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

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

    Ah! the Generals! they are numerous, but not good for much (especially if they're Languorous)!

    Question Re: Typos/Grammar Thread (ALL factions)

    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.

    Good catch. The Roman team has confirmed your finding and I've changed the text from "end" to "beginning".

    (Bump) This is the official thread for reporting spelling and grammar problems to the EB Editing team. And based on the lack of entries, it's either:

    1) EB's text has achieved near-god-like perfection

    or

    2) You OB testers are slackin' on me big time!

    Typo with building in Kallatis (A town on the west side of the black sea). Avemvs Lacvs (or something like that, it's a lake building) has a typo saying its 'one of the most beautiful sites in Italy', seeing that this town is a ways away from Italy I assume it's a typo or mix-match.

    It shouldn't be there at all and will be removed. We have no idea how it got magically transported there.

    All elephant units seem to still have the underscores in their name.

    e.g. 'African_Elephants'


    Also, deities are on several occasions called 'God' instead of 'Gob'. Please fix this, before my father smites you.
