Cincinnati or Columbus?

Spotted this error in v1.08. Not sure if it still exists in 1.10

Regarding USA, Cincinnati is called that everywhere in game display except on the map (where it is shown as Columbus). Search finds it spelled as Cincinnati.

It still exists. The proper thing to do is to change the map. I wonder whether this is sensible or has serious downsides.

Why don't you just rename the province to Columbus? Easiest. Alternatively I can modify the map to make it read Cinncinnati.

 

[Pang Bingxun]

We had changed it from Columbus, because that was not fitting.

Why? Columbus is smack in the middle of Ohio and the capital? I am happy to modifie the map for you. Would be a matter of 10 Minutes.

Anyway, a number of people here over the years seem to be offended by incorrect spelling of places. I for one have my pet peeve -- the Columbus territory should be spelled "Cincinnati". In 1940 Cincinnati was the largest city located in that province. It had twice the land area and twice the population of Columbus then. As Casey Stengle used to say -- "You can look it up."

This had been the motivation for changing it.

True. Let me know about the map.
