Who cares how it's spelled. The game designers can spell it anyway they want.
It wasn't even the question. He was just talking about how the names in the game refer to real life.

To settle the Rheinland debate...
In German class I was looking in a textbook and I noticed that the German name for the River Rhine is Rhein. Therefore the german name for Rhineland would be Rheinland.

Anyone notice the Rhineland is the land lost by Germany after WW1/2. It and the Polish Corridor were taken away by the Treaty of Versailles, and until then it WAS a part of Germany... unless I got the wrong place, I think Im right....

You're right. It was WW1.

The Alsace-Lorraine (Rhineland) territory was coveted by both France and Germany.

Germany lost it after WW1, but it was recaptured in WW2; and not wanting to make another mistake with war reparations, the Allies let Germany keep most of the territories it gained during the war. Partly because the Soviets had taken Eastern Europe.

For the Coalition!!

what did corsair come from?
on the info from ur nav map for crete (the planet) sais the corsairs were named for some mediterranean pirate group
even though the minoans (sea people, were really powerful n stuff) lived on crete? unless corsair is another way to say minoan....but i dont kno what im talkin about

Heh, couldnt remember me history lessons for a mo..... Corsair, as Ive always known it, were excessivly vicous bloodthisty pirates, who would maim, kill, terrorise, and otherwise disturbe life for other people. Thats were it comes from. So far as I know.

Hey, im getting to be quite the regular here huh?

Many of the "criminal" factions are linked to the "land" in which they live.
Crysanthamuns (spelling) are considered fortunate (Or lucky) in Japan I believe, and the Dragon is held in high regard too.
As for Corsairs their "second" port of call in the game is Bretonia, which as stated is based on what was The Britich Empire, arguably the biggest group of blood thirsty pirates to ever sail the seas, having at one point controlled a third of the world.
Xenos probably represent some anti-foriegn league, although I can't thnk of any with the possibly exception of Nazis. Bounty Hunters are obvious... I think the farmers alliance is linked to Germany somehow...

It's all so hazy...

If it wasn't for the inky blackness of the night you wouldn't appreciate the brilliance of the stars...

Maybe because of the farmers in WW1? Or is it WW2....

Actually, Bretonia is a French province although it is usually spelt Bretagne or Brittany. It is also an empire in the RPG Warhammer, whose publishers registered 'Bretonia' as a trademark and some drooling moron of a clerk granted this, along with things like 'Chivalry', 'Citadel', 'Space Fleet' ...

One day, when I'm bored and feel really malicious, I'm going to invent & patent a system for labelling things (which I'm going to call 'naming') by associating the things with combinations of about two dozen basic symbols, each of said symbols being associated with its own distinctive glyph (which I'm going to call 'letter') for ease of human consumption. In order to facilitate non-visual communication as well as streaming to media like mag tapes I'll provide a scheme to map the symbols to certain sounds (which I'm probably going to call 'phonemes') because this provides an easy means of serializing the symbols and their combinations onto low-bandwidth serial media or to transfer them over low-bandwidth serial comms channels. With a minor software upgrade (a.k.a. 'training') humans should be able to serialize/deserialize streams of symbols directly via their built-in hardware - vocal cords and the first stage of the food input pipeline should make a nice transmitter, and the ear already is a pretty good receiver. Visual representations (via glyphs) could be input via the optical recognition system, even in parallel with the aural channel, but it is likely that only females wíll be able to handle simultaneous inputs easily ...

*woooooooooow*....... ok....you should do tha....huuu....i mean...NO!! stop! christ, i got me down for a bit there!! oh by the way, corsairs decimated both english and spain etc....and yes, they were bad like hell,even when outnumbered they would jump to death with no remorse or fear....(love stories..lol)they even supposedly killed their own people when lacking food...remember this? yeah....

to kill or to be killed...if it lives, kill it...if it stands, level it to da ground...if in doubt?WIPE IT OUT!
