In the code-tags i've the story of my game. It's in English already, but not good-english. My English isn't very well, so... If any of you have the time please 'translate' it to good English. If you do it, you are in credits, of course. Thank you very much!!

I think I've a problem with the code tag. Here is it again:

It’s the year 2094, the European Union is no more. There have been many wars in Europe. One war is still going on: the Language War. The Language War is a war that began in the year 2031. In 2031 there was something called ‘The Benelux’. The Benelux were the countries Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. In 2031 there were two languages in the Benelux. In the Netherlands people spoke Dutch. In Luxembourg the people spoke French and in Belgium the people spoke both languages. There were many little fights because of the different languages in the Benelux, but in 2033 the people in the Benelux decided to fight together against France. This had a reason. In 2032 France did like to get bigger. So they attacked Belgium. So it’s normal that Belgium attacked back. But why did Luxembourg and the Netherlands help. Luxembourg was just scared, because they were afraid that France would also attack them. The Netherlands did help because they didn’t want to have France as a neighbour. That’s the reason why in 2033 there started a new European war, the Language War, between France and Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Four years ago, in 2090, France was only half as big as before the war. Belgium has moved south and got a piece of France. The Netherlands aren’t a neighbour of France, so they got a piece of Belgium. And Luxembourg got a piece of France too. But one year ago, something strange has happened. Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands didn’t want to fight with each other. They are now enemies. The four countries Belgium, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands are now the same size. The Netherlands want Belgium, because there are people who speak Dutch. Belgium wants all countries because they already speak Dutch and French. Luxembourg wants Belgium and France, because there are people who speak French. And France wants the whole Benelux, because they’ve got a piece of France now. One of the four countries will survive and be the winner. And this was only the begin of the Language War…

to get bigger = to expand

So it’s normal that -> this is rather speaking language

attacked back = countered

The Netherlands did help = the Netherlands helped (I think this tense is better)

France was only half as big as before the war. Belgium has moved south and got a piece of France. The Netherlands aren’t a neighbour of France, so they got a piece of Belgium -> if you are speaking in the past, you have to use the past tense in every sentence

They are now enemies = they are enemies now


there might be some mestakes in your language which I didn't noticed because I'm Dutch languaged (and you too I guess), and then it isn't easy to find mestakes because the way these sentences are built are like in Dutch.

Thank you freak. Yes I am Dutch languaged. I have English on school, but I'm not very good. I think you're right that there are still some mistakes. So if there is an english person, could you help me if there are more mistakes.
