Comments in campaign LUA scripts *possibly spoilers*

[Sikon]

Some are rather funny. Also, they show that Markal, Findan and Lorekeep were called Berein, Heam and Necorrum during development. It's interesting because Necorrum was Gauldoth Half-Dead's capital in H4. It also mentions Palaedra, Lysander's kingdom and successor to Erathia in H4.

Some comments are in Russian, translated into English.

[Continuity]

I wonder if the original plan was using the H4 world, before Ubisoft thought it would be much better to make a whole new world.

[Marzhin]

Very interesting indeed...

[Sikon]

I think they were just placeholders used during development, before Ubisoft came up with the final names.

[ThunderTitan]

'Nikolay' then --is the killed hero called Kolyan?

Wow, they actualy took out an I.

[Sikon]

Actually, it isn't a Raelag thing - "Kolya" is the dimunitive form of the Russian name Nikolai (Nicholas), and "Kolyan" is an extremely colloquial, somewhat vulgar form.

[Orfinn]

This is very interesting indeed

[ThunderTitan]

@Sikon
Kolya I heard of. Kolyan no. Oh well...
