Sevo, you call the Dutch leader 'Wilhelm van Oranie' in your mod, while it should be 'Willem van Oranje-Nassau'. 'Wilhelm' is German, 'Willem' is Dutch. Great mod, by the way.

William, you're from Kampen, NL..im dutch too! if there's one thing you should have learned at high school, it's that the dutch royal family is a german family! actually, all original dutch are 100% german! wether you like it or not
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_I._%28Oranien-Nassau%29
born in Dillenburg, Hessen, Middle of the German Empire
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dillenburg
give me one good reason why germans in the middle of germany would use "modern dutch" writing?
Wilhelm I. (Oranien-Nassau)
Wilhelm von Oranien
Willem de zwijger
..many other names for this dutchmen are also valid and beeing used
father
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_%28Nassau%29
mother
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juliana_zu_Stolberg
both parents 100% german..but yes, writing as 'Wilhelm van Oranie' is a strange way, dutch+german
official dutch national hymne:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Het_Wilhelmus
why in gods name would the dutch officially sing wilHelmus if it would be written Willem?
it's Wilhelm(us) officially!!
because the man was german, is german, and will be german
and it won't change because of dutch sentiments

old empire back to 800AD.
you see any reason to "think" the old people wrote modern dutch? don't forget, dutch is not a real language anyway, it's derived from a german dialekt spoken in the nord..fränkisches dialect from Niederdeutsch...this dialect used up to 200years ago the german articles, the namensfälle etc..any reason to even assume willem would be used in the time of Wilhelm von Oranien-Nassau?
