agreed that neither CORTéS nor CORTéZ look good, so let's not go there. my question is more related to cortez instead of cortes, as cortes appears to be the almost universal spelling, whether with e or é. since the famous cortes was a real person and the equally real, though less well known, orellana has his correct name, cortez is noticeably inconsistent.SoN!c wrote: Thu Apr 09, 2026 6:40 pmBecause CORTéS or CORTéZ always has that funny look why the "e" is not in grand capital....

"the gold cob & rum bonus will be clearer if the gold cob and rum are placed beside each other visually"' : great advise![]()

I don't see it - i must be blind was my first reaction, but its not the gold & rum bonus but the bonus legend where the koppesnellers are - got that too now![]()
in the win condition legend, access is missing an s.
Got it (again) (Yikes - how did i miss that!)
the large inca and orellana names are sloping, while the other three are level. i'm thinking that the level names look much better, so perhaps make them all level or, like holy roman empire, all curved?
Good point

Then with gold cobs in the jungle it would be this (1.21):Swimmerdude99 wrote: Sun Apr 19, 2026 12:59 pm Big fan of the change there. I think visually that helps create separation. That's beneficial.
As for the rum bottles and coin change in in the gold continent and the forest, I do think that takes away a unique aspect of gameplay. As you no longer reward it to go into the jungle and leave your starting area. While thematically I can see why this makes sense, it does take away that as an option to play into the jungle instead of your starting area.
