lolwut? Since when did Greeks ever spoke latin? They spoke ancient greek, and later it evolved into modern greek.
Stop mushrooms or buy a history book, dude.
Now, if they pur Brazil it will obviously be Portugese. Same way that if they put Mexicans it would be Spanish, but Aztec would be their native language.
You're right the ancient Greeks didn't speak Latin. It's been a while since my last philosophy class and I thought that Aristotle was translated from Latin, but it was Greek.
This doesn't change the fact that I disagree with the decision to put atmosphere above practical gameplay. I'm not nor ever have been one to put form over function and that's what this decision does.
Hollywood picks and chooses the times when they use native tongue and when they use the audience language. For movies they want to win awards on, the go native language and subtitles, for movies they want to make money on they go all audience language. The biggest examples of the latter are Star Treck (both the movies and the T.V. shows) and Star Wars. Yes they may have sparsely thrown in some other languages, but those instances were rare. They didn't even have a language barrier when they first met a new species, except when it was needed for the plot.
