Posts from Text errors in the Russian version of Heroes V.

I don’t think there’s been a thread like this yet. In the Russian version of Heroes V, there were a lot of stylistic errors (and sometimes grammatical ones too). This is especially noticeable in the latest expansion. Here’s an example, the description of the special ability “Devil Strike”: “‘Devil Strike’ enhances the ‘Curse’ ability. There is a 40% chance that ‘Curse,’ cast by a demon lord, will deal double damage to the target.” It’s just a sloppy localization. After all, this ability now works differently, and the description seems to be from the original game and the first expansion. This wasn’t the case in the English version. My correction, because even the translators from GOG couldn’t redo this ability: “There is a 30% chance that a hero’s physical attack (including the demon lord’s ‘Curse’ and the barbarian’s ‘Reinforce’) will deal double damage to the target.”

On heroes.ag, there is a text mod that fixes these kinds of "rough edges" in the descriptions; however, it is for version 3.0.

But even in this mod, not all errors were fixed.
Another special ability is called "Banish":

"Special combat ability. Banish a portion of summoned creatures. The number of banished creatures depends on the hero's level."

That's how it worked in the original and "Hammers of Fate"; now it works differently and is significantly weakened. My fix:

"Special combat ability. Deals a small amount of damage to all enemy summoned creatures. The damage dealt depends on the hero's level."

However, not all errors were fixed in this mod either. My correction: “Special combat ability. Deals a small amount of damage to all enemy summoned creatures. The damage dealt depends on the hero's level.”

Perhaps it would be worth creating a new text mod to fix the errors in the previous one.
