typos

from GalCiv3 Forums

High Capacity Hulls, tech discovery message: "We're now able us to build..." should be "We're now able to build...".

Precursor Factory Planet description: "A Precursor World, with a vast orbital manufacturing factory rings.  That greatly increases the potential manufacturing of the world."  should read "A Precursor World with 3 vast orbital manufacturing factory rings that greatly increase all Construction output of this world."  If "all construction" is not accurate, it should be, or else the text should specify the type.

The real typographic sin is a singular article "a" and a plural noun "rings", but the rest of the text seemed less crisp and clear than your usual standards.  Mentioning the visual three rings seems to match the text and image up with the 30% bonus effect on a subliminal level. Your call on that.  But fix the noun/article mismatch before you risk the ire of elementary English teachers everywhere.  :)

Pragmatic Ideology Efficient:  "they can now maintaining themselves" should be "they can now maintain themselves".

Precursor Mysteries tech discovery text: "We have discovered one how to reproduce" should be "We have discovered how to reproduce".

The text is open to deliberate misconstrualty, if that is a word, as shown above.  After all, discovering reproduction should be much earlier in the tech tree for organic races. ;)

Here are some typos in FlavorText.xml for both versions.  They are listed from first to last to make it easier to search for the location.

Sadlly should be Sadly.

per day should be per week.  It is actually per turn, but a turn is a week, not a day.

ascension gate should be ascension crystal.  Also, later in that conversation there is {AMOUNT:1} which needs the word credits after it.

miltiary should be military.

If the amount is "1", then the word needed is "credit".

 {AMOUNT:1} is a tag (or variable) that holds the amount.  Some of the others in the file are {AMOUNT:2}, {PLAYERFACTION:1}, {PLAYERFACTION:2}, {PLAYERFACTION:3}, {LEADERNAME:1}, {LEADERNAME:2}, {TECHNAME:1} and {TECHNAME:2}.  There are others in the file and some others in other files.

This is how you get conversations like this:

<Text>I'm sure you agree that the {PLAYERFACTIONLONG:3} is a blight on this galaxy. Rise up to your responsibility and declare war on them; we will provide {AMOUNT:1} credits to remove any concern of expense.</Text>

Hahaha!

 

Nice find(s), @erischild! I've become somewhat numb to them, but I found one the other day which made me wrinkle my nose :P

misconstrualty, if that is a word

Not.  But may should be.  Or "construalage" in keeping with the Buffy universe.

Benevolent, Prominence I, Eminence. "and build your reputation as a benevolent race." should read "and builds your reputation as a Benevolent race."

Tech Stellar Emigration:  "Humans are admired throughout the galaxy, reflecting the success of our civilization." I am not playing a human faction.  Try "We are admired throughout the galaxy, ...."

Tech Cultural Assimilation"  "Foreign cultures.....new arrivals."  should read "....new discoveries." 

"By doing so can increase" should read "By doing so we can increase".

Not exactly typos but issues worth mentioning nonetheless:

This isn't a typo, but an error.  All the Trade items the tooltip says "One per Player", but all the ones I can see are additive.  For instance, Anthro. Viriles 5% Growth.  I have 9.  On all my worlds the Pop (Growth) breakdown includes "Anthro. Viriles  45%".  A couple more that are visible do likewise, including the +1 Food. 

So not One per Player.

Study the Durantium Cloud Event, Pragmatic Choice:  "+5% armor rating to all ship."  should be "all ships.".

Reply #15 from GalCiv3 Forums Top

I am not sure if this is a proper typo, but Precursor Treasury has:

+10 Benevolent, +10% Research to this colony.

+10 Pragmatic, +5% to all weapons on all our ships.

+10 Malevolent, +5% to all weapons on all our ships.

 

What +5% for each?

There are other events with the same bonus for more than one Ideology.  It does not seem to indicate a typo.  And yes, there can be more than one trait bonus per event.  A buff to all weapons types is simply a list of three calls in the code.

"+5% to all weapons on all our ships"

 

I think he's suggesting that "+5% to each weapon on all our ships" is more correct.  Numerically, they're identical.

IMO not a typo.

+5% to range?

+5% to damage?

+5% to targeting?

 

+5% to what stat?

Ah, good point.  Not the only example of egregious lack of due information.
