The Patronage tree's mouseover doesn't begin with "Adopting Patronage..." like all the other trees do. (Or perhaps this is intentional because of length/space constraints?)

Also, the Civilopedia seems to contain two Ship of the Line entries: one obsolete one describing vanilla's England UU and one describing VEM's different unit.

reported this post myself.
 
I've done so already – right after posting the topic, in fact! And yes, in my experience they've been very fast and courteous. :)
 
:D @ discussion.
And yes, we don't mind to get noticed about such misplacings. It's nice to see that other people care about the forum, and such reports are always welcome :).

Moderator Action: -> Thread moved.
(...and why did it take so long? Because I also sometimes sleep ;)).
 
It's better than having to deal with flamewars. :)

I've been thinking about dropping the "Adopting this gives" text from policy openers. It's difficult to word a description with that text:
  • Gold gifts to City-States give +20% :c5influence: Influence.
  • Adopting Patronage increases the :c5influence: Influence from gold gifts to city-states by 20%."
  • Adopting Patronage causes gold gifts to city-states to give +20% :c5influence: Influence.
Version A has the number and icon next to one another, which I find easier to read than splitting them apart like B. Version C is in the passive voice, which I try to avoid.

ShowInPedia is "false" for the English version of the ship of the line, so if it still shows up, it's the vanilla data reading bug we can't fix.
 
I'd support either making it D. "Adopting Patronage gives +20% :c5influence: Influence from gold gifts to City-States" or simply dropping all the the "Adopting..."s.

Thanks as always for the quick, informative response, Thal!
 
With that one, the independent clause reads "Adopting Patronage gives +20% :c5influence: Influence," which sounds weird without the dependent clause. It's the gold gifts which provide influence, not the policy itself. Yeah, I'm a perfectionist... my high school english teacher would be proud. :lol:
