Default Re: idea about newbie guide . plz share your opinions

i want to focus on some things which are still undocumented .
unfortunately sunrays really excellent site is down and i have only downloaded so far the downloadable things and not copied the .html guides so far so perhaps much is already answered there .

i will try to give a brief and good understandable overview with some examples ( like in the dominion guide how dominion works ) about combat .
e.g. the fire spells do 14 + 2 per level above damage .
area of 1 = ....
than ´what i miss so far :
a formula how many maenads you get depending on the turmoil scale ...
stealth detection
pan cw reanimation / freespawn rates and so on

about half of the questions are now almost answered because i posted them in previous threads and got good answers

i will try to include a small sc / anti sc guide too that ppl get an impression whats important .
it took me e.g. almost 2 months until finding out how cool a sc pretender really is .
first weeks in sp i used rainbow pretenders .
tried once a combat pretender but had not much knowledge of combat spells .
i once used a vq then because i read at the forum how good she is but i only gave her some more death + blood lol and was unimpressed ^^.

because sp is so different from mp and a mp game takes about at least 2 months if nobody tells you in your first mp game you will most likely take a totally crap pretender than after 2 months be wiped out .
then you try your first sc pretender but because sp is not so good for testing it ( only for indy conquering ) your first build is still not so good and so i think most likely you find your first good sc pretender only in your 3rd mp game after 6 month .

so i will try to declare why some key concepts are so important .
like in the beginning i thought : woah ulm has 20 / 23 protection units they rock .
then i built them and they sucked against in my newbish eyes much weaker units .
now i understand because of their inferior attack/def Ratings + high encumberance .

and so on hehe .

hopefully i cover much .
i will include the formulas for blood hunt etc too in a legend .

so i want to make a faq , some charts / legends for formulas and so on
and a small guide on some topics
