It is shurely possible to google for the whole story.
Ritual self-disembodyment (sp?) was and is called "seppuko".
Given that you did this rather avoidable mistake, I wonder how well-researched everything else is?

He also has the short sword misnamed. The correct name is "wakizashi".
I'm sure that if we go through his mod with a very critical eye we'll find other quirks. Rather than nitpick textual inaccuracies, I think it's more productive to evaluate the units themselves, and the gameplay of the mod as a whole.
Still, if you feel that perfect text is most important, you are certainly entitled to that view. However, it is *my* view that you can, and should, be somewhat less confrontational in presenting your findings than to use a statement such as "Given that you did this rather avoidable mistake, I wonder how well-researched everything else is?" It's rude.
