Default Re: New Dom2 Quick Reference Sheet

I can give you all the information on the themes, but from what I can tell what exactly do you want?

I dont' quite get the national mages part, you want to put the highest possible of each type? Or the strongest mage/priest?

There are not really all that many units per race. Maybe you could just add the basic types and the special ones.

And maybe a little section with the name of what the Sacreds are.

I can compile a list together if you can use the information. I already have most of it from doing the Nation/Theme Strength/Weakness guide that is in progress.

Looks great! In the meantime, Fires of the Faith is exactly the same as Marignon default, so you can probably skip it=)

Oh, and sorry for the abbreviations... by summoning, I meant free summoning. So Mictlan's leaders can get free slaves warriors; they don't get any special demons as far as I know, though they might.

Anyway... hmm... the chart looks excellent, but it's also getting a little crowded. So if you can't fit everything, just dump some of the info=) A concise chart is as good as a thorough one! I'll try to make some icons for you to use and send them, like overlapped magic symbols. That would save SOME space.

Edit: I emailed you some slightly smaller, slightly cleaner magic symbols...

Thanks, Cherry! These'll look great and free up some much needed real estate.

Great, HJ. Good job, I'll fill those in today.

________________________________
Well, I've been thinking about this sheet all Last night, and I think that were starting to get unfocused as to the scope of my original idea; that being to make a newbie reference sheet to help people new to Dom2 get a grip on both pretender/race creation and on what to expect when meeting another race for the 1st time.

All this information that Saber Cherry and Zen have compliled is great, but I think I'm going to have to make a second more advanced reference sheet for us grognards.

So, here's my current plan.
On the newbie sheet, instead of the generic descriptions of 'H.Inf', 'M.Calv', 'Monsters', etc, I'd like to give newbies a better idea of what the units are, so, 'spearmen', 'war lobsters', 'centaur cataphracts' would allow newbies to be able to look at the sheet and say: "Oooh, satyrs, centaurs and minotaurs, oh my! I wanna play Pangaea!"
Whereas on the advanced sheet(s), we could have a more generic description of units, but also extra info like starting spells, sacred unit info, type of ranged weapons, leader qualities, etc.

So what do you think?
