Heya am new on the boards and i just downloaded Sevo mod
ITS GREAT, nice job to all those that work hard to all the diferent mods and stuff
i dont have the knowledge (atm) or time to get into making them
but i have a few suggestions.
I personally love all the extra civs you can choose
Am Belgian (and thats not a civ yet :'( )
and i speak Dutch (yeah like those of the Netherlands)
I want to lent my voice to make the game realistic, just like when you chose the japanese Civ they speak japanese (and its correct, i study japanese ^^ )
I was kinda dissapointed to hear Dutch civ speak english
Dunno if its possible but if i can help, just tell me which sentenses you need to get translated and in what format/max size you want them.
Also the Flag color of the Dutch is wrong ^^
(ps if somebody want to add the Belgians it would be great
)
I can support these recommendations!
But wanna add something to them. I'm dutch originally, and my fellow countrymen speaking english indeed sounds, at least strange up to some level, but, consider that modern children in NL speak maybe 50% english anyway(mostly the bad words though) it doesn't really matter. But having a flamish speaking dutch?? hmm, I'm limburgian, because of my accent I don't think it's appropriate I speak dutch, and the same counts for flamish, it's very accented. no offense Malkavian! we're all from the south, we're the catholics , both our dutch is too accented I think
If you want true dutch, you'd ask someone from Nord-Braband or Utrecht, I personally think they speak the best dutch. You'd better ask my sister, my parents didn't teach her our dialect, she speaks dutch very smoothly without accent.
about the flag, I was already wondering who made the flag!!
) you just have to turn the french flag around 90degrees to get the dutch flag, it's funny that people don't know such simple things. Actually, the RED/White/blue is one of the most common colour combinations in global FLags, RUssia, Balkan states, France, Netherlands, many States have the Red/White/blue, although in different order. So if you, Sevo, are ready with all the patches, you can change this maybe, just take the french flag, turn it 90degrees, and it's done. RED WHITE BLUE horizontal stripes!..but it's really not important..you can do it when you're ready with the city screen which i consider alot more important to fix then our stupid national flag
as a Side-comment. I'm personally one of those who favor to re-establish the old kingdom(without king though) it'S called the BENELUX today, I'd love to see a nation called "Zeven Gewesten" (
BElgium,
NEtherlands,
LUXembourg) instead of only the netherlands or belgium. In history the Seven Gewests are very significantly, more then just the netherlands! like some think the flying dutchmen is dutch, well the ship is not!! it's a (regarding borders today)belgium ship from Antwerpen. That's just an example of misunderstanding of history..generally, I'd say the historical importance of either Belgium or the Netherlands are not so big, they are very young states..The history in which they where important goes back to the time when the countries were 1!! And I favor such a civilization in civ4 instead of seperated Netherlands/belgium/luxembourg...just because I believe the old country has more importance in histroy then the modern countries. I mean, Civ dates covers all areas of history, and modern netherlands/belgium are really unimportant for most historical times, except modern time.
