List of more mistakes for the **German** language that haven’t been fixed yet:

**Dawn Bird** (pet name)  
❌ Feuer **f** ögelchen (must be a typo, Fögelchen is not a German word)  
✅ Feuervögelchen  
The “cute” version of a Vogel (bird) is Vögelchen in German.

**The Devoted** (troop name)  
❌ Die Ergeben  
✅ Die Ergebene  
The **e** at the end is missing. The word without it does not make any sense.

**Urskayan Crown** (spell)  
English original: Create 9 Red Gems and summon a random **Urska troop**.  
❌ beschwöre eine zufällige Einheit **aus Urskaya**.  
(= summon a random troop **from Urskaya** )  
✅ beschwöre einen zufälligen Urska.  
(= summon a random Urska)

**King Mikhail** (spell)  
English original: Deal 9 more damage if I am Enraged.  
❌ wenn ich **gefesselt** bin. (= entangled)  
✅ wenn ich **wütend** bin. (= enraged)

**Dwarven Gate** (flavor text)  
English original: Speak friend and enter.  
❌ Sprich und tritt ein, mein Freund.  
✅ Sprich Freund und tritt ein.  
As the original is a Lord of the Rings quote, it should be the same in German and not just a translation.

**Dragon Turtle** (spell)  
Engl: Deal xxx damage to the first enemy, then Submerge myself.  
❌ Füge einem Feind xxx Schaden zu und lass mich untertauchen  
(= damage to an enemy, no mention of the first one!)  
✅ Füge dem ersten Feind xxx Schaden zu und lass mich untertauchen.”

**Stab von St. Astra - Staff of St. Astra** (spell)  
Engl: Cleanse all allies and give all Allies xxx Life.  
❌ Läutere alle Verbündeten und gib allen **anderen** Verbündeten xxx Leben.  
✅ Läutere alle Verbündeten und gib allen Verbündeten xxx Leben.  
The word **anderen** is to much.

**Humility** (spell)  
Engl: … boosted by Silenced enemies.  
❌: … verstärkt durch den gesamten Verstummten Feinden (just bad grammatical conjugation)  
✅ …verstärkt durch verstummte Feinde.

**Dryad** (spell)  
Engl: Nature’s Gift  
❌ Natürliches Gift (= nature’s poison)  
✅ Geschenk der Natur

**Draakulis** (spell)  
Engl: Vampiric Blade  
❌Vampierklinge (one e too much)  
✅ Vampirklinge

**Anubite Warrior** (spell)  
Engl: Summon a Fortress Gate.  
❌ Beschwöre eine Festungsmauer. (does not even exist in the game)  
✅ Beschöre ein **Festungstor**.

**Moloch** (legendary trait)  
Engl: Enemies lose 1 Skill point on 4 or 5 Gem matches.  
❌ Feinde verlieren 1 **Schädelpunkt** bei 4er oder 5er Kombinationen. (= skull point)  
✅ Feinde verlieren 1 Punkt einer Fähigkeit bei 4er oder 5er Kombinationen. (= skill point)

**Daemonic Pact** (trait in general)  
Engl: 25% chance to summon an Ancient Horror on death.  
❌ 25% Chance beim Tod einen Dämon zu beschwören. ( = random demon)  
✅ 25% Chance beim Tod einen Uralten Horror zu beschwören.

**Pyromania** (trait in general)  
Engl: Deal double Skull damage vs. Burning enemies.  
❌ Bewirke zusätzlichen Schädelschaden gegen brennende Feinde (= additional damage)  
✅ Verursache doppelten Schädelschaden gegen brennende Feinde.” (= double damge)

> For those who don’t know: I’m from Germany and do translation work for several things (mainly websites and university papers, but have also worked on some Flash games before).
