Typos/Grammar Thread (ALL factions)

[Rodion Romanovich]

I noticed in battle the equites use a "u" instead of a "v", which is inconsistent with the policy elsewhere. Same goes for "equites singulares" and "equites consulares".

We'll fix this in the titles, but will use "u" instead of "v" in descriptions so as not to torture the tongues of EB players.

I need some help here. Exactly what were you doing when this spelling appeared? A screenshot would be useful, if possible.

Tooltips.
Campaign selection screen, custom battle setup & in battle when you put your mouse over the unit/faction.

There are a bunch of other similar oddities in these same tooltips eg Romani show as Romans

Sim :p

[edit]There are already several mentions of tooltip text being wrong in the known bugs thread so I think there should be more of a general review of faction naming in tooltips rather than specific error fixes[/edit]

Whew - that took a while to track down. Turns out that different text files contribute the descriptions you see on that customized battle screen, and while two are synchronized (both have the "Getai" typo), the third is not. Thanks for getting more specific - that really helped me track this down!

That's pretty much my edit philosophy - attack each of the text files individually without regard to the posting of individual spelling/grammar errors. However, that approach does not catch naming discrepancies BETWEEN files, and it also doesn't (usually) allow me to find correctly spelled words that are incorrect in the context of a sentence (hence my emphasis on the reporting of errors like "meet-meat", "quite-quiet", and "where-were" - to name just a few)

Again, thanks for helping out!

My pleasure :)

Temple to Jupiter Optimus Maximus in Roma: has "romanstate"

The Roman Fabricae description (MIC building) has "labour consuming", should probably be "labour-consuming"

[Antagonist]

Not a spelling-mistake, but I think this is a typo:

The descriptions for the Romani Cohortes Reformata and Antesignani contain this sentence:

Historically, the organization of the legion changed at the end of the 1st century BC and all but the heavy infantry disappeared. The Hastati, Principes and Triarii were now all equipped in the same manner and only their names remained.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but shouldn't it be the end of the 2nd Century BC, or maybe the beginning of the 1st Century BC? (ie around 100 BC) The end of the 1st century BC would be the Augustan Principate.

Fixed (along with two others)

The Roman Fabricae description (MIC building) has "labour consuming", should probably be "labour-consuming"

Changed to "labour intensive"
