Messages for global enchantments:

Maelstrom:

Quote:

Long ago it was prophesized that Charybdis of the sea would open her jaw and suck down all riches of the world and yield it unto her master GODxy as a fitting gift to the lord of all. Now the maw of Charybdis has opened and the riches that are found in the sea is being pulled towards her master.

prophesied,
maybe a title: Lord of All,
are

Quote:

Charybdis the great maelstrom has been enslaved by GODxy of NATIONxy and is tributing GODxy with enormous wealth. If this tribute is allowed to continue its magnitude might spell the doom of your aspirations and lead to the ascendancy of GODxy, unless you wish to end your days a lapdog, chained to [...], now is the time to close the maw of charybdis.

(not a word),
Charybdis

The Looming Hell:

Quote:

Long ago it was prophesised that during the final battle which decides the fate of all [...], GODxy will call upon the denizens of the lower layers of hell to help spread the word of GODxy. Now that prophesy has been fulfilled and devils haunt the dreams of GODxy enemies, threatening and cajoling the weakest of their flocks to turn against their masters.

prophesied,
prophecy

Quote:

An outrage has been commited against your divine person. The godling of GODxy has invited devils into the dreams of your subjects, in order to steal them away from you. While the devils can only haunt your subjects inside GODxy's dominion, the threat and the insult of GODxy's infernal dealings cannot be born. Tear apart this hellish compact, cleanse the dreams of your subjects from this impure presence and visit your vengeance upon GODxy's body and mind.

committed

Illwinter:

Quote:

Ancient forces, that have long lain dormat, are stirring once again. GODxy has performed an immense sacrifice in order to rouse the Rimtursar. These are the ancient giants that lie sleeping in the glaciers, giants that when last awakend lay waste to the earth and turned it into a frozen tundra devoid of life.

dormant, (doormat? :))
awakened,
laid

The Eyes of God:

Quote:

You are being watched. Your servants are being watched. Your slaves are being watched. The unblinking eyes of the lord of GODxy is ever watching your moves, peering over your shoulders, glaring at you from the sun, watching you from the shadows. By taking the first step towards omniscience GODxy has set GODxy upon a path, that if not blocked, will lead GODxy to ascension. Obviously their is only one fitting punishment for this grotesque arrogance, you must blind these everpresent eyes.

there,
ever-present

Riches from Beneath:

Quote:

The people of GODxy are truly blessed amongst the peoples of the world. Their lord GODxy has commanded the earth to yield up its treasures to GODxy faitfull. As a result his armies are more well equipped and numerous than ever berfore.

faithful,
better equipped and more numerous,
before

Ghost Armada:

Quote:

GODxy has awakened the once famous Admiral Torgrin who won countless battles for the old Pantekrator.

Pantokrator

Burden of Time:

Quote:

GODxy has commited the act of ultimate evil against the world of the living by putting the Burden of Time upon the world. As long as this enchantment is active every living being will grow old and die in a few years time.

committed,
a few years' time

Gift of Health:

Quote:

It is foretold in the prophesies of GODxy that before their lord and master GODxy finally vanquishes GODxy enemies and ascends to the throne celestial, GODxy shall grant all of NATIONxy faithful long and prosperous lives, all ills shall be cured and good health shall be enjoyed by everyone, that prophesy is now fulfilled.

prophecies,
prophecy (just for consistency)

Quote:

The false god of NATIONxy has blessed GODxy followers with supernatural health and stamina, this sets a bad example for your faithful whom have not received a similar benefit from their worship, thus this unseemly generosity on GODxy's part must be stopped.

stamina. This

I think Fresques is French for Frescoes, so perhaps it's a French magic site.

The site is now named Villa of Ever Changing Fresques.

Re: In-Game Typos

Thanks. Rdonj, we do need to make some concessions to the English language, such as using the accepted plural forms for words, and ninja is one of those. A case could be made to omit the plural s based on the way the other Jomon troops are spoken of in plural, but it becomes a matter of taste there.

I know about Charybdis, I'm a big fan of Greek mythology. The "not a word" was for "tributing".

Re: In-Game Typos

Thanks for reminding us of these. The global spell event texts were not in the ones I did, because they are presumably in different parts of the code. Kristoffer, could you send me the current description files, I could fix the ones that have been reported now and we would be rid of those? The events as well, because there were a couple of typo slips there on my part.

Re: In-Game Typos

The LA Man summon, Bean Sidhe, M1776, uses the same description as the previous EA and MA Bean Sidhe, M1774. Can you please check if this is a description override bug as have occurred before?

Re: In-Game Typos

A couple more Pythium unit questions:

The LA Pythium Limitane units should actually be Limitanei (plural - Limitatenses)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limitanei

The LA Pythium Comitatense unit should actually be Comitatensis (plural - Comitatenses)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comitatenses

I could understand if the name change was intentional though, these units are a mouthful! :)
