I would be interested in doing such a project. ^_^ I don't know off hand of any previous projects of this nature though. (Check Sunray's Site... Nope!)

The information collection process is fairly straightforward. However, just what information do you want and how do you want them presented?

For example, the characteristic "Stealthy (+0)" is explained as "Stealthy troops can pass undetected through enemy territory" in-game. Is that all you want? Or do you also want some info on the +0 value? How PD of 10 or higher can reveal such units, etc?

Then there is the matter of presentation. Do you just want an Excel-style sheet, or a printer-friendly layout, etc.

I would be glad to help out, if you have decided the specifics and the goals you are trying to accomplish here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I was thinking something taht could be both an excell file and viewable by web (my idea was to put it on a MySQL dB in the beginning).

And I want both the information you can find on the game and also soemthing more (from manual, thread ...).

In your exaple, I also want to explain what stealth 10 means and the differents between 5 and 10 ...

so something like

skill
in_game_descripiton
experts_players_information

... now I have to go home ... see you tomorrow.

Well... Okay, gathering ability names and in-game descritions are the easier part then.

I used the UnitView map to look through every single units, and copied all the listed abilities and associated description on an Excel sheet just then. The abilites are listed below (omit the desription)

Some notes:
I realize Banefire and Fire Shield can also be spell effects, but some units have them intrinsically. What about Air/Astral Shields, or similar effects, they do listed as Abilities once casted in battle... But probably not, since that's more fitting for a Spell List.

Similar as the Gone Beserk attributes, probably easily to make a note of that for the Berserk ability entry...

Anyway, I am not 100% sure that I didn't miss an ability or two... going through 1095 units took quite a while, and it's possible I may have skipped a unit or two... So if you spot an omission, feel free. (There isn't Suscpetible to Lightning, or Susceptible to Poison is there?)

In alphabetical order:

Amphibian
Animal
Aquatic
Awe (+x)
Banefire Shield (x ap damage)
Berserker (+x)
Blood Vengeance (+x)
Castle Defense Bonus (x)
Causes Fear (+x)
Causes Lesser Fear (-x)
Chill
Cold Blooded
Cold Resistance (x)
Demon
Ethereal
Fire Resistance (x)
Fire Shield (x ap damage)
Flying
Forest Survival
Forge Bonus (x)
Glamour
Heat
Immortal
Inquisitor
Lifeless
Magic Being
Mindless
Mountain Survival
Need not Eat
Never Heals
Patrol Bonus (x)
Pillage Bonus (x)
Poison Resistance (x)
Poor Amphibian
Recuperation
Regenerates (x hp per turn)
Sacred
Sailing
Shock Resistance (x)
Siege Bonus (x)
Skin Shifter
Standard (+x)
Stealthy (+x)
Supply Bonus (x)
Susceptible to Cold (x)
Susceptible to Fire (x)
Swamp Survival
Trample
Undead
Wasteland Survival

If the list seems fine, then we can start gathering info for the second part.

There's also Spy and Assassin, neither of which has an icon. There's also Animal Awe, IIRC, and the Unholy equiv. of Sacred, and Swimming or whatever you want to call underwater flight.

Re: The races description and ability/skills reference chart is Online!
 

The independant Alchemist unit gets a 50% bonus to alchemy, but there's no icon for it. Ulm's smiths are immune to the drain scale.

Re: The races description and ability/skills reference chart is Online!
 

Some mages (Fortune Teller, Great Seer of the Deep) reduce the chance of negative random events in the province in which they are staying. No icon.

Doom Horrors cause bad events in the province where they are staying. No icon.

Lady of Fortune causes good events. No icon.

Some water mages can take more men under the waves than normal. Not sure if there is an icon.

Some units cause death and disease (Pazuzu, one of the Heliophagii). No icon.

Succubi seduce, and Belial corrupts (and causes unrest). No icon.

Re: The races description and ability/skills reference chart is Online!
 

Do we want to get into the special powers of the various Pretenders? Seems like half of them, maybe more than half of them, have some sort of "no icon" special power.

Re: The races description and ability/skills reference chart is Online!
 

Sorry but I was away form the net form yesterday ...

Looking into the code I got this 93 "ability" with description.

-> to developer: I'm not an hacker ... I'm just trying to get form the executable as much as information I can to fill my DB (just all the text in the code) ... I hope this will not hurt/damage your work. If it is a problem
I'll stop this project

-> to Gateway103 ... we can start the second part of the work now ... can you, anyway, send me at liga(AT)treemme.org your .xls file

-> to Taqwus, Vynd and Teraswaerto: I'll try to look in the code if I'm able to find this informations

Hi all,

night by night I'm improving my newbie-helping dom2 website:

http://arrakis.unimo.it/~ligabue/dom2/

Now you can acces from that URL both the list of the skill with the ingame description (and some, few at the oment, expert tips) and the ingame description of all the races.

I hope that could help newbie player to understand better the game

bye bye
