Announcement from the development team!

nice

[bOrIuM]

how you know a city is a fortress and how many fleches they have ? adding to this, are the towers in the background of the city representing the towers for the garnison ?

[Joisey]

I take the spires on the screen shot to mean exactly the same thing as in the original game.

Your question about the Flechettes is a good one, however. What's the answer, Marshall? How do we know from the map where the fortresses are? [&:]

[Marshall Ellis]

Hey guys:

Correct the spires (circled in red) are the city size and we've added fortress towers (circled in blue) as the city's fortification value.

Again, I apologize for the fuzzy graphics. Looks much better uncompressed.

Thak you

Marshall:

Remember than in the board game (and in your game too) there are a Spanish city called "Cuidad Real"

The really name of this city (past and present) is Ciudad Real

On the second picture above Belgrade the city is called Temesvár. not Temesvara. If we are after typos.

We've got MANY map issues to be fixed (spelling mostly). You're looking at a draft map so don't spend too much time proofing since most issues have been identified and docuemented for the graphics team. I'm just illustrating the city symbols.
 
Thank you

No pun intended, just wanted to let you know. Looks like I forgot the smileys. [;)]

BTW which version of the names will you use the contemporary or the current? You knwo in east europe most city have names in 3-5 different languages and these are used according to the political situation.

Actually, Matrix is going to provide mouse-over information which will show the names on the map in 424 different languages. And then in the manual, more map-name translations will appear, from all the languages that ever existed since the world's beginning.

This way, Matrix is sure to satisfy everyone, dead or alive.

And if they don't, what? Will Muslim hordes start burning cars in France?

Well don't...just ask.

[Ursa MAior]

Why? I was not rude or impolite or anything. Why may I not ask? The thought police will intervene?

Ursa,

Generally the names provided on the EiA or EiH maps (correct or not) unless Marshall spelled it wrong and the art people missed the correction then it would called current.

thx

In the city that I said (Ciudad Real, and is the same problem that Ciudad Rodrigo, and I forget it in the upper post), the question it's not the translate: It says in the same manner in Spanish than in other languages. But the english people frequently changes the place of both characters (I don´t know why, but is frequenty in the past and in the present). The translation of "Ciudad" is city, or town. The problem is like if I say "Yorktonw" in the place of "Yorktown", for example.

It's not a language problem (both cities are allways in castilian), but wrong writing. Never was Cuidad, neither in spanish nor in english

Sh sh we wont be allowed in the forums anmore if we carry on. [:(]

[Norden_slith]

Trust me, some of the german (and close by) principalities with their english names, I didnt even recognize them, if not for their geographical location.

Kleves? A small city named Kleve, hmm ok, I guess...
Duchies?
Palatinate?? Ahhh, "Pfalz" or "Kurpfalz" if electoral.


and,
shouldnt "Hesse" be "Hessen",
"Hanover" be "Hannover",
"Wittenburg" be "Wittenberg"?

and so on.

In Denmark, "Esbjorg" is "Esbjerg" and until around 1890 or so, housed all of 20 fisherman. Compare that with Flensburg or Schleswig (the actual name of the Duchie from where I come).

To be frank, the game plays just fine, even with these errors and Im sure there are hundreds of them. When the game starts, other things are much more important [:D] .

[La Provence]

Do you edit a french version of the game ?
.......a game with all the legends in french ?
 
Thanks

[vanmi]

Yes like LA Provence, do you release a complet french version ? and the game release ?

It's too hard to wait !
