My Armies KML file won't load in Google Earth. Cities and Home Bases are working fine. What's wrong?

I'm using: Google Earth 5.0.11733.9347

This is an old problem appearing from time to time, the army kml breaks down for everyone then. So far admins could not find out what causes this.

yeah mines not working either, good day to attack can see army movement;charge

yep seen it earlier and still like it, it was like it at 11 pm here and it now 2.42 am here

No we found out the cause. Some fool named their army with a special character that is not supported in the KML format (or they forgot the semi-colon at the end). If it's not fixed soon I'll have to rename every army.

ah I see, I didn't know that.

EDIT now working again, at least for me.

I know who did it... though I'm not really sure why this actually broke, a 0x86 should function as a Unicode BOM only at the file's beginning, not somewhere in the middle. Whatever, another validatore told me the same, so it might be true.

But wouldn't it be better to escape army names, just in case? Or maybe even force names to be ASCII-printable?

Just change the preg to only allow letters and numbers...Not that hard. I'm sure a coder can handle it (if we can find one)
