So, here's a small and incomplete list, just to make communication easier... people should add to it, I simply mention only the most usual.
Age = Tech Level We used the terms without the word "Age". Villager, Vill, Peon = Droid, work bot Wood = Carbon Barracks = Troop center Flush = Feudal Rush, the equivalent of a T2 rush. Monk = Jedi [This message has been edited by Paralyticus (edited 02-18-2002 @ 01:51 PM).]
Dark Age = T1
Feudal Age = T2
Castle Age = T3
Imperial Age = T4
Note: "Peon" comes from the Warcraft II days...
Gold = Nova
Stone = Ore
Food = Food
Town Center = Command Center
TC = CC
Rax = Barracks = Troop center.
Infantry = Trooper line.
Cavalry = Mech line?... really no full equivalent.
Fishing boat = Utility Trawl
Tranny = Transport
Dock = Shipyard
Rush = Rush
Turtle = A guy that likes to build and build until he comes up with a big army to kill everyone -- a newbie.
Drush = Dark age Rush, the equivalent of a T1 Rush.
Crush = Castle age Rush, the equivalent of a T3 Rush.
Grush = Galley Rush, a sort of war ship rush in islands maps, equivalent to ruining enemy fishing operation in T2 with light frigates, then controlling coastal lines...
Relic = Holocron
Castle = Fortress
Ok, this should do for the most common expressions.
