I've come across this reference (cow came down with a pig) a couple of times in the game and have no idea what it is supposed to mean. I think it is something that has been lost in translation - does anyone have any idea? Thanks.

Yes, that makes sense especially as later on there is another reference which says "This morning at the farmstead of Jan Gray the cow came down with a pig in front of six witnesses!"

Thanks.

Yes. There are numerous typos and strange turns-of-phrase. The translation is over-all good, but was not done by someone who REALLY understands English. I should try the German. I am extremely fluent in it. I'm just glad that the Russians, unlike the Americans, see fit to translate their games into English. Russia is also a large market for games, and the Americans slit their own throats by allowing politics to influence their business decisions.

I assumed the phrase meant they had lain together, but ERISS' suggestion seems more sensible. Or, since it reads "a cow came down with a pig" perhaps it was meant the other way 'round.
