    Icon5 Castle Town in Britannia campaign

    I looked at the name of the Norwegian Capital in Britannia campaign, "Castle Town", and decided to check this out in Wikipedia. According to Wiki, the "Kingdom of Mann and the Isles", which is Norway in Britannia, had Castletown as its capital, and there has never been any town in the known world named Castle Town.

    Should I consider this a typo? And if yes, should I mention it to CA?:hmmm:

    Thanks for any answers.

    It's a game my friend it's not the only city among with other things that ain't historicly accurate.

    BTW Wikipedia ain't always the best source as anyone can edit it's contents

    Yes, indeed. It's just a game. But why bother calling the capital Castle Town when it's actually "easier" to write Castletown (and get the name historically correct too)?

    And yes, Wiki shouldn't be trusted. I should've mentioned that I googled Castletown and received the town's official website, http://www.castletown.org.im/

    More you will play the game and Google names and make some research you will see that there is more than meets the Eye when it comes to accuracy

    Its not even the accuracy: Castle Town just doesnt sound logically (thinking of i.e. Charlestown)

    Couldn't agree more...

    - Welcome to Castle Town.
    - Is this a town, AND a castle?
    - No, it's not, it's a town named Castle.
    - Perhaps it's a castle named Town. Didn't you think that might be possible?

    lol nice man +Rep and welcome to the forums.

    But yea i find it as a bad name. But i can so easily see that as a town because there are alot of city/towns like that.
    like the city of Venice,and the country Venice.
    same thing as Milan.

    then think of Iran or Iraq.

    i ran? like you ran wear, to Iran? lol

    or sounds like an apple product Iran a shoe form apple? Iraq and rack made from apple?lol
    (tucken from mad t.v episode)

    or even like Prince Rupert Canada

    dose the prince live their? NO!

    well yea their are many different things but i think you guys get the point of weird names.

    Because "Castletown" would avoid that problem altogether?

    Why wouldn't you name your nation after your capital city?

    Anyway, I couldn't help thinking about Hyrule Castle Town in Zelda games when I read this...

    Exaclty!, rome did that didnt they? that worked for them, But why not ignore the typo? its only one city, if it were a whole faction than changing the name would be worth it....

    Wait, what's the problem? That it's named "Castle Town" instead of "Castletown"? Just edit the "imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names" file if you want to permanently change the name of the settlement or region.

    And sorry, Wiki is just about as accurate as any other encyclopedia--sure anyone can edit files to be wrong, but anyone can edit them to be RIGHT too.

    And there are bots that patrol the files, undoing all vandalism.
