The ware "Thatch Reed" is used for other things than thatching, although that's its primary function for the Barbarians. I think the term is especially confusing for the Frisians, because it's not only used for sails but for fishing nets as well.

So, I am thinking of doing the following changes:

  1. Rename the ware "Thatch Reed" to "Reed"
  2. Rename the immovable "Reed" to "Reed Field"

Any objections?

But won´t this break savegame compatibility?

We have compatibility code that we can use for such cases.
