EPTNow 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?

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. | ||

Loved that map and it's follow-ups.  Nice work. | ||

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. :| | ||

The day I'm having coffee somewhere and overhear someone talking in "toss" is the day I can die a happy man lol. 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. | ||
