Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

When a unit is mistformed in battle (due to the spell), the mistform icon's description says somewhere "ben" instead of "been".

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

Wish's Armageddon (I'm guessing that's what it was) has a typo, when it says "The entire earth trembled in the most powerful earthquake every seen." The word "every" should be the word "ever".

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

You overlooked "rid from". It should be "rid of".

I beg to differ. It's "snowfalls" that should be changed to "snowfall".

Nope. Ever heard of this island Kingdom called Britain, friend?

Oh, and my additions:
In English, nationalities etc. are ALWAYS capitalized ("Swede" instead of "swede", for example). Thus, nationalities, nations, etc. have to start with a capital letter even if in the middle of a sentence.

If the testers are Swedish, they know English. Trust me on that. Oh, and it's supposed to be "it's", not "its" in that context.

By the way, I can't believe people don't even capitalize letters in a thread on typoes and grammatical errors...

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

"Que" is supposed to be "queue".

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

New typo: Underwater magic site, Air 3, Imprizoned Zephyr should be Imprisoned Zephyr. Nasty for mapmakers if they want to place one and assume sites are spelled correctly.

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

Another typo: Hoburg Champion description text refers to being armed with a mace, when they are armed with a short sword.

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

Capital is misspelled (capitial) under the description of Immortal.

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

A season is often (always?) used to describe a turn, while a turn Lasts only one month. A season Lasts three turns in the game: Early Summer, Summer, Late Summer for example.

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

Turns was mostly thought of as seasons (three months) in dom1. In dom2 we changed it to months. Ther might be residual references to seasons in certain descriptions. If you find any you can post about it here. We havn't given it much thought, but as it can be confusing to neebies it is probably best if it is fixed.

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

I didn't recall that about Dom 1. Hmm... So, in Dom 2:

* In the Pretender descriptions, the Daughter of the Land is said to bring two water gems per season.
* Magic items: the Clam of Pearls is said to bring one astral pearl per season. The Blood Stone produces "a small amount of magic Earth gems each year"; the "small" part might be confusing, as it still produces one gem per turn, as the other similar items.
* Spells: Eternal Pyre is said to produce 20 fire gems each season, while it does so every turn.

These are the ones I can recall on top of my head; there may be a few other descriptions where seasons are used to describe turns.

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

Spell description says it summons Anthrax. Actual character, and his unit description, spell it Antrax.

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

Apparently the magic site "Sacred Glen" bLasts undead, but it doesn't say so in the description. I akashiced the province it had only "Sacred Glen" and "Grove of Evergreens" in it.

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

Under the definition of sacred troops, extremely is misspelled "extremly."

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

The sites that attack undead and/or demons do not advertise this fact. That list is as follows;
Holy fire (vs undead and demons, 10 an attack): Pool of Sanctity, The Ward, Sacred Glen
Holy power (vs undead only, 10 an attack): Gateward Valley, The Rainbow Shroud

There are also some other unadvertised little facts, like The Hall of Flayed Skins giving out curses to units...

However, there are several spelling errors in the various global enchantment announcements. I just don't remember offhand which ones they were.

Edi

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

In the description of the two Axes of Leadership, Picus is said to be a specialist in Blood magic, and Procas in Death magic. But it is Picus's Axe that requires Death magic, and Procas's Blood magic.

The Soul Contract is said to bring one Devil every season, while it is one every month (turn); I overlooked that one in my previous list.

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

I am so mean. The patch is barely out I am coming back to complain about typos. *Ducks for cover*

So, Capricons are said to "loose some of their powers when they leave the sea", while it should be lose (unless they actually unleash their powers on the land, instead of merely losing them temporarily). The same goes for the Sirens. Speaking of them, their description says that "The siren is gifted with... lure men into the sea with their songs", while it should be either "Sirens are" or "With her songs".

The Hippocampus does not have any description (when summoned by the Triton Kings). Lastly, the Mermidons are said to be unable to leave the sea because of their armour, but can do so; once on the land, they will nonetheless keep their armour.

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

Mermidons couldn't leave the sea in the original Version. This was deemed a weakness Oceania didn't really need, so they were upgraded from aquatic to amphibian, it's just the blurb text wasn't updated to reflect this change.

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

> I am so mean. The patch is barely out I am coming back to complain about typos. *Ducks for cover*

Mean? How would we get rid of all these typos unless you pointed them out. The lacking hippo descr means that there are some other uw critters in dom3 that lacks descriptions. Thanks!

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

The mean comment was simply referring to not waiting at least a day (after the patch is out) before complaining. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

A Last comment I am not sure about: is the plural form of Hippocampus supposed to be Hippocampii? (It is the spelling in the Triton King description) Similar words I can think of ending by -us have a plural form ending by -i, so that should be Hippocampi.

I am not sure of that though, since I have not been able to make sure Hippocampus follows the same pattern as stimulus, succubus and their little family.

Edit: I should have looked that word up earlier. Hippocampus has a plural form ending by -i, so Hippocampi.

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

A minor thing, but here it goes: when an aquatic unit ends its turn in a land province, the following message is given: "XXX the YYY drowned in [province]". The same is the same as for land units drowning in the sea, but does not make much sense when applied to an aquatic unit drowning on the land. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

The pretender titles have some typos in them. The word "Minister" is systematically misspelled "Minster".

Edi

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

The desription of the heroic trait "adept researcher" spells extraordinary incorrectly as "extrordinary."

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

There is a "Lychantropos' Amulet" in the game, while it should be a Lycanthropos' Amulet, if the noun is based on lycanthrope . If Lychantropos is actually a proper noun, an extra S might be included in the Amulet name, as in "Picus's Axe of Rulership".

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

Another cosmetic thing: one of the game hints states that "you may resume the construction of a fort if you are interrupted". I believe it requires some clarification: in my experience, you can only resume the construction of a fort if you have cancelled it, but haven't lost the province in the meantime.

Losing a province will effectively cancel all progress made on a fort (unless I am grossly mistaken here), while some players may expect to be able to continue building their fort at no extra cost. Or perhaps it is just my interpretation of "interruption" as in "lose the province temporarily due to enemy forces".

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

In the desccription of poor amphibian 'aft.' should be 'att.'

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

Under the description of Mistform, exceptionally is misspelled as "exeptionally."

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

The caption should say "...he finds most interesting."

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

The Mictlan short description says "...but their infantry uses archaic weapons." This is incorrect, infantry is plural and so this should in fact say "but their infantry use archaic eapons."

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

I disagree. Infantry is no more the plural of soldier then pool is the plural of water droplet. The infantry is a single thing, regardless of the many infantrymen in it. (Also, "eapon" should have a "w" ;-)

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

However, Google tells me "infantry use" is much more common than "infatry uses". I'm not sure what grammar says about it, though.

Re: Dominions II In-Game Typos
 

As Wick says - Infantry is singular, denoting a particular branch of a military. Infantrymen would be denoting multiple individual members of the infantry, while infantries would be for multiple branches, most particularly for different nations / armed forces : "The eight allied nations performed joint field exercises, but their infantries had incompatible comm gear."
