The Help

The help in queosia is very confusing and misleading, largely due to the lack of familiarity with the english language. May i suggest that the person responsible for it request for players proficient in english to rewrite the help?

man.. i need to change my name i'm quedos

Hi
hi you Moron
two problems most hungarians do not know what moron means.
Second if you dont specifie what is misleading whats wrong in the help than they wont do anything.
They wont correct it or write a new one if someone tells that it sux.

I would strongly disagree with the first sentence. I think at least 70% of the hungarians knows what moron means and about 90% of the hodito members :P

Sorry I didnt know I thought it is not that well known word in Hungary. but I káán Hardly believe that the 70% of players forom hodito can even speak english better than some words.

i did not think i had to specify. it is everywhere. not only are there uncertainties, the english is just plain ugly; which discouragingly, does not help with the gaming experience. there is a lack of correlation between the story lines and technical specs too. and many of the frustrating problems have to do with technical specifics. it is understandble considering its origin and players. but there is nothing wrong with improvement.
i'll provide 2 simple examples (first of which has to do with technical specs, and second, use of language) that i had some problems with.
quote: +20% place in the buildings
explanation: i think its undefined meaning of 'buildings' is clear.
quote: In battles they get more land and more loot. In conquest they get +1% land, in pillage they get +10% loot.
explanation: since it was never mentioned anywhere else in the guide about the numbers on land gains through conquest (exact numbers or otherwise), people could very likely intepret that as 101% of the usual land gains. which later i'm told otherwise is just an additional 1% on top of the usual roughly 7%. and even if it was mentioned, it should still be stated as well.
it is hard to see these obscurity if you have been playing the game for more than a few months, but when i was new, i could hardly understand the guide. please do not interpret this as arrogance but it was not due to my ineptness with english but rather the author's lack of perceptiveness of the many implications of english words. and please do not find fault with my "lack of perceptiveness". it is a written guide and as such should be as clear as possible. i play another game utopia, for a much longer time now, and its guide is much better i'd have to say. take a look and you'll understand my meaning: games.swirve.com/utopia/help/
thanx for reading this far

The problem is that you can be a 100% right, but if you dont write exact problems they wont react.

Im not making the game I just know you got a really small chance that they will make a better help.
The hungarian isnt the best either.
And on the other side they didnt worte down everything in the help. so there are stuff you ll have too experience and then learn hot they work anyway. Make some experiments.

so Sorry but Ive got a filling the help is not going to be changed...
