Success! Our magicans casted a spell on the enemy resource center and managed to destroy 4% iron.


Cast is the correct present and past tense forms

Been dreaming, I've been waiting, To fly with those brave ponies

Re: Grammar and Spelling Hunters, Unite!

Rather the game didn't use American format for dates - 4th February was ages ago...
The ISO standard is yyyymmdd
The international passport standard is dd mmm yy

Is it so hard to write a date neatly?

Re: Grammar and Spelling Hunters, Unite!

In the family news is read:
Week X,X  FamA sabotaged the Player portal on planet XX,XX:XX.

would read better as:
Week X,X FamA  sabotaged Player's portal on planet XX,XX:XX.

On behalf of Lightguns, so any possible tagpoints or so should go to him:

Should be ...has no... as it refers to one family.

^Isn't that some weird European thing where they refer to things like this (teams, families, etc.) as plural?

Re: Grammar and Spelling Hunters, Unite!

Many of our scienctists suddenly died by heart attacks today our wizards report that this was caused by magic from Drones, we lost 3% of our total collected research.

scienctists -> scientists

by -> of

maybe also add a comma or fullstop between 'today' and 'our'


Either:

Many of our scientists suddenly died of heart attacks today. Our wizards report this was caused by magic from Drones, causing us to lose 3% of our total collected research.

Re: Grammar and Spelling Hunters, Unite!

to

Week 40, Year 2833    Buildings complete    We have built 30 Mining facilities on xx,yy:zz

Should be a simple fix (apologies for the upcoming pseudocode):

builtminingfacility(x)

if (builtminingfacility=1){
    print("We have built 1 Mining facility on"+coordinate)
}
else {
    print("We have built "+x+" Mining facilities on"+coordinate)
}

the exact implementation would be up to yourself, ofcourse

Re: Grammar and Spelling Hunters, Unite!

The powerful Tokaasi Empire of the distant Veddek Galaxy is luring agents from all over the galaxy with promises of fortunes and fame. We are steadily losing agents.

fortunes -> fortune

could also be rephrased:
