Re: What else is coming before the demo?
Förlåt mig, jag talar och skrivar bara dålig svensk. Vad menar "all makt åt folket" i engelska?

Jag tänker, att 'makt' är 'might' i engelska. Jag vet inte, om Kristoffer menar att vi skulle hjälpa Folket att göra hans 'ninja scrool total conversion' eller om han menar, att vi skulle 'use might' eller vara 'violent' åt han.
For all you false believers who don't know Swedish, the Language of the Cryphic Error Messages -  . Your loss.
Heja Sverige!
P.S.
I think he means that we should help Folket, not hurl giant boulders at him in our Scandinavian fury. I'm not quite sure about the interpretation, though, and it might still change...

If that's another Swedish phrase we're supposed to learn for Dominions III, I expect to be pretty fluent in Swedish by Dominions 10^6

Re: What else is coming before the demo?
I think the correct translation should be "all power to the people".

Oh, of course. I feel dumb.
I wondered why he didn't capitalize folket, but it seems it wasn't a name after all.

Re: What else is coming before the demo?
Don't worry, the trickssy Swede caught me too. Of course, I do have the excuse of not being supposed to know any Swedish in the first place.
I recommend that all secret talks be done in... say, Ancient Greek instead (let's put that Unicode thing to good use).
