 +===== Writing Style =====
 +A few tips on writing style blatantly copied from the Paradox wikis.
 +  - Write objectively, not in the first person.
 +    * //Correct:// Jotunheim has the option to focus on scales instead of a bless.
 +    * //Incorrect:// I always take scales on Jotunheim.
 +  - Use a third person narrative when possible.
 +    * //Correct:// Troubadours give the Marignon player access to enemy score graphs.
 +    * //Incorrect:// You can use troubadours to get access to enemy score graphs.
 +  - Use a semi-formal register.
 +    * //Correct:// It's recommended for ... to attack a neighbour early.
 +    * //Incorrect:// ... should obviously attack their neighbour at turn 8 at the latest.
 +  - Dominions allow for limitless possibilities.
 +    * //Correct:// Ashdod can be played in several different ways...
 +    * //Incorrect:// The best way to play Ashdod is to go awake Quickness Regeneration and tank all your scales...
 +  - Write in general, abstract terms.
 +    * //Correct:// Having access to stealthy sacred cavalry gives Vanheim a strategic flexibility...
 +    * //Incorrect:// Build exactly 4 Vans, use them to attack this province, etc...
