Cyrillic isn't too bad. Just beat your head with the alphabet for about a week. It'll get it in there. Posted by Salsa (Member # 10530) on :
Cyrillic is pretty easy. I learned it two years ago...then I forgot it. Only a few letters that I remember.
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
well when im role playing as Russia or as a Russian in my games, I wanna be able to type out sentences in english lettering so othe rpeople can read it.
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
If they understand Russian in the first place, why wouldn't they understand the Cyrillic?
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
They don't understand Russian though, I'm role playing my character.

Just say tovarisch a lot. It works for Colossus.
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
So, in that case, why bother with the Latin letters? Just punch out some Cyrillic at random. They don't understand it anyway, so it might as well be gibberish.

I cant type Cyrillic in the paradox multiplayer lobby.

I think you mean hand-and-a-half.
Posted by MightyCow (Member # 9253) on :
All you have to say is, "In Soviet Russia ____ does ____ to YOU!" frequently.
For example: In Soviet Russia, Cyrillic Alphabet speaks gibberish in YOU!

The joke was originally by Yakov Smirnoff.
I can't see your faux-Russian taunts being particularly effective. Not because they'd be gibberish to the audience (certainly a major point, though). No, I think they'll be useless because you'll be wasting your time ham-fisting them out on the keyboard while your opponents spend their valuable time formulating competent strategies.

I very strongly suspect that you can, actually, if you are on a Windows machine. Try the following experiment: Go to the lobby, put Num Lock on, and do Alt-0229. If you get the letter 'å', then the keyboard codes work, and you just have to find and memorise the ones for Cyrillic letters.
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
It isnt fake russian if its actual Russian phrases.
And I don't generally need to spend my time in the lobby coming up with strategies as they'ld all be useless considering that 9 out of 10 times in any Paradox game the pen is always mightier, diplomacy has always gotten me further then warfare in every single instance.
And in any case its all moot as it is something i do for fun/my own amusement.
KoM which key is 0229?
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
No, I meant type in 0-2-2-9 from the numeric keypad. Actually you don't need Num Lock to be in, but you have to use the numpad, not the numrow.

Oh, and incidentally, I called my supervisor "Tovarisch Academician" today. Because in Soveit Norway, titles backchat YOU!!
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
Don't you live in Silicon Valley?
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
I haveth determined within Eve-Online that the keyboard codes work, havent tested them in a Pdox game yet, do you know a nifty site to find the Cyrillic codes?
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
You could try the built-in Windows help on special characters.
Posted by MightyCow (Member # 9253) on :
From the Start menu go to Programs > Accessories > System Tools and open the Character Map. You can copy non-English characters into Open Office and then paste the entire message into your post.
In Soviet Russia, characters map YOU!
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
Like I said that doesn't work in the lobby of Pdox games it doesn't allow for copy/pasting I'll see if the map gives the keycode though.
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
U+0434 is apparently the code. is U=alt?
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
Nah, it stands for Unicode. But since the key sequence for U+0xyz is Alt-0434, it might as well be as you suggest. And incidentally, since you were posting anyway, why didn't you just experiment with Alt-0434 in the reply box? I mean, duh.
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
I would think so Blayne.
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
²
it made this which I suspect was not I was wanting.
ž yeah Alt-0414 made this which I suspect is not Cyrilic. would U-0414 be ALT-something else?
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
Hmm. It seems that Norwegian letters are a bit privileged. Apparently not every Unicode character gets a corresponding keystroke. Weirdness.
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
Norway has foiled my plans for the last time you Yngling! Off to Siberia! The lot of you!
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
I thought you wanted to keep Siberia. Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
Of course, doesn't mean we don't need labourers though to work there.
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
Heh. All very amusing, but strils should be seen and not heard. Or better still, neither seen nor heard. Don't you have some cotton to hoe?
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
Number One) Chinese are not black people.
Number 2) We dont grow cotton, we grow cha.
Number 3) I'm going to wipe that arrogant smirk off of your face if its the ast thing I do (which it wont!) Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
Dude, Ynglings may be nasty, but they're not racist. Black, blue, or yellow, what's the difference? The cotton doesn't care. And if it comes to that, they have plenty of white strils too, although admittedly they mainly work in the factories and mines, since they are the fruits of conquest in industrialised Europe. The point is that North America is going to be pretty heavily de-populated by the combination of English occupation, guerrilla risings, and what I'm going to have to do to the eastern seaboard to regain control, sometime around 1952. So, we're going to have to import a lot of Chinese to replace the plantation workers.
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
do you still have the Victoria save? Would be interesting to know if North America is as wildernesslike as you say.
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
I've probably got it around somewhere. It's not exactly wilderness, as such, but it's certainly a lot less heavily settled than in OTL, or even in your average Vicky game; since the US didn't exist except for a couple of years when the rebels got out of hand, there wasn't the huge hardcoded immigration.
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
And you should recall that even in OTL, the US was pretty thinly settled until comparatively late; the last Indian risings were in the 1880s and 1890s, and there was a definite frontier of settlement until, IIRC, some time in the 1880s. So I don't need so large a difference for the Apaches to be still hanging on in the Rockies in the 1940s. Then you have to consider that the Yngling pattern of settlement will be very different, and also that the government won't have the same genocidal attitude to the Indians, not out of any humanitarian feelings but because it's useful to keep some not-too-powerful enemies around in order to stay in training. That's also why they tolerate Spanish and English supplies of weapons to the tribes in Norwegian Africa, and don't object too strenuously to cattle raids across the border in South America. (At the national level, that is. The ranchers, obviously, organise a local militia and raid right back, thanks kindly.) Besides, there's no game craftier or more cunning than a well-armed tribesman, even if you can't eat the meat.
