Yeah, got a few of those wrong. In adding the page numbers I honestly couldn't figure out how the manual was organized. Not even alphabetical within Schools.

blood slaves(gems) cost 150 & not 127

The values for everything else came from the excel spreadsheet on Sunray's site, and I did notice some discrepancies. Maybe it was originally based on Dominions I and they changed the values. At any rate, if you see any more discrepancies let me know. You may want to let Sunray know as well.

other than tha, the thing I always wanted about spells is to know which one works underwater (when you're fighting an underwater nation, it's sometime difficult to know)
so if you could add that to your search engine, that would be great

I added a field called "special" that I would put all of the info like that, "Armor Piercing", and other non-consistent effects. I didn't fill out the column though, but it is there. To be honest, the chances of me going through the manual and filling it out are quite slim. If it wasn't for Sunray's spreadsheet, the spell page wouldn't be there. If anyone wants to do it, however, I would add it to the database. So if anyone is interested, the easiest way would be to add the effects to the spreadsheet on Sunray's site and I would reimport the data. Or I could add a page that allows you to edit values directly on the site. Let me know which people think would be easier.

just a question : if you don't specify anything shouldn't you obtain the list of all spells ?
|
It used to work that way, but I got tired of waiting everytime I loaded the default page with it loading up all the spells (I think it would be murder for those on dialup) so I disabled it.
You can get the same effect by choosing the following:
"Level greater than or equal to 0"
with all other values at the default.
Instant list of all spells in the database! I'll probably put up a link to do it, but that will work as well.
