I found a text error with either the "interface.csv" file or the game engine, depending on which you decide to correct. The problem is with the tool-tip text that should display when mousing-over the little green arrow next to armies that are listed as moving in the outliner pop-up. Currently with v1.1, it says "OL_UNIT_MOVING" tool-tip text when you mouse-over the green arrow. The problem is that in the "interface.csv" file, this is listed as "OL_ARMY_MOVE" in the OUTLINER section.

If the "csv" files can be edited (they can, right?), then an easy fix is to change the "OL_ARMY_MOVE" to "OL_UNIT_MOVING" instead, so the game engine finds the correct UI text reference. Otherwise, the game engine needs to be changed to using the correct UI text reference.

If some other file is involved too, more may need correcting, so someone at Paradox needs to verify this.

Oh, just to let you know, my impression so far is that this is an awesome game! Also, thanks for the quick first game patch, you're doing an awesome job supporting this game.

Update: Thinking about it some more, and rechecking things in-game, I think the "OL_ARMY_MOVE" is correct and not what is wrong. I think its a matter of the "OL_UNIT_MOVING" text reference not being listed in the "interface.csv" file at all that is the problem.

This definitely needs to be verified by Paradox or at least someone more familiar with the layout of the Localization files.

The first part of a line in the text.csv tells the game which string this is, so it can then select the right string to display. The game is looking for OL_UNIT_MOVING but it isn't there. So either the string is marked wrong int he text.csv or the string is missing. Either way it should be a trival fix, so I'll log it with a programmer and well get it on the list of things to do for 1.2.
