Another oddity...nit picking really

Sat Mar 20, 2010 6:29 am

I also noticed that in the Military Recruitment mode, the cost of units aligns nicely with the alignment on top, VP, MN, EP, $, Conscripts, WP. When you go to Military Options they don't align. It takes a practice or good memory to look at each value instead of knowing that they align with each other. Military Options go in this order; $, Conscripts, WS, EP. Wouldn't it be a small nicety to have the EP in the Military Options moved to the front of the order to make them align with the top values...i.e.; EP, $, Conscripts, WS. You could say I need 5, 30, 20, 120 and know they match. Its a anal nitty pick thing but I though it would help improve the data interface faster and easier.

In this same category of nitpicky minor text issues: for HRE units, the unit screen tab and tooltip text describes them as "Emperor detachment", which looks to me like a literal translation from detachment d'empereur?

It would be more grammatical English to give it as "Emperor's", but really it ought to be "Imperial", which is a better translation of the usual German Reichs-whatever (Reichsarmee, Reichskammergericht, Reichstaende,Reichsgut, etc: imperial army, imperial chamber court, imperial estates, imperial domain lands) which was the formula used for HRE institutions in preference to "Kaiserlich" ("emperor's" or "belonging to the emperor").

Obviously not a major gameplay issue, but if time allows some text changes, maybe it could be added to the list?

About the first post, you mean in the tooltip depicting the cost of the options?

I'll see if someone from the data team can be persuaded to fiddle with these tooltips ;)
