Typos/Grammar Thread (ALL factions)

[ScionTheWorm]

"Getia" is the name of the region, "Getai" is the name of the people (basically meaning "Getians"). Both are correct in their appropriate contexts.

but Getia under the faction icon waiting for next turn is wrong, right?

I don't think so. Did you check with the appropriate people, Kull?

Nope. I believe this comes from SHARED.TXT, and I changed it since everything else I'd seen up to that time referred to the Dacians as "Getai", not "Getia". Technically I may be wrong here (since Getia is the nation, Getai the people), but every person who plays this mod from now until the end of time is going to be commenting on the "Getia" typo. Is there ANY other spelling we can come up with that's historically correct and not an apparent transposition? Getaio, Getaia, Getaie?

Nymos Symmachos duplicates, "has been improved" should be have been improved, "however" shouldn't be there (or stick a comma after it), and there shouldn't be a comma before that (or change that to which).

Edit: Description for Megaron Dioiketou says "A Dioiketes is not chosen from the lower Hellenic families or gods forbid, one of the native ones are not trustworthy enough, as..." which doesn't make grammatical sense.

Comma in "better stronger walls" in description for Teichea Lithea.

Tomb of Alexander: siezed should be seized.

Syllogos kai Skeuotheke Strateumatos: "arms and armor is often stored" should be "are often stored."

Practice Range: "which also needs" should be "which also need."

Pyramids: "their surface were covered" should be "was covered."

Metalleia: posess should be possess.

In the Small Nomadic Settlement, it says,

However, they wouldn’t fair well against either extremes of an all infantry people or their cavalry heavy relatives

[Lord Hammerschmidt]

In the description for the Mega Phrourion, "innside" appears in the first or second sentence. I'm fairly sure this was in a Pontos description, not sure if it appears for any other factions.

Fixed (2 or 3 of these) Thanks!

If you go into the Data file, then text and then export_buildings there are two typos for Anhachmohr.

{governors_villa_britons} Anhachmohr
{governors_villa_britons_desc}
Casse Warlord's Hold\n\nA well-liked chief or a powerful chieftain of my tribes often has an exceptionally large home, complete with offices, and extravagant works of art, as well as his trophies from battle. It is a central hub for the social life of a community, as the owner of this home likely has more money than anyone else in town, and likely got elected toi his position in part because of his good nature to his people, or through his fame via great deeds. Feasts and parties for the locals would be organized here, and spillover from such parties may even end up in the yard around it.
{governors_villa_britons_desc_short}
New EB Description Required

I'm not sure what the 'my' is about, but 'toi' should be 'to'.

There is also another small typo for Parvarsk:

{governors_villa_parthia} Parvarsk
{governors_villa_parthia_desc}
Small Palace\n\nSuccessful and (relatively) loyal satrapes under the Pahlava are rewarded by more lands and larger manors. His subjects are more prosperous, trade and agriculture is giving him even more retinue. Petitioners, tax collectors as well as those in trouble with the law all have to go to the governor for their business. The governor has some of his Bandaka (bondsmen) stationed in his manor, to provide protection and a rudimentary garrisons. He and his vassals would have their mounts raised and grazed in nearby pastures.
{governors_villa_parthia_desc_short}
New EB Description Required

Should be 'a rudimentary garrison'.

[Malrubius]

In export_buildings.txt, you'll find "lighting" instead of "lightning" and "depreciated" instead of "depicted"

That's weird....I'll pass that on to the city improvement guys as it doesn't look like an editing issue.

"has been improved" should be have been improved, "however" shouldn't be there (or stick a comma after it), and there shouldn't be a comma before that (or change that to which).
