Civilization V Leader | Dido of Carthage

  • Опубліковано 18 чер 2012
  • It is difficult to judge a legendary figure such as Dido (c. 800 BC), for her achievement in the founding of mighty Carthage still remains steeped in myth and mystery. Despite the lore surrounding her life, Dido's reputation as a cunning leader lives on in history and her tale continues to garner interest to this day.

      @@272arshan That definitely was not an Israeli accent. Besides the pronunciation of Resh, shes is speaking much more “blocky” and less smooth sounding if that makes sense. If you spoke Hebrew like that in Israel or to any other Jews around the world, they would probably be confused as to why you sound like that unless your a beginner reading from a book.

    So as it turns out, Dido has a night sky in her background, and is dressed in white robes, because in Roman legend she was associated with a protective moon goddess. Dido's music is also based on a hymn about a moon goddess.In Shakespeare's the Merchant of Venice, Dido is said to have waited for her lover (Aeneas) on the sea shore at night, "waving a willow branch" or some such.
    As for the roses, they are an allusion to her (ultimately tragic) love for Aeneas. Kinda cool!

I give her whatever she demands without asking: GPT, luxuries, joining her in declaring war on others, etc. She almost always backstabs me even when I obey her every request, but I still love her.

      That's because they got an Israeli Jewish voice actor, to mix things up. She gave her an Israeli accent and Israeli pronunciation (modern Hebrew). You know- because every other eastern civilization in the game was basically Arabic themed (at least the voice acting).

      Phoenicians were never called Phoenician - It means "land of purple" in Greek, and is a term that historically was only used by Europeans. You can pretty easily google it and find out that they were all Canaanite, and all spoke the same language and had the same origins.

    indeed, the most close language to it is Hebrew from all existing modern languages. It uses almost same roots for words, and if you speak Hebrew you can understand fairly a lot . Grammar structure, sounds and many words are almost similar. (like if you know Russian you will understand partially Western Slavic Languages like Czech )

He is literally complying with his own law, that he set down, specifically to accommodate the massive majority of Aramaic speakers in his empire. Old Persian was reserved entirely for inscriptions. Modern Persian (of which Farsi is a dialect) did not come about until about *1800* *Bastarding* *years* after Dariūš died.
      Also, Firaxis has always been a bit bumbling with language choice in civ anyway, given that the majority of Civ players are anglophones (and it's fairly common knowledge now that the majority of anglophones are frustratingly monolingual).

      ShadowbladeZZ Hannibal wasn't a leader, he was a general. Dido *made* Carthage.

      ZaqueHunzahua Original Phoenician/sidonians were of hamitic origin. That part of the world was darker than it is today. Sidonians were black in origin. Carthage was established by black people after establishing trading routes across the mediteranean.
