Symbols

[Emperor Harkonnen]

what are those symbols on the cd and the main menu of emperor. I drew them down on a paper, there are 18 total. 6 in each line, or word as it probably is.

there have been several topics on this. It is my understanding that they are just gibberish.

I think thats right. Westwood just put those symbols on there for character.

Hah! Good pun, Usul!

[Emperor Harkonnen]

well they are pretty cool acctually. one of the letters look like the phonecian R. it looks exactly like it, except there is a circle next to it in the westood version

A very subtle pun, if not inadvertant...

True dat ...

EDIT:

Heheh. One looks like the MSN logo. ;D

And one looks like a tiny umbrella. :P

Silly Westwood.

But seriously - I like the one that represents the two mountains and the moon between them. Very Dune-ish.

What are you going to do with those symbols?

[FireSnake]

I made a thread about this topic several millenia ago. Turns out that those symbols are meaningless. At least according to what most people here think. ;)
