Again another topic ... sorry In the single player scenario “The Green Plateau” the word “ancient” is nearly everywhere translated with “historisch”, but sometimes instead with “uralt”. Both seem wrong to me, but I don't know what to use as alternative. Some examples: and |

Changed Ressource(n) to Rohstoff(e) in glossary and every text. I like the search bar. Two is the oddest prime.
