Spelling Mistake - I think...

[Griffon]

Is it me or is 'Iroquois' spelled incorrectly in the game?

When I play it is spelled 'Iroqouis'. Now I'm no fancy lawyer from the city (and the crowd goes 'ooooohhh'), but I'm pretty sure it's spelled IROQUOIS. Since they were named by French explorers, it would not make sense to have it spelled 'Iroqouis' since after a 'q' in French, you always have a 'u'.

Anyone can corroborate?

Yes, it's 'Iroquois.' And while we're at the business of spelling, it's 'Independence,' not 'Independance' in the scenario name. There's a few others, but they escape me for the moment.

Valid points--but *minor* quibbles--related to this wonderful game.

 

[Griffon]

most definitely!

Just very minor things to fix as well

There's no shortage of spelling and grammatical errors in the game if you care to look for them. Apparently the German version is far worse, though. They are a minor annoyance, and don't detract from gameplay IMHO.

I thought that maybe 'Iroqouis' was the French spelling. (just kidding)

The people that did the 'localization' of the game (conversion to other languages) were not native speakers of the English language.

 

[Griffon]

neither are most of the players (including myself = French), but we still can pick them out

Like I said, no biggie

One other one... 'HARFORD' Connecticut should be 'HARTFORD'

Two province names I noticed

The province name should be 'Wuerttemberg' (the 'ue' stands for a u with two dots on top), not 'Wurtemburg'. Not really a biggie, it just clashes with my regional sensibilities a bit. And if I remember correctly from reading Oranje's AAR, the German version refers to 'Flandres'; the proper German spelling of that province would be 'Flandern'. Again, no big deal. As everybody else said, these are really minor concerns and don't detract from gameplay.

Marseilles (city name for Provence) is also spelt wrong;
it's spelt 'Marsielles'.

Also, I keep getting the message 'we are attacked natives in ...' Kinda reminds me of the 'All your base are belong to us' craze.

Misspelling

Griffon:

Good evening from Canada! I hope this finds you and yours well. Yes, 'Iroquois' is misspelt in the game, as is 'Minnesota'. It's obvious somebody didn't check their atlas or dictionary for these!!

More Spelling Errors

Spelling errors in province.csv:

Massachusetts (incorrectly spelled Massachussetts)
Mississippi (incorrectly spelled Mississipi)
Minnesota (as listed above)
Manila (incorrectly spelled Manilla)
Hokkaido (incorrectly spelled Hokaido once)
Chesapeake (incorrectly spelled Cheasapeake)
Ryukyu (incorrectly capitalized as RyuKyu)
Hartford (as listed above)
Iroquois (as listed above)
There is somewhere (river name?) where a K needs to be capitalized, but I forgot the name.

I tried editing the csv files myself using a text editor (not Excel), being careful not to change the file format, but the scenarios won't load if I do so. I get an error saying catholic.txt cannot be found, and the game exits to the desktop. How do you edit the csv files safely?
