That one is easy: var/ruler_nick.var
Dunno why Drakon removed the articles in his version; I suppose Sat started from there.
Will fix in my local branch also.

The available titles are

Regards.

I think you are referring to Text/Hero_class.txt
/14 Tactician
#A Commander who has mastered scouting skills becomes a Tactician, gaining higher initiative and the ability to increase the ranged attack of his missile troops.#

Original text
/14 Тактик
#Командир, изучивший навыки разведки, становится Тактиком, способным повышать дистанционную атаку своих стрелков.#

which does not mention Initiative, only improving ranged units.
So this is a translation issue.


Text/Hero_class_d.txt says
/14 Tactician
#Can use the following type of items: Common, Melee Weapon, Ranged Weapon, Banner, Light Armor, Medium Armor, Shield.
Increases the units' missile attack by 2 (does not affect units using the Magic Shot).
Can learn commander and scout skills up to Mastery Level 3.#

var/hero_class.var says
/14
Name: Tactician;
Talent1: 1008, 2
Talent2: 960, 248
Talent3: 0, 0
Talent4: 0, 0

Wow! I didn't expect such a rapid response, you guys rock.

I'll be sure to keep a lookout for anything else worth mentioning.

In unit_upg.var, /226 name should be "Become Veteran Slinger" rather than "Become Veteran Spearman".

Good catch. I would argue that the problem comes from the Russian version.
The original text is just "Become Veteran" (Стать ветераном).
There are two upgrades with that name:

/170
Name: Стать ветераном;
Only Once: 1
Need: (0)
Upg Type: 62
Quantity: 86;

/226
Name: Стать ветераном;
Only Once: 1
Need: (0)
Upg Type: 62
Quantity: 119;

Upgrade type 62 means "Change Type"
Unit 86 = "Veteran Spearman"
Unit 119 = "Veteran Slinger"

Ket, what is the rationale for not mentioning the unit type in the upgrade Name?
Is it because context makes it obvious?
Should the English translation just be "Become Veteran" in your opinion?

Regards.

Thanks for looking into that, Boon. That's what happens when using a Translation Memory. It's not possible to have two different translations for the same Russian term. That's how the error occurred.
So it might indeed be better to just use "Become Veteran" then.

IIRC, "Стать ветераном-копейщиком" doesn't fit the char limit. As for obviousness, there is an icon and the full text. And you don't really expect your spearman to turn into veteran slingers, I suppose.

unit.txt line 470 "battle ax" should be "battle axe"

Добавлено: Пт Апр 10, 2015 23:25     Заголовок сообщения: Re: Minor typo


In fact, there are 3 occurrences of "ax" in unit.txt:
Lizardman-sentinel, Dwarven Firestarter, Dwarven Bomber
There are also 6 occurrences of "axe", I think we need to pick a spelling, for consistency.

I'd say axe since I've never heard of ax (US only), and apparently both version are used in the US so they would still understand it.

By the way, there seems to be a serious bug where if you build a castle improvement in your home province which adds a 'site' for your hero to visit - like the crystal of power then the site can not actually show up.
I think this is to do with missions such as Alkiri, Dwarf, Elf etc where New Horizons makes it easier to complete the mission and plonks the site in a province. If this site is in your home province then that space was already 'taken' and you don't get the new crystal of power site. The additional +1 gem/turn still works though.
I can send a save game which should be easy to demonstrate.

That's probably a bug in the executable. Only Jazz can fix those. And I'm not sure he monitors this thread regularly.
Ket, do you recognize this bug? Is Jazz aware of it?
(I bet I could fix it in under an hour with access to the source and the relevant save game.)

Regards.

I forwarded this to Jazz a bit earlier. The bug exists, though the cause is quite different. He improvised a way to fix it already, now some testing is in order. Will be all nice and fixed in the next version, I hope.

On that topic, I have refrained so far from issuing a small update to the English version, because I think it won't be that long now before a new major milestone version will be released by Jazz.
As soon as that happens, I will naturally also incorporate all of the outstanding suggestions and fix all existing bugs submitted above.

Cool - glad the bug will be squished.
Does Jazz have access to the source?
Also, I notice that the AI isn't the best when using area effect weapons. I can't remember if they existed in default Eador, but he often hurts himself as much as the enemy. They're still cool though.

Spell.txt line 2274 'retore' should be 'restore'.
