Hi 2 all. Just wanted to ask if there is players located in Lithuania or just players who wants to play in lithuanian language. I`d wish to translate Cantr II to lithuanian language, but i was said, that i need at least 4 more players interested in it... So if anyone understands lithuanian language and is interested in playing, write a note... At least "Ir aš norėčiau" or "Priskaičiuokite ir mane" :))

Taigi visi kas supranta, ką čia rašau, labai prašome duoti žinią man. Gal ką nors gero sukursim, bent jau iš pradžių turėsim neapgyvendintą vietą, kur galėsim sukurti savo bendruomenę.

Amlin :)

Lithuania... Where is that? (My geography was allways terrible!) I'm guessing eastern Europe?

Indeed.
I could be wrong but I believe it's a fairly religious country that is former USSR territory?

I hope that Cantr's GAC isn't relying on the CIA for intelligence. :lol:


Surly just might have a point with all his ranting then :P

Lithuania is the southern-most Baltic state. It, along with Latvia and Estonia, broke away from the Soviet Union in 1989 (I think, might have been 1990), and weren't ever happy being part of the USSR.

Here's a map:

Sad, that i founded no lithuanians for now, but i`m happy, that there is at least some interest in Lithuania`s location. If you are bad at geography (or at least want to test your skills) there is nice geography teaching game: http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/European_Geography.htm
At least after playing it several times you will not be ashamed to dont know where some European country is... (Shame to me, but Asia and Oceania is still white dot for me on the map....)

If someone is very interested in lithuanian language there is dictionary online: http://alkonas.fotonija.lt/ Just type the word you want to translate into text-box above keyboard, select flag of language, to whitch you want to translate and press button "Išversti į" ("translate to"). But i warn you... Lithuanian grammar is something hard to understand...

Vis dar labai ieškomi žmonės, galintys suregzti bent jau porą sakinių lietuviškai :)

Amlin, maybe you should find some new players on Lithuanian forums? :)

Seems to be better idea... :(
Ok will do some advertisement in Lithunia... But it would be much easier if i`ll find some lithuanian players that already play Cantr II, and started to translate, and created some Lithuanian island...

I love the world fact book. Everything you always wanted to know about a country in 10 minutes or less. Go CIA.

Yeah, that's true. And if you find them now, they'll have to be good enough in English or Russian to play in those areas, so they can get to know the game, before they're good enough to help you build up the Lithuanian area ...

I'm 25% Lithuanian! You might remember us as the bronze medal winners for the 92 Olympics I believe for basketball. And while I don't speak it, it might be neat to learn it via cantr. Esp if I spawned as a baby. :wink:
