It would sound more fluent of you say "Every fleet you have discovered remains at the port for a total of 2 hours. After that, it vanishes."

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.


"Every fleet you discover" is grammatically correct; however, the rest of the sentence still needs to be corrected

Your suggestion of "Every fleet you discovered" is not. Due to the tense of the action, the past particle "have" needs to be used. When spoken, most people will mistakenly pronounce the conjunction "you've" (you have) as just "you" and thus translate the phrase incorrectly.

The statements below are grammatically correct. The second and third statements are identical, with the only noted difference being that the third statement uses the conjunction "you've" instead of spelling out the two words.

Every fleet you discover will remain in port for 2 hours before vanishing.

Every fleet you have discovered will remain in port for 2 hours before vanishing.

Every fleet you've discovered will remain in port for 2 hours before vanishing.

Fast travel screen on one of my trade routes:
"IF you wish, you can use your turns to make your ship reach its destination immediately. The cost of the turns is relative to time remaining for your ships to reach their destination.
This ship is currently in a trade route. You can fasten it normally. It will automatically sell&buy and move to the next port within 1 minute."

It would make more sense to say, "if you wish, you can use your turns to make your fleet reach its destination immediately. The cost of turns is relative to the time remaining for your ships to reach their destination normally.
This ship is currently in a trade route. (Not sure what this sentence is supposed to mean...). It will automatically sell its cargo, buy more goods, and move to the next port within 1 minute." This or something like it.

Not really a typo but seems incorrect:
when players are ordered by last login time, aphabetical order leads to
> 30 days
> 4 days
> 7 days
which is not ordered :)
Stay tuned on Radio Image Bermuda!

Actually that is ordered exactly as it should, as it orders by character not numerical value. They would need to use two digit numbering to correct this 04 instead of just 4.

Although a female country ruler shows up as "(Queen)" on profiles, I was looking through other countries and whenever viewing a country's council, it shows up as king still.
