Looking in the protoy file, I noticed that the shipment version of the Akan Ankobia uses the same dialogue for both mouse-over-unit and mouse-over-portrait descriptions. Notably, the trainable version correctly uses the different dialogue. Here’s the protoy file:

unit id=“2052” name=“deNatMercAkanMusketeer”>
…
rollovertextid>102538
shortrollovertextid>102538

The shortrollovertextid should be 102539

Other units that have the same problem:

Akan Tufohen - shortrolloverid should be 102546
Berber Camel Rider - shortrolloverid should be 102543
Somali Issa Warrior - shortrolloverid should be 102583
Sudanese Dervish - shortrolloverid should be 102587
Yoruba Eso Rider - shortrolloverid should be 102591

Berber Sultan, Somali Darood Militia, and Yoruba Oyo Legionary also use the same ID for rollover and shortrollover, but that might be by design. I would suggest they be given unique shortrolloverIDs, however.

Here’s some more:
Pirate’s shortrolloverid should be 69579 (Repentant pirate uses the right id, but not the regular pirate).

Found another one that I find irksome. The Zouave mercenary uses the same shortrolloverid as the Jaeger and Dahomey Amazon mercenaries, which implies light infantry… except the Zouave is not light infantry or “skirmisher mercenary” like the other two are. It’s actually an infantry unit that’s neither Light nor Heavy infantry. This unit needs to have its own shortrolloverid - or at least change it to “ranged infantry mercenary” or something. @tilanus
