I saw a topic a few weeks ago about the personal translation of "En Taro Adun" in a game forum...

Now I just heard that phrase again and I though I would toss the question here because you obviously spend more time with SC than most people.

So what do you think... if you had to translate it, what would you make it?

I always assumed this. Especially because they say En Taro Tassadar in Brood War.

Here's a word document that Will the Great off of GameFAQs made a while back describing the backstory of Starcraft.

adun was the templar hero who spared the khala heretics who later became the dark templars.
citadel of adun even upgrades zealot speed.

all of the oldschool mappers and campaigners knew the starcraft backstory extremely well cus it was so compelling. I made Aeon of Strife cus I loved the idea of a civil war that was generational, very memorable even thought it was just a blurb out of the SC manual.

I always thought it meant something like "adun is great" or "feel the might of adun". Guess not.

You created Aeon of Strife? Loved that map and it's follow-ups. Nice work.

Hopefully SC2 will have enough "toss speak" for nerds to hold conversations in that language. Much like the LotR nerds who speak Elven. The day I'm having coffee somewhere and overhear someone talking in "toss" is the day I can die a happy man lol.

I've never heard anyone speaking elvish, and I've spent quite a bit of time with nerd groups and at renaissance fairs.

I don't ever want to hear a conversation in Protoss, either. :|

I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

they made assumptions. liek "These phrases are uttered by protoss units in the games when first selected. Their meanings presumably vary, but all are linked to a protoss acknowledging a superior's presence in some form or another. "

There's a difference, J.R.R Tolkien was a linguist, and worked to create an entire language (based on Finnish) in order to make Elven a complete language.
