As you obviously are either native English speaker or otherwise experienced with it, perhaps you could tell me some answers to some spelling issues. First that comes to mind is capitalization. For example, are creature names spelled with capital letters? –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] 09:17, 24 July 2014 (CEST) | |||
:I must say you caught me there, and I'm sure I haven't been using capitalization consistently either :-). The way I see it, a Black Dragon is still just a dragon that is black (not a Dragon that is Black), so I don't think there is a specific grammar rule at work here. But I admit it can look nice to write black dragon as Black Dragon, and I notice that the tutorial consistently mentions the names of creatures, spells, towns, hero classes, buildings, adventure map locations etc. with capital letters, so I am fine with doing that too (and more consistently than I am doing now).

I have tried to copy spellings and specially capitalization rules from the manual. Perhaps for the sake of consistensy we can try to hold that principle. --[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] 06:13, 29 July 2014 (CEST) | |||
