Re: Manual Typos
The destealth calculations did not make sense to me. While I don't have the manual here with me at the moment, I seem to recall --
destealth ~ sum{unit destealth} - (unrest/2) + {pd-9)
example cites 10 Black Knights w/ destealth each 1.4 (commander not counted?) (total 14), unrest of 14 (which should be a penalty of 7, if it's unrest/2), pd of 21 or so.
It says that 'the BK destealth is reduced to 1'.
It has to mean that the total destealth of all 10 BKs is 1, because plugging in 10 (reduced to 1 per BK, instead of 1 total) yields a different final destealth. If the total BK destealth is reduced to 1, that's a penalty of 13, not 7.

IIRC the paralysis damage example also is inconsistent.
The manual states that if a unit already has a non-zero paralysis duration of P1, and gets hit with a P2 paralysis damage attack, the unit takes hp damage based on the lesser value (min(P1,P2)/2 IIRC), and gets a new paralysis duration of max(P1,P2). The example, however, switches them -- the lesser duration is kept, while the greater does the hp damage.
