Please rename the Cassador to Caçador (with cedilla)

Age of Empires III: DE III - Discussion

I would like to ask the AOE3DE developers to please rename the Portuguese “Cassador” unit to “Caçador” in the English version of the game in a future patch.

The spelling “Cassador” (with a double ‘s’) was a workaround from back in 2005, when the English version of AOE3 did not yet support diacritics like the cedilla (at least not to the extent seen in the Definitive Edition). It was a better alternative to “Cacadore,” a term that was intended to be used but sounded like broken Portuguese for “Hunter soldier.”

However, now that English AOE3DE supports diacritics for unit names like “Jagunço” (using the cedilla), it is possible to replace the “ss” with “ç” in the name “Cassador.” Therefore, I’m doing this request to fix one of the oldest foreign ortography issues in the game.

Yep, this is a no-brainer. These kind of changes are so minimal on the effort side of things - it would be nice to see it sorted in the update/DLC release

Cangaçeiro (the Portuguese explorer skin) should be Cangaceiro (the cedilla is only used before A, O or U, because it gives the C an S sound and C already has that sound before E and I)

I’d also rename the Fune, as the current name literally just means ship. They’re seemingly modelled after Bezaisen class, so I’d rename them to Bezaisen.
