Snampy: /* Eastern Invasion */

This page is meant to be a list of mistakes in campaigns and other texts in the en_US development version of the game.

==An Orcish Incursion==
In the preamble to scenario 3, there is one verb in present tense. It should be past tense, like everything else.

"The signs were obvious and unmistakable - tree stumps, an occasional half-rotten tree felled long ago, and dead wood around them in scarce grass. This had been forest once, like the woods they called home. It '''has''' been murdered."

"It '''had''' been murdered."

==Delfador's Memoirs==

==Descent into Darkness==

==Eastern Invasion==

v 1.7.1 In Northern Outpost, scenario objectives window shows <small> tags in title. After several viewings, the objectives window shows no title.

==Heir to the Throne==

==Liberty==
The first storyline phrases are:

"In the Era of Turmoil, during the reign of King Garard II, the border towns of Delwyn and Dallben in the province of Annuvingrew increasingly dissatisfied with the King's rule. Being preoccupied with the great wars, the King was unable to send adequate forces to protect the frontier."

but I think that "Being preoccupied with the great wars" should be substituted with "Being worried about the (upcoming?) great wars", since "preoccupied" is not so common in English.
*''lotsofphil says:'' I disagree. I think there is nothing wrong with preoccupied.

Scenario 6 is called "The Gray Woods." Gray should be spelled with an E since that is how it is on the map. So...
* Changes in Scenario 5
**next_scenario=the_gr'''e'''y_woods (line 4)
**"Well, good thing I found you first. Now hurry, you must make it past the city into the Gr'''e'''y Woods.
* Changes in Scenario 6
** name = _ "The Gr'''e'''y Woods"
** map_data="{campaigns/Liberty/maps/gray_woods.map}" (if you want)
** "The defeat of the evil lich infesting the Gr'''e'''y Woods was a bittersweet victory. With Helicrom dead, "
* Changes in Scenario 7
** "Baldras and his men quickly left the Gr'''e'''y Woods, not entirely convinced of their safety even after eradicating the lich."
**"As they marched, many men and women from the small hamlets peppering the area around Carcyn and the Gr'''e'''y Woods approached the group, "

==Northern Rebirth==

msgid ""
"Ro'Arthian's brother, Ro'Sothian went south with another crew of trolls, "
"ogres and mages. Tallin himself led the western group."

In version 1.6 its Anita=Eryssa, who leads the southern forces, not Ro'Sothian.
BTW: She got 100 gold only and was no big use, maybe I squandered it in the scenario before - there she started with 500 gold.

==Sceptre of Fire==
In Scenario 1, "elves" is incorrectly capitalized.

"I was never among those who agreed to that treaty. Not all of us '''E'''lves are as low as Kalenz, or make deals with those who betrayed us."

Scenario 7 is called "Outriding the Outriders" but the name of the file is
trunk/data/campaigns/Sceptre_of_Fire/scenarios/7_Outriding_'''of'''_Outriders.cfg

Throughout the campaign, the capitalization of the Ruby of Fire and the Sceptre of Fire are confused. If Sceptre of Fire is capitalized, then "the Sceptre" should be too.

In Scenario 8, "elvish" is incorrectly capitalized.
"Thus Alanin escaped from his '''Elvish''' pursuers."

In Scenario 2t, there is an "an" where there should be an "a":
* "He gave us a magical stone, called the 'Ruby of Fire', and told us to make '''an''' sceptre out of it"

In Scenario 3t, the "Eastern Mines" are capitalized once and not another time. Pick one:
* "Fine, you all go to the eastern mines."
* "Durstorn, send some miners along with us to the Eastern Mines"
It's not capitalized twice in the next scenario, so go for no caps.

In Scenario 5, dwarves shouldn't be capitalized
* "Aha! I've spent years looking for you Dwarves"

In Scenario 6, sceptre is misspelled
* "if he wants his scepter intact he'd best send troops to meet us there."

==Son of the Black Eye==
Scenario 6, east is improperly capitalized:
"When we realized that there was no way we could hold the humans off, we sent them '''East''' to a place near the Mourned Hills"

Scenario 8: River should be capitalized. "A lot of hunters from the tribes used to hunt here and fish in the Bork '''river'''."

Scenario 10: River should be capitalized. "The fortified bridge over the Bork '''river'''"

Scenario 13:
* Northern should not be capitalized. "the first snows of the long '''Northern''' winter began to fall."
* river Bork should be Bork River. "the orcs sailed up the '''river Bork'''"

==The Hammer of Thursagan==
In Scenario 3, Strange Allies, the word "marsh" is typo-ed as "march".

"Soon enough they came to the wilder '''march''' country, where raids by large bands of hostile orcs and men were all too common."

==The Legend of Wesmere==
In Scenario 1, "elves" is capitalized a couple of times when it shouldn't be.
* Some changes were good. The Elves, awakened as from a long dream, began to increase in population.
* This is the story of Kalenz, and of the Elves in the days of the humans in Wesnoth.
It is like capitalizing "humans."

==The Rise of Wesnoth==

==The South Guard==

''data/campaigns/The_South_Guard/scenarios/02_Proven_By_The_Sword.cfg:315''

"Peace! for I am no enemy. -> "Peace! For I am no enemy.

''trunk/data/campaigns/The_South_Guard/utils/sg_story.cfg''

The '''B''' in Mal M'Brin is capitalized everywhere except in the epilogue.

* "A great cry they let out as they stormed the encampment of Mal M'brin himself, and threw down the mighty wizard."
* should be
* "A great cry they let out as they stormed the encampment of Mal M''''B'''rin himself, and threw down the mighty wizard."

==Two Brothers==
In the preamble to scenario 2, the "Grey Woods" are referred to as the "Gray Woods". The former is correct since that's how it is spelled on the map.

"The pursuit had already run for several days when the pursuers came to the bounds of the huge forest known as the '''Gray Woods'''. Ancient tales warned of lost souls haunting the wood, hunting and killing anyone brave enough to enter it."

On the turn after you recruit the elves, if you attack the quintain with Konrad, Delfador will say "Your elf used a sword...". He should say nothing, or perhaps say something along the lines of "Try attacking the quintain with one of your elves."
