, 1279-1212 BC
Ramesses II. was followed by his 13th son, Merenptah

Both pharaos from the XIX. Dynasty. See [http://touregypt.net/19dyn03.htm], for example

Thanks Ramses - very interesting but on the wrong thread - if you would like to start a "What does your handle signify?" thread - that might be neat - we have not had one for some time
