To the Russian community,
it is ridiculous for you guys to have to to download a patch every time RFCEurope has a new version. I tried to include the Russian version into the second Alpha. I can switch to Russian in my game, however, all I get is monkey symbols, since I only have the US version of the game and hence no Cyrillic fonts. If the thing works, however, you should be able to just download and the new version and play it without the need for any Russian patch. (I only wish we could find people to do that in French, Italian and Spanish)
In the next Alpha, there are two new flags (one for The Great Schism and one for the Resource requirements of the Colonies). Also the Moscovska UHV and UP has changes and I could not make the required changes. I don't speak Russian and I have no tools to edit the Cyrillic characters (in the files they are only in terms of numbers). In the future, if I just post tags with text whenever there is something new (it will not be very often at his stage), and if you just translate those tags to the proper format, then I will make sure the XML is always up to date with all the required Russian.
I hope we can make that arrangement and I also hope you enjoy the new Kiev and Moscow gameplay.
