FIRST, A QUESTION: For random events, which I am doing next, does anyone know why so many of them start with "into the throne room comes a band of adventurers" when half the time you're on the other side of the map from your capital? Are these supposed to depend on you being at home, or were they at some point? If they don't depend on you being home I'm going to redo the "into the throne room" bit.

            <Desc>All of the wildings you have seen have been warriors of one type or another. But here you find their children and elderly living in simple but well made huts.

<Name>Abandoned Caravan</Name>

<Description>Here lie the wreckage of several wagons... splintered wood lies scattered across the ground. A few canvas bags can be seen as well... and there are, of course, several corpses.</Description>

'Lie' should be 'lies' or 'wreckage' should be 'wrecks' - pick one correction but not both - since 'lie' assumes a plural subject but 'wreckage' is singular.

Consider replacing 'atrous' by a synonym. I was unable to find 'atrous' listed in the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, although the Wikipedia dictionary lists 'atrous' as meaning 'jet-black in color'.

It's possible that the game assumes that your faction's leader uses a tent or a room in a nearby building as a throne room when he or she is in the field. An example of this in the real world would have been the tendency of the Ottoman Empire to bring palatial tents (or pavilions, if you prefer) with their armies for the use of the high ranking officers and nobles who accompanied the army, with the tent any given member of the army had being an indication of the status or rank of that individual. The largest of these tents were equivalent in scale to buildings, and had carpeted floors. If your sovereign were to take such a tent with them while in the field, then I would certainly say that granting an audience in one of these would be equivalent to receiving the person or people in a throne room.

It's also possible that the game assumes that your faction treats any area in which your sovereign sets up a residence of any kind (be it a military camp or a great city) will have a 'throne room' from which your sovereign dispenses his or her commands.

In the real world, sovereigns would often have an area of the camp or in a nearby location (such as a house, or some building in a nearby town) in which they would set up a temporary throne room to use for official functions and meetings, though they would not usually do this to quite the extent that the Ottoman Empire did.

I only mention it because it jars me in the game when I have just this dude and his random friend and suddenly there's a throne room. I don't want to be heavy handed when I change things, but this annoys me to no end. I'd like to see what other people think about it.

Thanks, I missed a lot of commas. Blah.

Atrous means jet black. And yes, I did have to google it. (EDIT nevermind, I see you saw that. Still, I'm going to leave it for now

(EDIT 2 - All done!)

Many of these descriptions are repeated and will need to be changed several times.

<Desc>These crags, the spines of the earth, are home to ancient creatures. The air echoes with their voices and the land resonates with the power of massive scaled claws on stone. Dragon will return to this place, as they have for centuries; if you build a camp here, you may be able to recruit them to your cause.</Desc>

Comma added after “here.”

<Desc>A tribe of Ogres lives here. They are smaller than the ones you met in the wild, so you assume they are female. Ogre young stare at you with large, black eyes. All have suffered at the hands of the brutal male Ogres and don't offer any resistance. If you build a camp here, you may be able to recruit them to your cause.</Desc>

Comma added after “here.”

<Desc>A darkling tribe lives here. With their warriors defeated, they cower before you. If you build a camp here, you may be able to recruit darklings to your cause.</Desc>

Comma added after “here.”

<Description>This area is quiet and draped in shadow. No birds shriek, no rabbits scurry through the underbrush. Despite the quiet, you can't help but feel like you are being watched.</Description>

Comma added after “quiet.”

<Desc>All of the wildings you have seen have been warriors of one type or another. But here you find their children and elderly living in simple but well-made huts. They offer no resistance to you and seek only to continue to live in their small village. If you build a camp here, you may be able to recruit them to your cause.</Desc>

<Description>This atrous tower draws in all light and appears black even against the starless night sky. It is like a bottomless pit that pulls you toward its dark walls, and you can’t help but feel a tremor of unnatural fear as you draw close.</Description>

Comma added after “walls.”

Also, double-check the capitalization of wilding/Wilding and darkling/Darkling. Sometimes, they seem to be capitalized; other times, not.
