Hi Boron,

that's a really good Idea ... and very close to what I was aiming to creating my Manual Addenda (just covering all the things are not well covered in the rules) .. I think it could be good/usefull for you to start a new project but I think it could be better to join our projects making a really good newbie guide.

I suggest you to read the Manual Addenda (it has most of the answer from this forum) and then look if something usefull for you could be there.

I have kept out details on the single spells (since Zen is writing a reference about that) and most of the things concerning strategies (SC and so on).

I think to have included all the formulas I was able to find on the net.

I have kept the oringal post in the guide, but it could eb nice to use the informations in the Posts to write more readable chapter.

I have also not included the Ceremony guide on dominions on my Manula Addenda becouse I think it is a little jewel and there is no need to integrate.

Anywya, let me know any kind of help/collaboration you need!

good luck
Liga

thnx liga

your manual addendum is great
so are zens miqr and scqr .

i have heard of zens plans . but he announced them already 2 months ago when i got dominions and joined the forum .
i have seen very little postings from zen on the board since about 1 month .
sure his guides will be great
perhaps you can share insight and say me when zen thinks he publishes his new spell guide and other things he plans

if this is in the next 2 weeks than my plan is most likely obsolete . but i guess it takes far longer so my idea was to provide a quick interim solution for the e.g. next 2 months until zens new puplications show up

furthermore if you have a beta and want feedback i would read it and then ask you questions .
i am at the moment still kind of newbie but on the advance to better understanding and hopefully an in future quite competetive player on the mosehansen games
so i could ihmo well evaluate if it is suited for newbies and with my starting insight ask advanced questions too .

He told on the forum that was close to be finished ... waiting just a sort of "suprvisor" approval ... anyway I think you have really a lot of things to work on not yet covered by any docs on the net (stealth, sc guide, ...).
Let me know how I could help you in realizing this guide ...

bye bye

two small questions to your manual addendum :

number one :
7.2. expierience :

All units, except mindless ones, get:

1 exp per turn
+1 exp for participating in a battle
+3 exp for winning a battle
+1 exp for hitting enemy

is that really for hitting ? i miss xp for killing something if that is true .

number two :

according to the expierience chart you get -1 encumberance as a bonus for reaching xp lvl 4 .

a moloch e.g. has base encumberance 1 .
does that mean that he gets + 1 reinvigoration or does base encumberance drop to 0 and he can't fatigue in melee like vq / pod etc. ?

Yes. A unit can get quite a lot of experience in just one battle, if it does a lot of fighting (scoring hits).

chapter 8.4.4. blood hunt :

you should add that SDR counts +1 blood level for blood hunting purposes since 2.12 .

You can't blood hunt in sea provinces, I think.

afaik it is now a fact that you can't blood hunt in sea provinces . so the i think is no longer needed
