No one is navigating by streams. Rivers, sure, canals sure, but brooks and creeks and streams? they are inviisble from the air, that is my whole point.
A brook on the map that this game is based from that is never more then 10 feet wide on its highest flow day will still be 50 scale feet of shiny water visible from altitude, that is just not correct

Thats a interpretion of stream that isn't shared by many, i assume.
A stream is a very large river!
And brooks and creeks i haven't seen so far, only fair sized rivers.

Just to be clear, Oleg said 'At the moment there is no changes for the release date' - he didn't say it won't get delayed.

No it isn't. A stream is smaller than a river.

In German it's the other way around.

Stream also means Strom, and a Strom is larger than a river, in german.
Komm schließlich von da!
But in English a Strom is called major or large river, so its a multiculti misunderstanding

Yeah, we have the word "ström" in Swedish. This is getting a bit off topic though.

Geil, ich auch und sitze z.Z. 25km Südlich von Aschaffenburg in Bayern.

Anyway, I'm sure "stream", refers to small, winding bodies of water that usually intersect with a river, entity of water, etc.

Stream in the sense of "strom'"would pertain, for example, to the gulf stream which, IS much larger than a river.

hehe - sorry for going OT. Language can be fun.

cheers

What?

If a 'Strom' is called a major or large river in English
and in English a stream is smaller that a river...

how does Stream mean Strom?

I don't speak German, but on the evidence posted I suggest that 'Stream' in English does not mean 'Strom' in German.

Someone posted, in English, that a stream was bigger than a river. They got it wrong, never mind, let's move on.
