Whacky terminology

[Karbuncle]

I'm used to abrasive responses, so I may have jumped the gun a bit.

Up yours buttface.

Just kidding.

On a realish note, I like a lot of the new terms, while Biovauc or WHATEVER is hard to spell right and I likely keep getting it wrong, But it does stick out... Which i think it was it was meant to do.

Plus, I love learning new words and people being shocked as FK when i know what they're talking about trying to sound smart because i learned it from video games.

I actually like the new terms. In fact, part of the excitement of new areas, systems and jobs for me is seeing the terms they're going to use.

That's the personal enjoyment side. From a practical standpoint, terms need to stand out enough to differentiate from years of similar systems. If someone has played the expansion, the single word bivouac is immediately recognizable. If they used "camp" you might need to constantly clarify that you don't mean an experience party camp.

I think they should add a cooking synth for nutty gum and fruit spleggins.

I find it rather entertaining lol

Just like "Chapuli" that doesn't exist in English but it may come from "Chapulin" that is the nahuatl (Aztecs language) word for grasshopper. Is just a "n" of difference but I laugh every time I see it. I don't think they are trying to avoid any copyrights by just omitting a "n" but who knows lol. Maybe the aztecs will come to have their share if they add it lol.

It's rather likely especially considering the names of the Naakual's weapons are almost all Nahuatl. It's sort of interesting, while Adoulin city seems to draw its influence from Dalmatia (specifically Dubrovnik, see image) the surrounding Region is clearly Central America!



My only complaint with "Pankration" is that the event is so far removed from the term's meaning.

well the city itself is obviously colonial Spanish architecture, and if im not mistaken almost all the new super nms are native south American gods

So, are we expecting Quetzelcoatl?
