Skywalker Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) Hello, after reading the eighteenth diary of developers today, I noticed that in the game the city of "Kyiv" was recorded with the Russian transcription "Kiev". But the correct translation of the name of the Ukrainian capital is "Kyiv". As a citizen of Ukraine, I am not very pleased to see the incorrect spelling of the capital of my state. Dear developers, please correct this mistake! Edited June 6, 2021 by Skywalker 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Д2 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I fully support the words written above! I look forward to the release of the game and would not like to spoil the impression of it with such mistakes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodaMat Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I agree. Unfortunately, it's a big mistake. I'll be glad if you fix it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthope Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I gotta agree. Even typing "Kiev" into Microsoft maps pulls up "Kyiv". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they aren't going to play the game, their opinion really doesn't count. You have enough support here from real players. You don't need to "stuff the ballot box." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have enough support here from real players. You don't need to "stuff the ballot box." Some people first heard about the game and became interested in it, so it's not as bad as it seems. That's why I turned to gamers who will be potentially interested in a great game, where the capital of their country was written correctly. I am very much looking forward to it and interested in all the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 And I would like to thank everyone who responded to this thread. I am really very glad that so many people, including outside Ukraine, have drawn attention to the problem of spelling the name of the city "Kyiv". This is a great community that fits the game! I hope we all hear it in the end! P.S. Sorry for my not very good communication in English. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolay Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Everything is fine. Kiev in this game is a town in Kievan Rus, not in Ukraine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timerlane Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Very good point! To be honest, I did not think about this till I saw the thread. KoH has always been a game where diversity plays a central role. Might be a good idea to check for other similar situations - I am sure the dev team will take notice, plus we (the fans) can assist in this as well 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
