The "Diadachoii in Macedon" list has been hit by the typo fairy - the Greek word for Successors is, depending on transcription and latinization preferences, Diadochi, Diadochoi, or Diadokhoi (the online frequency of the three variants being roughly 100:10:1).

The Solomonic Ethiopian list has two entries for "Elamaya bowmen", both as Archers and with the same date restriction, so they ought be combined into a single entry.

The Navarrese list has the general listed as:
If Present Knights
Otherwise Spear
Otherwise Light Foot
but during the period where Spear are available Knights are compulsory, so you can never have a Spear general.

The date restriction for bombards in the Wallachian or Moldavian list is weird: "1401 AD to 1517 AD only Moldavian after 1400; or Wallachian after 1455". The first bit seems superfluous.

How would you word it? The army list applies to Moldavians (who can have artillery from 1401) and to Wallachians (who only have it from 1456).Andreas Johansson wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2023 12:29 pmThe date restriction for bombards in the Wallachian or Moldavian list is weird: "1401 AD to 1517 AD only Moldavian after 1400; or Wallachian after 1455".

Simply "only Moldavians after 1400 or Wallachians after 1455" would seem to do it (unless there's technical restrictions I'm unaware of).David Kuijt wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2023 6:41 pmHow would you word it?

Re: Meshwesh minor errors and typos continued (from Oct 5, 2021)
The first date set (1401 AD to 1517 AD) is a separate column in the spreadsheet that serves as the basis for the army lists. The rest of it is text in another column. Not easy to make the change you mention (for technical reasons), and a change that modifies the data structure of the underlying data is fraught with peril -- might have impacts on other army lists which use that separate column and need it, unforeseen.Andreas Johansson wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:28 amSimply "only Moldavians after 1400 or Wallachians after 1455" would seem to do it (unless there's technical restrictions I'm unaware of).David Kuijt wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2023 6:41 pmHow would you word it?

So in this case, a bit of superfluous text isn't worth the price of de-superfluity.

OK, fair enough.
