French leader spelt wrong

[JellyDonut]

"Spelt" is one of those British past tenses, like "dreamt" or "learnt."

And it really should be Jeanne d'Arc. One of the first things I'm going to do is correct all the "translated" (butchered) leaders and cities. So it'll be Jeanne d'Arc (not Joan of Arc) who owns Lyon (not Lyons) and Besançon (not Besancon) speaking with Otto von Bismarck (not Otto the Bus Driver) about exchanging Köln (not Cologne) and München (not Munich) for Orléans (not Orleans) and a pact against Mao Zedong (not Mao Tse Tung).

[Lawrence of Arabia]

like Jeanne d'Arc (I think the "d" in d'Arc is lowercase... if you want to get specific).

Yes, you're right

... and speaking with Yekaterina (not Catherine) who lives in Moskva (not Moscow) about nuking the city of Roma (not Rome).

Actually, that was an N64 game, and yes, you are right.

Hey I think "***** of the French" would work...

That's got my vote, Cass

Bah, bring back Napoleon

[dainbramaged13]

whyd they scrap him in the first place?

[Chuckles]

Yes I can not believe they are spelling it Joan d'Arc. That is just senseless.

You mean EKATEPuHA and MOCKBA?
...and rejecting the offer, instead allying with IVLIVS CÆSAR (not Julius Caesar) to partition POCCuS| (Not Russia) so that you get CAHKT |*|ETEP6YP|* (not Saint Petersburg) and he gets APXAH|*E^bCK (not Archangelsk), and then going to war with the city below (not Tokyo). Really, how hard would it be to make Civ III Unicode-compliant?
