SpikeOnUr6 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I was checking for a translation the following string, belonging to the end of month report screen: Alien victory at %1% lost funding regions! But I realized I don't quite understand it... In the example I had, it gave 4, where actually there were 6 regions lowering their funds (and no regions lost). What is this string meant to show?

Max_Caine Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 It's a trick of english, it means %1% regions lost (that fund you). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeOnUr6 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 This still doesn't match with my example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 .... The number of regions that you can loose before you loose the game varies depending on the diffculty setting. That --> %1% changes to show you exactly how many regions you can loose - as in loose funding completely and permanently loose the region depending on the diffculty setting. If you want to see it in action, start up a game and do nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeOnUr6 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Clear now, thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabill Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'll be honest, it took me a few attempts to work out what that meant. I wonder whether it couldn't be rephrased to make it a little clearer. ("After X countries are lost, the Xenonauts project will be terminated" or something like that?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 There doesn't seem to be a lot of room to work with. Something along the lines of Aliens win if %1% funding regions leave could be squashed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ventuswings Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) How about Forced shutdown if %1% funding regions lost for better immersion? Edit: ditch the 'funding' part if not enough space. Edited May 16, 2014 by ventuswings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
