Title: Stroggs and Pagans.
Post by: pharo212 on February 23, 2008, 11:46:15 pm

I was reading the autogen.cfg and found lines saying
set team name: pagans
set team name: strogg.

Is this the name of the Aliens? Stroggs?

Stroggs are the aliens from the Quake series, I think.

Aye, these entries are probably leftovers from Q3A.

Tremulous uses the Quake 3 Arena source code. More specifically the Quake 3 Team Arena source code. In Q3TA, two of the main teams were Pagans and Stroggs. In this case, asking Carmak would be your best bet.

And yes, Stroggs (http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/Quake4/images/monster_strogg_marine2.jpg) are the Aliens from the Quake series.

derived from the Latin pagus, whence pagani (i.e. those who live in the country), a name given to the country folk who remained heathen after the cities had become Christian (from the web)

P.S. You don't know what Stroggs are? Burn the unbeliever!
