I was just double-checking. It's something that I might initially forget, anyway. ;)

The new texts sound good to me.

It's not a bug if you haven't seen it, but here's what the text says when you only have one opponent left it says: Your final opponent comes on bended knee....

yeah it the bended-knee reference was intended, but now I think it's a little verbose.

I've changed it to read:
"Your enemies respectfully surrender!"

And the singualar is
"Your enemy grudgingly surrenders!"

Actually I kind of like the "Your five remaining opponents" idea. Other variations then would be something like "Your single/sole remaining opponent comes etc." Perhaps even more variation depending on the remaining number of opponents.

Wed 21 Oct 2009 10:44:28 AM UTC, original submission:

"5 opponents come on bended knee and offer surrender!"

- It's not the most elegant style to start a sentence with a number unless you spell it out.
- Afaik it would have to be "bent knee," but according to dictionary.com "bended" is archaic and I suppose that's probably intended in context.

Possible solutions:
"Your remaining 5 opponents etc"
"Five opponents etc"

One final thing: what if there's only one opponent? Will it say "1 opponents come etc"?
