Minor Interface (or manual) Error?
On page 11 of the manual, it says (for a 2D sprite) that at the bottom, a diamond shows a corps and a star shows a corps. However, my army under Marshall Murat shows a diamond as well. This is not a big deal to me, but if it isn't a star for an army, perhaps the manual should be changed. FYI, I am in contact with the manual editor, who had asked me (and perhaps others) to go through the manual, page by page.

Correction of my last note (added separately for clarity)

I have looked at all that again for a 2D sprite - all I see at the bottom is a diamond with a tricolor background. It isn't clear that the diamond represents a corps, since my army also has the same diamond with a tricolor background. By contrast, the 3d sprite shows BOTH a diamond with tricolor background AND either a separate star (army) or diamond (corps).
In case anyone is wondering, I am examining these things so closely so I can give accurate feedback to the editor-in-chief of the manual.

The meaning?
I did. Thanks.
Your signature says,
La mort est un mur, mourir est une brèche.
The machine translation is:
"The death is a wall, (to?) die is a gap. "
I don't understand that saying. Please help me to. Thanks. And what/who was the source of that saying?

Sorry if I don't explain very accurately :
The sentence contains a sort of "message of hope" in front of our ignorance of what is death.
As death is the end of life and nobody could avoid it, death represents a sort of "wall". But, and here each one will think freely and maybe differently , to die is finally the (ultimate) action a man will do to "breach" the wall and go beyond even if "beyond" doesn't exist or if we don't know what lies "beyond".
I don't know who is the exact author but it is (if I remenber), a Jesuit.

Yes, a hopeful message

First of all, I think of Jesuits as very intelligent and very spiritual. So I generally respect what one of them might say. In that light, it is a good saying. I also like the saying attributed to our Native American (Indian) culture - There is no death, only a change of existence. Having said that, we all have our hands full trying to make a better life for ourselves and others in this present life - in spite of the insanity "out there" and - even more painful - in ourselves. "Let he who is without sin (insanity) cast the first stone," and we all can say that we cannot cast stones. And yet wellness awaits us in every moment, however slowly we admit it into our minds.

Very elegant sentence !
And I agree with you, we should trust human being before all despite his failures or weaknesses...
La mort est un mur, mourir est une brèche.
