In-Game Typos

[Edi]

I figured we should have a separate thread for actual bugs and another for less fatal but still annoying things called typos.

List in-game typos (misspelled pretender titles, unit names, typos in unit descriptions or erroneous descriptions etc) here. That way the bug thread will not get cluttered with the less important stuff and we can get the typo stuff ironed out here (because inevitably there will be arguments about proper spelling wrt UK vs US spelling). Just remember that Illwinter has preferred UK spelling in the past and that we should probably stick to it for the sake of consistency.

Let's follow the format of the bug thread, so that we post the problem issue in bold and then more detailed stuff in normal text below it. See my next post for examples.

Now, if only some friendly mod or admin were to stickify this. Thanks!

I'll start off:

Site: Villa of Everchanging Fresques
Should be "Villa of Everchanging Frescoes"

Fort: Jewled City
Should be "Jewelled City"

I got the random event:

A prospector genious has found a small gold deposit. 200 pounds of gold was found.

It should probably read:
A prospector genius has found a small gold deposit. 200 pounds of gold were found.

[Reverend Zombie]

Or even:

A genius prospector has found a small gold deposit. 200 pounds of gold were found.

The weapon called Delibitative Poison should be Debilitative Poison.

A negative skill adjustment of my prophet for being out of his dominion was listed as "+-3".

Correction: The negative skill adjustment display problem is not just for the prophet and is not directly related to being out of dominion. It shows up as negative heat adjustments to skills for my cold-loving Jotuns.

Ok, i guess I'll list this here (Even though it's not technically a typo) because it's getting absolutely no attention in the bug thread

The Heart Hider Hero from ME Shinuyama is still lacking a description. It may not seem serious but I hardly play dominions anymore because my favourite nation has a hero with no description. An alternative to adding a description would be to simply disable the hero. I'm not sure that would be any easier but, hey, as long as it's fixed in the next patch.

A crapload of typos found in unit descriptions while compiling the bug list.

U* Whatever "Shamen" should get replaced with "Shamans"

More bugs when I have time to remember and collect them.

[Edi]

That one is not included because, while "shamans" is technically correct English and "shamen" is not, it is possible that the particular tribe/nation would use the incorrect word in their speech. An issue of dialects/game universe flavor in that case.

Furthermore, I will not do your legwork for you. If you wish to report an unlisted typo, you WILL include the id number of the unit or it will not be reported. Because I cannot be arsed to go through the unit DB to look at every unit that might have "Shaman" in the name and then poring over their descriptions to find which one(s) are affected.

Nothing personal, it's a matter of principle as much as anything else. If I give in just once and do people's digging for them, nobody will bother to report things in sufficient detail because they will assume I will take care of all the details.
