Campaign trouble with Twilight of Arnor

Campaign level Conflagration

from Stardock Forums

I'm playing through the TA campaign and have run into a problem.  I'm on the Conflagration level, where you're trying to get the final shard/crystal.  In the victory conditions it says to take a planet, Du'toth.  After a while of playing I go to the planet, but it was spelled Dut'oth instead.  I didn't receive credit for finishing the level when I captured the planet.  I haven't completely explored the map, but I have most of it (all in the area it says the planet should be in).  Is this a dummy planet or is this some kind of bug within the campaign?

 

-Thanks

I just finished this campaign. The only way to win this one is to make 3 Constructors and  2 Transporters. Buy each one per turn. Forget about everything else in the game. Just make these ships. Use the Constructors to increase your Influence next to your borders so you can take you ships to that Planet you need to conquer and win the game. You will run out of money but don’t worry about that. However there is one planet almost next door to the one your looking for that is almost spelled the same and that can fool you. It fooled me and I knew about it already, so before you send in your Transporters check the spelling real close or you might be playing the game over. It’s actually pretty easy once you have tried it. Just use those constructors to get you over there.

The Planet is near the opposite side of the map. Almost to the corner but not at the coner.

As Bill Mortley said in his post...there is another planet just another sector past the one you found which is the correct planet to take.  Call me weird, but I think placing a planet with the apostraphe just 1 letter off in the sector next door was a stroke of genius by the developers.

Thanks for letting me know it was beatable.  I found the planet.  It was in a tiny patch of "fog of war" - frustrating when that happens.  It does seem rather rediculous though to have another planet with that close of a name.
