Well, until the creation of Norman-English, the Anglo-Saxons didn't even have the concept of rooms or a whole building dedicated to the storage of books. So the word Library wouldn't work.Ah yes, I should have expected complete nonsense like that. There is a difference between using modern English (which is of course necessary) and using excessively colloquial language. It's less medieval vs. modern and more formal vs informal. Language changes as a whole over time, but in some ways it's a lot more noticeable in the informal parts. It could just say something like "I will spend time in the library"
But libraries existed before that happpend (like the Great Library of Alexandria). It's not about hisorical context, but universal usage of english today.Well, until the creation of Norman-English, the Anglo-Saxons didn't even have the concept of rooms or a whole building dedicated to the storage of books.

Also the modern term is derived from old French, and never entered the English lexicon until said invasion.
As has been stated before, while it is an idiom, any English-speaker understands it. As a linguist who has studied multiple languages as well, it's far more self-explanatory than actual vague or strange idioms which tend to not contain any part of their meaning within the phrase. I'd call it nitpicking, but you just moved that goal post.But libraries existed before that happpend (like the Great Library of Alexandria).

The cup bearer, if poisened, should get a hefty prestige boost and some gold as a loyalty award from his liege, unless the liege is a monster, but that might create resentment too.Hello everyone!
Welcome to the third summer teaser. This time around, I figured I would show you something quite different. As you may know already, minor titles will be returning alongside the upcoming expansion, Royal Court, allowing you to appoint a Court Jester, a Seneschal, and more! As you might expect, we’ll be adding a number of new events that make use of these appointed characters, but we are no strangers to also updating existing content if need be! We generally want features to be visible wherever it makes sense, and updating content can be a part of making old events have new and interesting options or additional variety and flavour.
Here are a few examples of events that we’ve updated (or added, as in the last example):

You can expect more details in a future Dev Diary!
You learn to speak that Culture's Language(which maybe be different from the culture's name). For example I can safely assume that Bedouin,Levantine and Maghrebi will have Arabic as a language.So in that language learning event. I couldn't help but notice it looks a bit weird when the tooltip says:
I learn to speak the Assyrian language
to then a bit later state
You learn the Aramaic language
It might cause a bit of confusion so I would suggest here to change that first bit to:
"I learn to speak the language of the Assyrians" as opposed to "I learn to speak the Assyrian language"
cant wait for royal court expansion, i know i am among many who think the base game is kinda....empty atm but only temporary!Hello everyone!

It’s funny you bring up selfies because isn’t there an event chain already in the game based off tinder where you look at self portraits of people and put them in left or right pilesJust want to add to the 'hit the books' debate here. From what I gathered, the person that made this comment was objecting not to the understandability or to the Americanness of the phrase, but to its modern-ness. It would be like your character beaming with pride at the amazing 'selfie' they had just painted of themselves... except that the word is completely out of place in a medieval historical setting. You would expect them to call it a portrait, or a likeness. Likewise, a king wouldn't 'hit the books' in Medieval France, they would 'seclude themselves for study' or something.
Oh is that what that event is supposed to represent. I was wondering what a strange event that was but now it all makes sense.It’s funny you bring this up because isn’t there an event chain already in the game based off tinder where you look at self portraits of people and put them in left or right piles
