I understand the admins and creators of this game are Russian, but some of the translations are pretty horrendous/silly.
If you truly want to achieve a large international base of customers, they shouldn't be confronted with strange language every couple of minutes.
Perhaps hire someone to do a good translation?
P.S
For true english speakers, even the title of the game sounds a little odd. You start off with Heroes, which is kind of poetic and then follow up with crude, egoistical terms like war and money. Perhaps gold and glory would have been better? The very mention of wealth kinda negates the hero quality of the title though. |
| I think the admin has done a good job translating. For your example, The word Heroes i presume is chosen because this game was created out of our passion for the game Heroes of Might and Magic. Almost all of the terms and words are used to be similar to the original game. |
| The name of the game is good. I woudnt judge them and to fix the grammar 100% correctly. For playing a free game you sure a picky xD |

I'm not writing in the ideas section because I'm annoyed or angry, I'm writing in it to actually help the game. Just because a game is free its creators shouldn't strive for perfection? I'm sure they want to provide the best game they possibly can.
Yes Bevan, I know this is a hommage to the old game. Yet, heroes of might and magic implies a feeling of honor, strength and power. Heroes of money and war makes me think of a more corrupt version of "heroes". This may be right though, seeing as the heroes themselves run away when their army dies.
Another idea I came up with (read: stole from world of warcraft), to help curb the huge iron ore etc stocks is to craft some kind of reputation hand-in boost. Hand in 10 iron ore and get xx rep with some faction. Makes sure the stuff remains valuable even for high level players. |
Heh.
But the thing is they tried to make a similar name as Heroes of might and magic:) I find that pretty nice and i like the game name:) |
| I agree. A professional writing job makes things much more enjoyable and polished. Of course, I happen to be a writer, but don't hold that against me :-) |
"Heroes of Gold and Glory" does sound better, but "War and Money" reminds me of good ol' Leo Tolstoy.
About grammar... I don't mind the grammar of the admins (translators) as much as I do the grammar of most players. -_-
Some improvements could be made on the game itself, but basicly it's quite understandable. |
