Typos in numerical values in the Summary min-view for Civilization rank

from GalCiv4 Forums

v0.77

Defect:

  • Go to the Summary section of the min-menu in the upper right corner
  • The values for Civilization Rank are incorrect for some values, there are typos in numbers that count ranking for 11th and 12th (and assuming 13th based on the pattern but I did not see this to confirm). 
  • Assuming this has been coded to read the last digit of the number to apply the correct suffix and this will work most times, but it will not worth for 11, 12, or 13.
  • 11th is misspelled as 11st, 12th is misspelled as 12nd
  • Assuming 13 is misspelled as 13rd but I have not seen this to confirm
  • Oddly this does not happen to number rankings in the Data Bank Stats section so they must have separate logic.

It is much easier for the devs to look through 1 post with N points, than N posts with 1 point each.

 

I have enjoyed your insights (as a fan) and I'm sure the devs would too.  Just .. ya know, condense it so they have time to look at each point?

I gave up reporting this one 2 versions ago }:)    13th does show up as 13rd.  I agree, they hooked an algorithim to trailing digit, which works for every number except these three.

I appreciate the feedback, but I'm just reporting as I continue to play.  I can understand how maybe 1 post would be simpler to navigate, but it would be full of screenshots and save game links that were all unrelated.  

I already have a full time job and I play games for fun, and I don't mean any disrespect, but my approach will be to either post when it is convenient for me or not post at all.  If the feedback is not seen as useful then I'm happy to just play and enjoy myself.

Cheers

I had tried to do some searches early on to avoid double posting, but it was getting way too time intensive and I've posted probably around 25 to 30 individual bugs or enhancement requests.  It was getting to be way too time consuming to search the forums and try to see if someone had already posted a similar defect, and I was spending more time posting than playing.  So, I've decided to just post, and the devs can take it or leave it as they see fit.

Cheers
