Errors in the leader file

[unmerged(18425)]

I am not sure if this should be reported as a bug, or has done so before, but there are quite an amount of errors in the leader files.

To give two obvious examples:

• De Ruyter, important Dutch leader, should have a deathdate of 1676, not 1667 as it is now.
• Friedrich II, important Prussian leader, should have a deathdate of 1786, not 1780.

I have checked a lot of the leaders for various countries and spotted more errors. What to do with it?

Either get supporting documentation or discuss it in the general EU2 forum, and post back here with agreed outcomes.

Okay,

Well supporting documentation for De Ruyter death date:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Ruyter

He died 29 April 1676.

And: http://members.lycos.nl/filazeeland/ruyter.html also gives 1676 as death date.

There easily can be found more if necessary.

I will do other leaders later.

Did the historically fight battles after the deathdates we have now? If not, that's probably the case for the earlier dates.

EDIT: Ruyter did fight until 1676, and AGCEEP have deathdate of Friedrich 1786.

Yup, he actually died in a battle in 1676.
