Defense vs. Defence

This page had discussion content instead of game content (see below). The discussion was about the appropriateness of different spellings: "Defence" and "Defense". The page creator (who wrote the first line, below) preferred the British English spelling of "Defence"; the responder (who wrote the other two lines) preferred "Defense."

In my view, these opinions are irrelevant in resolving this issue: what's important for wiki page content is accuracy in reflecting the game content. Heroes uses standard American English spellings, including in this case "Defense." (Note: Neither spelling is incorrect; the "correct" spelling simply depends on the context: in this case, an American game publication.)

I've updated the page to redirect to the (already developed) Defense page.

>Page content before the update<

Defence is the British English spelling of the word.

In Heroes III it is always spelled as "Defense".

comparison of txt files from H3 Complete and Heroes Cronicles: Chapter 8 - The Sword of Frost (obviously european edition):

US	UK
defense	defence
rumor	rumour
instill	instil
channeled	channelled
neighboring	neighbouring
sulfur	sulphur
honor	honour
demeanor	demeanour
favorable	favourable
dilligence	diligence
offense	offence
armorer	armourer
color	colour
behavior	behaviour
travelers	travellers

since we have the proof of the existence of british localization for HC, we can admit the existence of such localizations for the previous H3 versions either. so 'In Heroes III it is always spelled as "Defense"' doesnt sound so convincing. i do not consider this a reason for changing our spelling policy though. --GroundhogYear (talk) 00:18, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
