Default Re: Manual Typos

The Magic Path Boosting Chart on page 282 lists Staff of Elemental Mastery as only requiring 3F3W / 3A3E, while it is 4F4W / 4A4E respectively. The description on page 269 is correct.

Eye of * does not list that the wearer gets the affliction "lost an eye", same for the Hearts (Black Heart, Heart of Life) which give the Chest Wound afflictions. I strongly believe that the manual should point these out, because most of the overwhelmingly good effects that they have (Eye of Aiming / Heart of Life) is used to neutralize the afflictions that they cause.

This isn't precisely a manual typo, but it is a Illwinter documentation error. I think it belongs here.

On the hotkey description download available on this site, the description for the hotkey "END" is "zoom x 1/2 scale". It should be something like "goto currently selected province". I can't remember if the "END" hotkey zooms or not, but it's not really important anyway.

Jade Mask is listed as a Conj-6 path booster on pg. 283, but it is correctly listed as a unique on pg. 276.

Default Re: Manual Typos

Pg. 101 of manual, LA Agartha has weakness: "No units with strategic move of 2." Not correct. Cave Captains, Light Infantry, Sappers, Scouts, Attendant of the Dead, and all crossbowmen have mapmove 2.

Default Re: Manual Typos

Page 186, Page 195, Page 200: The Siddhas have mapmove 10, not 2.

Page 282: Staffs of Elemental Mastery is listed as taking 2x3 magic, but it's 2x4.
Blood Stone is listed as giving +1 Blood magic, it gives +1 Earth.

Default Re: Manual Typos

This isn't so much a typo, it's more a case of some clarification needed.

On page 69 under Break Siege it says, "Units which retreat are eliminated instead of being able to return to the fortress." What it doesn't say is that units breaking siege can retreat into a neighboring friendly province and thereby survive the failed break siege attempt.

On the game options -> set victory conditions screen, cumulative victory points says: "Victory points are accumulated each summer. This unsually results in games with a more predictable length." Should be "usually."

Default Re: Manual Typos

Simple typos, may have been noted already.

Page 137
Paragraph 4 - no end parenthesis in first sentence.
Paragraph 5 - Line sixteen
Should read - "Right after that, you're going to get slaughtered..."
