Maybe one of the devs could move the whole thread there so we can keep it all together in the same place?

This topic seems to have veered into the range of "suggestions and enhancements" rather than "technical support." I suggest posting in that area.

When I'm putting together a Trade Order, if I've typed too big a number for one of the types of goods I'm sending, once I try to send the consignment, I get a pop-up that says "Unable to complete request" and "You do not have this quantity of goods to send from this location."
When the order consists of a dozen different kinds of things, each with different quantities, this is an unhelpful message: the code that decided to send it surely does know for which type(s) of goods I've typed too big a number, so it could actually tell me that, rather than leaving me to read through the list checking every single one. Better yet, the form could (as I'm typing it) put a red box round any number I type that's more than I have of the relevant resource, just as it makes the number of vans needed go red when it's more than I have.

In the text-box that pops up when I click on an image of a cotter in a mail (it probably shows up in other places, too), there's quite a nice discussion of what they can do and the perils attendant on them; but it neglects to mention that they can (with the right research) gather military equipment from a battlefield. I guess that text didn't get updated when you added that feature.

In the Research Discoveries (Eye) page, when a category has no discovery yet, it says so: except that, in the last, it gets the name wrong, reusing the previous one's text verbatim:
Sovereignty
You have made no Sovereignty technology discoveries
Crafting
You have made no Sovereignty technology discoveries |
I suspect a cut-and-paste should have been followed by an edit ...

Maybe they meant the best footsoldiers come from wooded areas?

A fine malapropism in a battle report, on Small Forest terrain:
| Bowmen hate it - and even cavalry units have difficulty moving purposefully to attack forested terrain. This is, however, the natural provenance of the footsoldier who excels. |
Now go look up "provenance" in a dictionary. It's where something comes from. I suspect you meant "province", although it's not quite the word I'd have chosen !

Spotted in a report: "Green Anacondas" but "Yellow Anacodas" (missing 'n').
