In-Game Typos

Edi · #1 December 11th, 2006, 09:50 AM

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.

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.

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

I think Fresques is French for Frescoes, so perhaps it's a French magic site.

I'd thought I'd seen this reported before, but I can't find it.

The EA Vanheim Huskarls have their descriptions switched.

1508 has spear and javelin, but the description says axe and javelin.
1509 has axe and javelin, but the description says spear and javelin.

Good catch.

Not exactly typo-class, but EA Helheim's (Nation #16) description mentions skinshifters.

Military: Heavy infantry, skinshifters, valkyries, vanir
Magic: Earth, Air, Blood

It should read:

Military: Heavy infantry, valkyries, vanir
Magic: Earth, Death, Air

Edit: I'm an idiot. Found the id # for Helheim in the mapedit manual.
