I disagree. These tangible backgrounds limit your imagination far too much. When you play as a Civ, you're supposed to be living out some alternate fantasy using real life figures and cultures, like making the French desert-dwellers, or making the Mayans space-age conquerors, etc. It's too off-putting if, for example, the Mongols in your game live in a desert area, but then when you speak to their leader, he's suddenly standing in a huge green grassy steppe.

Argenis Maldonado Exactly, but the Byzantines considered themselves to BE the Empire of Caesar. It's more to distinguish them from the Holy Roman Empire or the Roman Catholic Church, both of which existed around the same time.
@@jeune_turc9404the Even the Ottomans always called the Greeks of the former Byzantine Empire as "Rums" (= Romans), the term Byzantine Empire was coined by the Germans 100 years after the fall of Constantinople, until then it was called either Eastern Roman Empire or "Vasileion ton Romaion" (= Kingdom of the Romans).
I miss the Civ 5 leader screens. They were so artistic and well thought out, there were so many interesting little details that gave you a sense of who these leaders were and what they stood for. It was done so well that you could tell what a leader thought of himself/herself by the place they chose to meet you. Like how the Arab guy met you in his garden, and had books right in front of him, as if he was reading just before he met you. Then there was Theodara of Byzantium who was literally just laying in her sheets as she talked to you, as if she didn't think you mattered at all, and Ramesses II, Elizabeth, or Sejong who sat in their thrones above you, and so far away from you too, as if he/she were a god, and you were just a lowly peasant. Fucking Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon met you in his throne room, that was dark as fuck, and when you meet him, he asks if you are "another idiot sent here to waste my time," giving you a foreboding sense that this guy is not to be messed with. On the other side of the spectrum, Pedro II of Brazil, who was sitting down in front of a table in his study like he just wanted to have a peaceful across-table discussion with you; the guy treated you like an equal. Gandhi was the same way, meeting you out in front of the sea...before he nuked your capital. Montezuma on the other hand, meets you in front of his people, so that everyone can see your discussion with him, you can hear them react to your actions behind you, and there are skulls etched into the wall behind him, giving you a sense that Montezuma's diplomacy is done completely through intimidation. Genghis Khan meets you in a full suit of armor in front of his war camp, like he was planning a conquest before his meeting with you. It's a shame Civ 6 reduces the backgrounds into just painted canvas's that you can barely even see, it downplays the character of these people, doesn't really show you who these leaders were as well as Civ 5 did. At least the animation is better in 6.
I like how they used the ancient dead languages for rulers like Ashurbanipal, but it'd be really cool if they had the speakers of living languages speaking the stages of their particular language that they actually spoke in real life. Like Wu Zetian speaking Middle Chinese or something.
They kinda did it with William I of the Netherlands. While his Dutch probably isn't the same as the Dutch they actually spoke back then, it's still an "older" known version of Dutch and not the same as modern Dutch.
They did that for Theodora. She speaks Medieval Greek with archaisms (actual Medieval Greek is pretty indistinguishable from Modern Greek, but high classes would use archaisms in their speech ~similar to Greece of modern times, actually~ which is done here).
That's because Nebucchadnezzar is presented in the Bible as having gone mad during his last years on the throne. It's not known how close that is to historical truth.
Yeah, yet in the paraguayan war, even with the assunsion under control, he ordered the troops to continue fighting until they could capture and kill Solano Lopes, that resulted, in some researches, on more than 80% of the male population of Paraguay killed
@@KBShow-bw4lj As Vishnu Padman said, Coptic is the modern descendant of the Egyptian languages and is still spoken today. I don't think getting a Coptic Speaker would be much more difficult than finding a Mayan or Aztec speaker. Not to mention that at least some forms of Ancient Egyptians have been reconstructed pretty well, you can even buy Grammar Books, so It would have been great to ask an Egyptian scholar for a (rough) translation and pronunciation guide (which wouldn't be near accurate considering the Egyptians didn't write their vocals, but still).
I love how Moctezuma's people are actually there to hear the dialogue between you and him. Not like the others, who keep it a private affair. They even cheer and boo accordingly.
It is incredible how much effort is invested in those animations. They are simply perfect. I hope Civ 7 will bring back the more realistic chacter models and backgrounds, as it is here.
@@lemmingtonofficial You know that only 0,43% of Brazilians are descendants of those who were killed by Europeans, right? I myself am some kind of Italian-Portuguese.
@@lemmingtonofficial Brazil is only ranked 13th in homicide rates per 100,000 inhabitants, but has the highest absolute number of deaths because of the high population If the population of Brazil were 20 million inhabitants, the absolute number of homicides would be around 5,000
If I were to change what he says, it would be this: "Fucking shit. I lost to a pathetic noob? well fuck this shit, I'm out." It sounds too bland I think.
Dido behaves like an angry wife when you declare war to her She is like "you never do anything around the house! I clean, I cook, I do everything!" but babe, the guys will come over to see the game "are you kidding!?"
I love how Harun al-Rashid is actually really nice speaking. In many games muslims are shown as angry and aggressive humans while this game shows the khalif as a nice person. I like how he just like: ***AHMAK***
I mean he died pretty quickly didn't he? If I recall correctly he wasn't that much younger than the prophet... Unless I'm confusing him with a later caliph
If Mehmed was to attack with the same force he had, but at Theodora's time, the 6th century, he'd probably lose. The city's defences were in much better condition, the defending army was far larger, and, even if the city falls, Turks couldnt keep it because Byzantium was fairly large then and could take it back easily. So, if we put this in a real historical scenario, she has no reasons to be worried
Nice work, pal. I would like to point out that the Pedro II of Brazil speaks "Old-Fashioned Rio de Janeiro accent", as it differs heavily from the language spoken across Brazil nowadays, even in Rio.
O dublador até tentou mas falhou, é claro que Dom Pedro não pronunciava "DEFINITIVAMENTCHI". seria mais parecido como se fala em alguns lugares do nordeste, "DEFINITIVAMENTÍ" aliás a dublagem no geral deveria evitar isso mas principalmente aquela mania estranha de colocar um som de J nas palavras com DI como DIPLOMA, DIAMANTE; serem ditos como DJIPLOMA, DJIAMANTCHI. Sério isso não faz o menor sentido.
Felix Martono It varies between the real translation and like 2 others so it isn't the same ever time you meet the leader. If you play against the same civs a lot of times and know what the real translation is, you will notice that it will appear some times when you discover them. The real translation is always in the subtitles (at least in my games) the first time I ever discover them in a game of Civ every time I reinstall... so they aren't lazy, they actually put more stuff in to vary your games.
+Jhon Pittsburg Because the words and phrases that the leaders are actually speaking themselves sound less awkward. They're written differently for English speakers mainly to avoid any misunderstandings of traditional and colloquial phrases in the particular language.
It’s crazy too because the art in the unit designs and map and buildings are amazing, but the diplomacy screens feel so bland. I doubt they’ll be able to fix them in time though, which is a shame since I think good diplomacy screens do alter how interested I am in the other civs around me.
as much as i love the expressiveness in the civ 6 animations/expressions, and think the voice acting is for the most part better, theres something about the atmosphere of civ 5's screens that is far superior. the way the music and whole vibe changes depending on whether you're friendly or at war is just, MWAH, beautiful. even the details in the music like the lacrymosa motifs in austria's theme is fucking mystical, i love it
I love how Nebuchadnezzar flinches and drops his chalice in his intro, like he didn't even see you until you startled him. XD Wonder how long was he sitting on his throne drinking before then?
I love how the Aztecs are such bloodthirsty warmongers that having war declared on them makes them cheer in excitement, and any attempts at peace or diplomatic negotiation make them boo like a circus audience. It’s so ludicrously funny 😂
I dont't believe everything he said, just the parts I agree with. But then again he was probably just weird and assumed that everyone else was as weird as him in the same way.
He was driven insane for 7 years due to his pride however when regaining his sanity he humbled before God. That's a thing from the bible, or at least an interpretation. Anyway's hope that helped! :)
THEFareday I’ve heard that this is actually true. He slowly went insane and started drinking heavily. There is even reports of him eating grass, as he thought the gods turned him into a cow. No wonder the Neo Babylonian Empire was so weak after his death, their last powerful ruler couldn’t make good decisions for the last years of his life.
7:21 When you search on the internet what to say after getting defeated Chrome: "Despite my best efforts ,you have defeated me. Perhaps now I can find some peace" Bing: "Monster, Who the hell are you to destroy my greatness?"
Lord Santisaur YES! SOMEONE ELSE HEARD IT. Whenever I meet him in Civ, I'm just thinking about how funny it would be if he says "I did not have sexual relations with that woman!" xD
He was known as the Hueyi Tlatoani (Great Speaker) at the time of Cortez's conquest, meaning he was not only ruler of a large part of land, but also would deliver speeches to his people. He, in particular was seen as the almighty monarch of the Mexica(Aztec) people, even a god at a point. The people booing/cheering are indeed the people listening to the council of 2 leaders, responding accordingly to what the Hueyi Tlatoani dictates
@@Lobito-qz9pz Correct me if I am wrong, but Moctezuma I wasnt yet considered to be god, I think. They were only godified sometime after the death of Tlacaelel.
Nebuchadnezzar (don't know if I spelled that right XD) intrigues me in this, he seems to be mentally ill but mystical at the same time. I heard or read somewhere that in the ancient world people drunk a lot of alcohol, rotting meat, lived in very hot weather and may have consumed mind altering drugs. From what I gather these people were possibly high tripping 24/7, what they called the Gods were not abstract deities far away from anyone's reach but literally walking among them as mass delusions, shame it's all gone and nobody can really know what went down in those days.
way2tehdawn It's interesting that in Bible (Book of Daniel) it is mentioned that Nebuchadnezzar II went insane for 7 years after boasting his achievements and was humbled by God. He left his palace and went to live in the wild. After 7 years he restored his sanity and built mighty city of Babylon, where he died to old age. Daniel 4:23 - 4:37 (prepare for long text) _""Your Majesty saw a holy one, a messenger, coming down from heaven and saying, 'Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump, bound with iron and bronze, in the grass of the field, while its roots remain in the ground. Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven; let him live with the wild animals, until seven times pass by for him.'_ _"This is the interpretation, Your Majesty, and this is the decree the Most High has issued against my lord the king:_ _You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox and be drenched with the dew of heaven. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes._ _The command to leave the stump of the tree with its roots means that your kingdom will be restored to you when you acknowledge that Heaven rules._ _Therefore, Your Majesty, be pleased to accept my advice: Renounce your sins by doing what is right, and your wickedness by being kind to the oppressed. It may be that then your prosperity will continue."_ _All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar._ _Twelve months later, as the king was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon,_ _he said, "Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?"_ _Even as the words were on his lips, a voice came from heaven, "This is what is decreed for you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your royal authority has been taken from you._ _You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes."_ _Immediately what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from people and ate grass like the ox. His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird._ _At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever. His dominion is an eternal dominion; his kingdom endures from generation to generation._ _All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: "What have you done?"_ _At the same time that my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor were returned to me for the glory of my kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne and became even greater than before._ _Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble."_ Bible is not the only evidence about his insanity, there are some historical texts, but because Babylon was really old, they are hard to find and you have to know where to look.
Eh, there's so many factors that can go into the weirdness of past eras. Babylon is certainly an interesting ancient city though. I really wish the Hanging Gardens weren't lost to history. Now we have to make do with the sky gardens of Korea.
@@thebel89 well he wouldn't be the only example of an insane leader, there are many examples in history. Living a cloistered life,being the product of generations of incest, not to mention the constant scheming against siblings/nobles tends to do wonders to someone's mental and physical health.
@SmaLeS He did? That's hilarious lol. Edit: I do notice that this is the Egyptian dialect of Arabic, unlike how Harun al-Rashid speaks standard Arabic. Still, I'm not sure how they thought that through
@@xanderjacobs6176Yeah. And those kind of crap made the game less enjoyable. Had it been an actually good looking cartoon (anime-ish), then it'll be fine. Instead we get ugly caricatures. So yes, they suck.
I like the way that all the leaders speak their native language because this adds to the authenticity of the historical figures. Doing so makes it HISTORICALLY ACCURATE. Whichever company made this game really dedicated themselves to it in terms of linguistics but on top of all representating different cultures as uniquely as they could.
If I remember correctly, he decides he's a cow and eats grass and crawls around on all fours for a little bit. Then just decides he's over it and comes back. I may be wrong, though. I don't read the bible all that much.
Fawad Karim Different countries can share stereotypes. Furthermore, more exists to British culture and history than the tyrannical aspects of the British Empire
@E M M I E W. 2 years ago... so this might also be a bit late ;) . The Vikings and Norse People in general are also stereotyped as only Brutal Marauders, when in fact the Norse (Viking was just a professional, not an ethnicity) were very cleanly, law-biding people, hence you get something like the Danelaw. Once settled in England there were attempts to make peace with the local Anglo-Saxons. One should also not forget that the English of that time, the Anglo-Saxons, also invaded the Island and were just as aggressive with the local Celtic people as the Vikings were.
All leaders has an extra voiceline that are not shown in this video. When you go to the trade section and make an offer, there is a button called ''What will you give me for this?". When you press that button the leader will make an additional voiceline that is not simmular to the other voicelines.
Dido's last line is mistranslated. It is actually "You are dishonest". BTW, I absolutely love Dido because I can understand most of what she says. It's so similar to Hebrew (not just because of the accent, obviously).
Felix Martono You never added the caption... I actually came back here because I finally understood what the heck she was saying at the end of her "Declared War on Me" speech, 12:38, which is translated as "You *earned* the animosity of Carthage by your *greed*" here. For quite a while I had been trying to figure out what her last word was, since it sounds nothing like any root connected with any Semitic word for "Greed". I couldn't make it out. Then yesterday I finally realized that the line is simply *mistranslated*, and it was misleading me: It's not "greed" she's talking about at all, it's "exploration". This fits excellently with her use of the word "Gilita" ("you've discovered") at the beginning of the line, which was previously just a strange word to use in that context. So the full sentence is this: *"You've discovered the wrath of Carthage in your exploration"*. You can flip the order to have it make more sense in English: *"In your exploration, you've discovered the wrath of Carthage"*.

Like how the Arab guy met you in his garden, and had books right in front of him, as if he was reading just before he met you. Then there was Theodara of Byzantium who was literally just laying in her sheets as she talked to you, as if she didn't think you mattered at all, and Ramesses II, Elizabeth, or Sejong who sat in their thrones above you, and so far away from you too, as if he/she were a god, and you were just a lowly peasant. Fucking Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon met you in his throne room, that was dark as fuck, and when you meet him, he asks if you are "another idiot sent here to waste my time," giving you a foreboding sense that this guy is not to be messed with. On the other side of the spectrum, Pedro II of Brazil, who was sitting down in front of a table in his study like he just wanted to have a peaceful across-table discussion with you; the guy treated you like an equal. Gandhi was the same way, meeting you out in front of the sea...before he nuked your capital. Montezuma on the other hand, meets you in front of his people, so that everyone can see your discussion with him, you can hear them react to your actions behind you, and there are skulls etched into the wall behind him, giving you a sense that Montezuma's diplomacy is done completely through intimidation. Genghis Khan meets you in a full suit of armor in front of his war camp, like he was planning a conquest before his meeting with you.
It's a shame Civ 6 reduces the backgrounds into just painted canvas's that you can barely even see, it downplays the character of these people, doesn't really show you who these leaders were as well as Civ 5 did.
At least the animation is better in 6.
I like how they used the ancient dead languages for rulers like Ashurbanipal, but it'd be really cool if they had the speakers of living languages speaking the stages of their particular language that they actually spoke in real life. Like Wu Zetian speaking Middle Chinese or something.
Sadly they didn't do it with the Egyptian Leader, they could have either used Coptic or even Middle Egyptian.
They kinda did it with William I of the Netherlands. While his Dutch probably isn't the same as the Dutch they actually spoke back then, it's still an "older" known version of Dutch and not the same as modern Dutch.
They did that for Theodora. She speaks Medieval Greek with archaisms (actual Medieval Greek is pretty indistinguishable from Modern Greek, but high classes would use archaisms in their speech ~similar to Greece of modern times, actually~ which is done here).
I love how the leaders act. The way they talk and act are exactly how I would picture them.

I think Nebuchadnezzar was quite mad and delusional especially at the later stages of his life. I'm not sure.
spiritfired He drank himself to death
Wasn't he the one that went crazy and ate grass like a goat? Or was that a different one?
Seviari that was him
I love how the Babylonian dude was just like _'Oh well, I'm sure you know what you're doing.'_ 😂
That's because Nebucchadnezzar is presented in the Bible as having gone mad during his last years on the throne. It's not known how close that is to historical truth.

You could use Coptic speakers maybe. It doesn't have to be 100% historically accurate, just immersive enough.
@@KBShow-bw4lj As Vishnu Padman said, Coptic is the modern descendant of the Egyptian languages and is still spoken today. I don't think getting a Coptic Speaker would be much more difficult than finding a Mayan or Aztec speaker.
Not to mention that at least some forms of Ancient Egyptians have been reconstructed pretty well, you can even buy Grammar Books, so It would have been great to ask an Egyptian scholar for a (rough) translation and pronunciation guide (which wouldn't be near accurate considering the Egyptians didn't write their vocals, but still).

If Mehmed was to attack with the same force he had, but at Theodora's time, the 6th century, he'd probably lose. The city's defences were in much better condition, the defending army was far larger, and, even if the city falls, Turks couldnt keep it because Byzantium was fairly large then and could take it back easily. So, if we put this in a real historical scenario, she has no reasons to be worried

Nice work, pal. I would like to point out that the Pedro II of Brazil speaks "Old-Fashioned Rio de Janeiro accent", as it differs heavily from the language spoken across Brazil nowadays, even in Rio.
O dublador até tentou mas falhou, é claro que Dom Pedro não pronunciava "DEFINITIVAMENTCHI". seria mais parecido como se fala em alguns lugares do nordeste, "DEFINITIVAMENTÍ" aliás a dublagem no geral deveria evitar isso mas principalmente aquela mania estranha de colocar um som de J nas palavras com DI como DIPLOMA, DIAMANTE; serem ditos como DJIPLOMA, DJIAMANTCHI. Sério isso não faz o menor sentido.

I wonder why the subtitles are so different from what they're actually saying.
They're just too lazy to put a real translation
Felix Martono It varies between the real translation and like 2 others so it isn't the same ever time you meet the leader. If you play against the same civs a lot of times and know what the real translation is, you will notice that it will appear some times when you discover them. The real translation is always in the subtitles (at least in my games) the first time I ever discover them in a game of Civ every time I reinstall... so they aren't lazy, they actually put more stuff in to vary your games.
+Jhon Pittsburg Because the words and phrases that the leaders are actually speaking themselves sound less awkward. They're written differently for English speakers mainly to avoid any misunderstandings of traditional and colloquial phrases in the particular language.

Nebuchadnezzar (don't know if I spelled that right XD) intrigues me in this, he seems to be mentally ill but mystical at the same time. I heard or read somewhere that in the ancient world people drunk a lot of alcohol, rotting meat, lived in very hot weather and may have consumed mind altering drugs. From what I gather these people were possibly high tripping 24/7, what they called the Gods were not abstract deities far away from anyone's reach but literally walking among them as mass delusions, shame it's all gone and nobody can really know what went down in those days.
way2tehdawn It's interesting that in Bible (Book of Daniel) it is mentioned that Nebuchadnezzar II went insane for 7 years after boasting his achievements and was humbled by God. He left his palace and went to live in the wild. After 7 years he restored his sanity and built mighty city of Babylon, where he died to old age.
Daniel 4:23 - 4:37 (prepare for long text)
_""Your Majesty saw a holy one, a messenger, coming down from heaven and saying, 'Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump, bound with iron and bronze, in the grass of the field, while its roots remain in the ground. Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven; let him live with the wild animals, until seven times pass by for him.'_
_"This is the interpretation, Your Majesty, and this is the decree the Most High has issued against my lord the king:_
_You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox and be drenched with the dew of heaven. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes._
_The command to leave the stump of the tree with its roots means that your kingdom will be restored to you when you acknowledge that Heaven rules._
_Therefore, Your Majesty, be pleased to accept my advice: Renounce your sins by doing what is right, and your wickedness by being kind to the oppressed. It may be that then your prosperity will continue."_
_All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar._
_Twelve months later, as the king was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon,_
_he said, "Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?"_
_Even as the words were on his lips, a voice came from heaven, "This is what is decreed for you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your royal authority has been taken from you._
_You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes."_
_Immediately what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from people and ate grass like the ox. His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird._
_At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever. His dominion is an eternal dominion; his kingdom endures from generation to generation._
_All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: "What have you done?"_
_At the same time that my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor were returned to me for the glory of my kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne and became even greater than before._
_Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble."_
Bible is not the only evidence about his insanity, there are some historical texts, but because Babylon was really old, they are hard to find and you have to know where to look.
+CABAL nice

@E M M I E W. 2 years ago... so this might also be a bit late ;) .
The Vikings and Norse People in general are also stereotyped as only Brutal Marauders, when in fact the Norse (Viking was just a professional, not an ethnicity) were very cleanly, law-biding people, hence you get something like the Danelaw.
Once settled in England there were attempts to make peace with the local Anglo-Saxons.
One should also not forget that the English of that time, the Anglo-Saxons, also invaded the Island and were just as aggressive with the local Celtic people as the Vikings were.

All leaders has an extra voiceline that are not shown in this video. When you go to the trade section and make an offer, there is a button called ''What will you give me for this?". When you press that button the leader will make an additional voiceline that is not simmular to the other voicelines.

Could u tell me the exact timing about the dido's line you talked about?
Felix Martono
12:50.
Felix Martono You never added the caption...
I actually came back here because I finally understood what the heck she was saying at the end of her "Declared War on Me" speech, 12:38, which is translated as "You *earned* the animosity of Carthage by your *greed*" here. For quite a while I had been trying to figure out what her last word was, since it sounds nothing like any root connected with any Semitic word for "Greed". I couldn't make it out. Then yesterday I finally realized that the line is simply *mistranslated*, and it was misleading me: It's not "greed" she's talking about at all, it's "exploration". This fits excellently with her use of the word "Gilita" ("you've discovered") at the beginning of the line, which was previously just a strange word to use in that context.
So the full sentence is this: *"You've discovered the wrath of Carthage in your exploration"*. You can flip the order to have it make more sense in English: *"In your exploration, you've discovered the wrath of Carthage"*.
Headrock
thanks! I'll fix that sorry for late response. Yeah, the trasnlation on 12:38 seems kinda weird to me
