Are we happy with these tooltips?

Are we going to add a "cheat" word to Trading Outpost?

Never run out of important wares for long (cheat)

I'm a bit reluctant about the "cheat" keyword. Beginners might not want to pick the mode then - who likes being called a cheat?

How about: "If you run out of important wares, they will get replenished automatically"

Careful with this. the barbarians start with some 80 logs, and they can afford to have a wood hardener at the beginning, but the atlanteans only have 20 logs. making a sawmill too early with atlanteans will slow you down in the best case, and make you runout of logs in the worst.

Good point - let's give the Atlanteans more logs face-smile.png

Maybe this will be clearer explanation? :

"If you run out of important wares, they will be replenished for free"

I am not a native speaker, so I am asking face-wink.png

I would replace "you" with "player", because it should be obvious that also computer player will get these resources...

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. The current string reads:

"If this player runs out of important wares, they will be replenished for free"

I suggest to change it to "If this player runs low on important wares, they will be replenished for free"
