Typo in game

Post by JudgeDredd »

When selecting the Power level of the computer/human players, the options are
Very Weaker should be Very Weak
Much Weaker
Weaker
Normal
Stronger
Much Stronger
Very Stronger should be Very Strong

This is actually a left over from CoG. Very minor, but I thought it ought be mentioned. [;)]

You've got it all wrong: that's a WCS tradition, not a typo.

Is this one a "...WCS tradition..." too, or really a typo

When looking at the Nation tab and moving the mouse over the Great Britain section, it starts by saying :

English Trade
Trade determines the level of material support that FRANCE can supply to CSA


Also, why do all the tabs mention CSA when I am playing USA? Should the above not say "...can supply to USA" if I am playing USA?

That England/France confusion does appear to be a mistake. As for your second question, check out the "Diplomacy" section of the manual -- you'll see that all diplomacy pertains to whether the CSA gets or doesn't get support from Europe.

"Very" here functions as an adverb modifying the adjectives "stronger" or "weaker". People often use "very" in its adverbial form, as in the sentence: "I walk very quickly."

I'd go along with this. The grammar is correct, though the commonly used adverb "much", in this construction, is used more often. Here in America you don't see such sentences as "He was very weaker when he awoke this morning."

The sentence that you use-- "'I walk very quickly'"-- is not the same, I wouldn't think. "Quickly" is an adverb, being modified by another adverb, "very". "Stronger" is a comparative adjective.

Saying "I walk very quicker" is more to the same type of construction. Though, as said earlier, you have an adverb modifying an adjective, it is more common to use "much". Now something like "I walk very much quicker" is standard, where you have "very", an adverb, modifying another adverb, "much".

Sorry, I was trying to be cheeky.  "Much stronger" or "very strong" would be correct.

Not really a typo I guess but Fort Drewry's Bluff should be named Fort Darling.  Drewry's Bluff is the name of the land on which Fort Darling was constructed.

And while they're at it, they have Ft. Vicksburg and Ft. Garrot reversed on the map.

Vicksburg and Ft. Garrot are in the same province -- do you think either one should be in a different province?
