New Tradition Grammar Fix

@Reianor The names 'Mercantile' and 'Unyielding' have simply been chosen as the result of lazy and thoughtless writing. If every tradition-group name was an adjective, then 'Mercantile' and 'Unyielding' would be fine as names, but this is not the case. Saying that 'names are names' is irrelevant here, and a bit of a cop-out solution.

The example that you gave goes to prove the incongruity of the names as they stand. There is a clear pattern that is being followed here, as opposed to a more abstract system of naming, and, as such, the most reasonable thing to do is to standardise word forms.

The reason this stopped making sense to you is the fact that you ate a word and forgot about it.

"We value prosperity tradition"
"We value mercantile tradition"

See? It's not just merely the same case, it's same freaking word in all of those cases.

Those are names, and names don't need to follow a single form, exactly because of the above reason - every name has an "eaten" word hiding in it's shadow it's that word that needs to follow form, not anything else in it's stead.

I'm also fairly certain you can override the locales by adding your own locale file in the localisation directory rather than overriding the whole tradition locale file. That way Paradox can do w/e they want to traditions and fix any potential tooltip grammar issues w/out breaking this entire mod or having this mod overwrite their changes.

@T145 Thanks for letting me know! I'll update as soon as I get the chance to.

Needs an update in 3.6 since Paradox revised the tradition locales.

@TheEventHorizon - Should be compatible, even though I haven't updated the mod-version-descriptor yet

@Jack Jack Attack - I did consider calling it that initially, but honestly, looking at how the tenets of the tree are described, I feel like 'commerce' is a slightly better fit lol

No worries, guys! Glad to be of help :)

3.2?

Could change to "Mercantilism" instead of "Commerce". Less of a change, and better describes what the tree actually does.

This'll be permanent in my mod load order.

You are removing thousands of hours of pedantic nerd-rage from the world.

Truly one of the best deeds I've seen.
