Davana should be Danava
Mandaha should be Mandeha

Although KO wasn't convinced that he should change them now that guides and manuals have been printed, you should probably make a note of it anyway. ;)

Re: In-Game Typos
 

Mandaha are Lankan units, right? Davana, too, maybe. Then they're too new to be in the game manual anyway, since Lanka was added in a patch. I'd doubt that they're in there.

the description of LA Atlantis hero "Once And Future Queen":

...Rudely awakened, she emerged from her milenial slumber, never to sleep again....

I am not sure if this is already corrected, just read the photo from the Chinese Wiki.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

Out-of-game typo: "Scenarios, Maps and Modifications for Domions 3: The Awakening" :D

(under the "Scenarios, Maps and Mods" subforum link)

Re: In-Game Typos
 

You know, I remember noticing that probably over a year ago, too, but didn't care.

It just goes to show that there is definitive, irrefutable proof that the Dom3 forums are the most unused forums on the internet.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

It's true, I've never used them.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

Still typoed :

she has slept for millenia...
she emerged from her millenial slumber

but after the Harraps, the correct spelling should be millennia (hence, I suppose, millennial ?)

Also :

Her sleep under tha crystal shard has prepared her...

Re: In-Game Typos
 

There are still a couple of minor ones in the nation's descriptions, too, but I'll wait for the next patch to see what's left.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

The spell "Faerie Court" summons a "Faery Queen". Singular/plural issues aside, I believe that these should be homogenized?

Re: In-Game Typos
 

Monster number: 1634

What is the name of that hero supposed to be? The name reads Sagtur, but the text talks about person named Sialuk.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

Typo in mapedit.pdf, table 1: The mask of border mountain should be 4194304, not 419304.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

Oi, that's bad! And my screwup to boot. Thanks for pointing it out! I'm updating the manuals tomorrow, so that came just in time. :)

The items "The Black Heart" and "The Heart of Life" should be named "Black Heart" and "Heart of Life" because they are not artifacts, maybe once they were.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

That isn't a typo! They're just saying mighty storms will of course blow an arrow.

Re: In-Game Typos

Tatsu (2099): "Its head resemble a camel" => "Its head resembles a camel"
Shrimp Soldier (2101): "out of harms way" => "out of harm's way"

Re: In-Game Typos
 

"occurrence" misspelled as "occurance" on random map create screen

Re: In-Game Typos
 

The "Riches from Below" dire portent has a typo. It says "Berlow" instead of below.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

In Patch 3.23, the unit Davana has been renamed to Danava. The old "Davana" is still used in the following descriptions, though:

• Rakshasi
• Manushya Rakshasi
• Raksharaja
• Rakshasa
• Rakshasa Warrior
• Summon Davanas

Re: In-Game Typos
 

I had a Crystal Priestess called Kemma #addname turn up in a SP game. I'm guessing this counts as a typo rather than a bug. In the squad setup screen, she shows as:

Kemma
#addname the Crystal Priestess (blessing)(blessing)(blessing) Spells

which is a bit odd.

Also: Leroy Jenkins as a random name? Good grief...

Re: In-Game Typos
 

Are you sure that's not from the map you are playing? Please look in the .map file. Unless you're playing on a random map, of course.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

There are no unit names in the map file - I've just checked. I recruited the priestess normally, by the way.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

The base game doesn't use mod commands to construct its name tables. It also doesn't have any "Leroy" or "Jenkins" in it. Look for mods that were enabled while you set up the game, they're the culprit.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

Fair enough - in that case, I take it all back.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

Ok, this one is really bugging me. Baen Sidhe, not 'bean'. For those of you not up on the intricacies of gaelic pronunciation, 'Bean Sidhe' ~= bawnshee, whereas the (presumed) intended banshee = Baen Sidhe. Just think about what the dipthong is doing (both vowels are treated as separate and short by english standards). Also, i guarantee if this is supposed to be 'banshee', the anglo-gaelic mythological creature, the correct gaelic spelling is most certainly "Baen Sidhe".

One might consider using "Banshee" for the LA Man one, however, since I see them as more english and thus the anglicized spelling would be appropriate. But that's a matter of interpretation.

Text quoted because he has the unit reference numbers (and i didn't even know about the LA Man summon).

Re: In-Game Typos
 

As much as I like your analysis of the gaelic language, and I'd like you to be right, I don't think that's true. It seems like it's really spelled correctly. Google for "Bean Sidhe site:.ie" for hints that support this.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

So, first of all, every time i've seen it spelled in the gaelic mode before now, its always been 'baen sidhe'. That said, i did some googling and some dictionary etymology checking.

Baen sidhe is more popular than bean sidhe, but its close (25000 vs. 16000 google hits) - the bean sidhe hits are higher quality though and include wikipedia (which actually favors bean si - apparently there's a more modern mode of rendering gaelic...).

Etymology supports Bean Sidhe. Even stranger, pronunciation guidelines (from the dictionaries) have banshee as 'bahn-shee' a reasonable fraction of the time, which is close to the 'bawn-shee' suggested by 'bean sidhe'. I don't think i've ever actually heard anyone say that, but its certainly what the gaelic looks like...

So apparently I'm confused, but it looks like 'baen sidhe' is a phonetic reconstruction back into gaelic from 'ban-shee' as it is commonly pronounced in english-speaking countries (certainly the US), and a popular one at that, which means I'm confused for a good reason.

I withdraw my objection, although it still looks weird to my apparently addled brain. Also, most people pronounce it wrong - who knew?

Re: In-Game Typos
 

Who knew that people wouldn't pronounce sidhe as 'she'? Heh.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

Isn't language fun? English more so than most, given how it has a habit of following other languages down dark alleys, knocking them over the head with a club and making off with loose bits of vocabulary and grammar...

At least I don't have to add this to the bug list, because that's what a name change would require.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

Re: In-Game Typos
 

Oh, I got the reference... Turns out it was a mod altering certain name possibilities.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

In the Black Serpent's description, it says "The black serpent is the serpent form of the lamia."

Since Lamia is the name of a unit, I think it should be capitalized.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

Lamia is the name of the monster, but when used within a sentence instead of at the beginning, it is not capitalized. Just like you don't capitalize animal names like bear, tiger, wolf, badger etc inside a sentence.

Only proper names and titles are capitalized, as well as military ranks when referring to a specific individual (e.g. Captain So-and-so).

Re: In-Game Typos
 

Think this is part of a mod, but I am not sure. It is the God Spider's description:

"It is known that God Spider is a great trickster, lier and storyteller"

"Lier" should be liar.

Boots of Youth Description:

These leather boots have been drenched in the blood of ten young vigins. The wearer of these boots will cease his natural aging and is magically reinvigorated during battle.

Re: In-Game Typos
 

I think it meant to say "the blood of ten young vegans". Well, a man can dream, no? :D
