Here is another one from the section explaining how patrolling works:

2. Pirate Hunter fleets can be quite strong and their strength is often unrivaled. You may need more than 1 attempts to beat a Pirate Hunter.


It should read "more than 1 attempt" -- "attempts" should be singular

here is a 6th one today. this is the explanation for plunder mission #11:

Plunder Mission #11
Title: Beat 500 Player Fleets
Tip/Hints: A marvelous milestone that we can reach! The reward wil be Lucrative!


first, "reward wil" -- will needs 2 l's
second, "Lucrative" should not be capitalized

here's another one. this is from the general info - ship upgrade info screen:

For each cannon shoot, upgrades interfere that decide where a cannon fire was successful or not.


not really sure what this is meant to say. But as it is, it does not make any sense

this one is from the titles info screen:

Marquess
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Historically, Marquess were given land on the borders of a nation. This meant that a marquess was trusted to defend and fortify against potentially hostile neighbors and was thus more important and ranked higher than a count.


In the first sentence, "Marquess were given" should read "Marquesses were given"
the marquess needs to be plural

All Fixed. Thank you 8-)

Chaulbad wrote:^ Alright.

On the "Free Gold & Credits Page," it says "Monitor Your Friends Progress." An apostrophe should be inserted if I'm not mistaken :D


Should be your Friends's perhaps? It does not seem right.
Perhaps a rephrase would be better?

Like:
Monitor the progress of your friends.

What do you all think?

Friends's sounds like something Gollum would say.
I don't know, it seems to me if they ain't got you one way they got you another,
So what's the answer? that's what I keep asking myself, what's it all about?
Know what l mean?

This is not exactly a typo, in fact, is a bit of misinformation. Under "How Skirmish works":

------------------------

If the attacking fleet wins, then:

a) All defending fleet's Cargo is lost
-Gold Bars are transfered to the attacking fleet's port warehouse. If the attacker has no warehouse there the gold bars are lost. If the space is insufficient, then the excessive gold bars are lost.
-Wood,Iron,Tools,Cotton,Rum,Tobacco and Food, are transformed in gold coins (base prices are assumed) and attacker receives them. This is called as Cargo Value. (Gold Bars are NOT counted for the Cargo Value)

b)A gold loot is applied, equal to the Cargo Value
This gold loot is removed from defender's treasury. If defender's treasury is less than the gold loot, then he pays as much as his treasury has minus 1. This means that Skirmishes can return 0 earnings.

c)Fame loss is equal to Cargo Value - Maximum loss is 1% of total defender's fame.
If defender has 100 Fame or less, Fame Loss is 0.

-------------------------

Minor typo at the end of point a): "This is called as Cargo Value" should be "This is called the Cargo Value".

However, the main problem is point b), which seems to be WRONG. All of it. Point a) is correct: Target loses all cargo, this is translated to gold coins, attacker recieves these gold coins. Point b) states that an additional, and equal, sum is transferred from the targets treasury to the attackers treasury. To my experience, that is wrong (and SHOULD be wrong, as that would mean you lost twice the value you carried if you were skirmished).

So, I was at the How Patrol works ? page
And i noticed this,
"2.Every fleet you discover,remains at the port for a total of 2 hours. After that, it is vanished."

It should be "Every fleet you discovered, remains at the port for a total of 2 hours. After that, it vanishes." at the end of it.

Also the space after he "discover," is not there.

They are small things but i think i should tell you.

General Settings
Select Gender: Male | Female
Save Settings

This should say Gender Settings on charter screen and link to it.. General settings would be more like if we could change the background colors of the game as if ea person had there own graphics settings. Unless you plan on additional settings latter down the road. But as its right now there is only one setting there and misleads you to a sex change setting
