Age of Empires Speak
Mark Desmond Charles RYAN CMP PG
Does anybody know if Hokloba, Dei, Homus, Habadaba, Rogan etc. actually mean
anything. Or rather did then mean something in ancient times.

Good question! I was wondering the same thing. I assumed it was Latin
and that Homus means "house" and was said as acknowledgment of your
command to build a new house. I don't know.

Bruce Shelley said in an interview that their sound artist, Chris
Rippy, had created a new "language" for the game (he is rumoured to
have used names of his friends and colleagues for the words).
Erictus!

Now don't take this to seriously or anything. But if you click on a
peasant and then tell him to build a home, it runs together a bit and sounds
a bit like "Oklahoma" . One of the other commands sounds a bit like Utah...
I dunno, but where does that sound artist come form?

Several of the words spoken are Latin, you may have heard the words 'Homus'
and 'Erectus' which are the genus and species of one of our ancient
ancestors (if you are a believer of Darwin anyway). I think some of the
other words are bits of phrases from Roman times but the strong American
accent makes it hard to work out whether or not the rest are gibberish or
have some real (or fanciful) meaning. Could be that the others also come
from one or two other archaic languages, but who cares - they all annoy the
hell out me!

that in 2014 an unstoppable computer virus wiped out all computers'
ability to type in lower-case letters. It was only in 2047 that this
virus was eradicated and dual-case typing was restored to the
Internet.
Furthermore, Civilization kicks AOE's ass. ;-P

also Civilization is just in another league than Age of Empires altogether.
