It's NOT cartoon. And NEVER look up that term, trust me. I did a long time ago, and it is not pleasant.

Look, as nobody's doing anything, I'm going to have to be pretty arbitrary about this and then let whomever wishes complain. And I'm talking about you, Neo and Volkov.

So -- and I hope this will make everyone happy, but if not, complain -- the following are the renamings I've decided on:

(Oh, if you do complain, make sure you suggest a replacement.)

Missions: (Most of these could be bettered but nobody bothers to make a single damn suggestion on them.)
Forage stays.
Loot -> Raise Tax
Recruit -> Press-gang
Explore stays.
Heal -> Medical Attention
Hawk Battle -> Covert Operation

Troops:
Hawks -> Spies (Volkov will be glad)
Sapraba -> Spearmen (Thanks Neo)
Theuroporai -> Skirmishers (Thanks Neo)
Chrysapides -> Pikemen (Thanks Neo)

Buildings:
Huts -> Barracks (I'm sorry, but you need to come up with a proposal for a change, V)

Sounds fair. I'll wait for some more input from Devari, Rudder, Neo, and whoever else who feels like contributing. But if no better idea is proposed I'll accept it by default.

Thank you sweetie.

Back to business.

---

We already had our tussle over stats. I thought we were finished with them.

---

My babies were the Prepare/recall troops things... Fund/Recall Expedition...

Othewise, we spoke a few times on AIM and the things you had a problem with I rectified (or did my best to do so), and I made my own suggestions (however limited) to name changes for the various functions... it was a community call here so its not all gotta be pointed to me and volkov.

I'm just here to help.

Anything that looks odd or that you don't like. Naming and suchlike. Or if you have better ideas for some of the stuff (missions, especially), you've still got a few days to get them in.

I really like that you guys are working out a historical theme but not being a history buff. I dont have any decent suggestions to offer.
