    Please rename "Tomes of Soldiery"

    As far as I can tell, nobody has broached this subject here. Please, while there is still time (is there still time?), change this to Tomes of Polemology.

    Got this idea from reddit.

    Soldiery is fine. No need to nitpick

    Ugh, first of all Soldiery is just, blegh. Its a pretty...ok? Translation, but its a silly word in context.

    Even just calling them Tomes of War would suffice but actually Polemology would be very appropriate.

    Final edit: Even Tomes of Chronology as that reddit post suggested would sound less goofy. Since the translation from the Japanese is the study of war, or the history of war.

    I heard Tomes of Theology being thrown around before. You know, since we're throwing up ideas for possible names that most likely won't be implemented and stuff..

    I think players are just being nitpicky because they can....

    first glamours bother the player base, and now Solidery?


    Why dont we just call everything BOB from now on...?

    While I'm not a fan of "Soldiery", OP lost his argument with "reddit".

    While I don't necessarily disagree, I do have to say that these forums aren't a two headed dragon trying to bite their own knob off. Individuals will disagree on various things, not all of the same things. I personally find Glamours to be a sufficient translation that coincided with previous translations all the way back to 1.0

    But I also think Soldiery is stupid.

    "Polemology" follows the stylistics of the other tomes better, I think.
