perfecting liga's manual addenda.post small flaws or unclear parts for discussion .

[Boron]

i hope liga has nothing against that
i think liga's manual addenda will be the best place for that . and in the appendix you can find all the advanced info then .
so with search function hopefully soon you will have 99% of the needed information for dom 2 in liga's manual addenda , zen's quick references and sunrays site .

Nice initiative Boron, and great job by the way Liga.

I have no other input to give at the moment other than:

The plural form of bonus is bonae
(well i think it is...)

in latin it is bonus so the correct latin plural is boni

And Alexander's Ever Expanding Tome of Knowledge!!

(My humble little self is working on addendi to that as well, plus an extensive Newbie Guide: "From Newbies To Newbies" (tm).)

i start with that :

6.2.7 Battle Afflictions

Remove afflictions with:

- Being a Pangaea national unit, or certain Pangaean-type pretenders. They heal afflictions over time.

- So do immortal units, and anyone riding a unicorn. No, you can't switch mounts, and at least in Dom I it was impossible to gain immortality.

this can be extremely shortened by simply saying :
all units with recuperation heal battle afflictions over time . so do all units with immortality .

[because recuperation is no pangenea specific ability as the current wording in the manual addenda suggests to newbies]

- Being healed by an Arcosephale priestess, or anybody with similar powers (there's a T'ien Ch'i national heroine with this power, if memory serves). Takes an action by the healer.

here you can be more specific and say only 1 of t'ien ch'i`s possible 3 heros can heal , namely
Ho Hsien-Ku .
afaik with heal command you have a chance to remove affliction(s) from all units in the same province as the healer each turn you give the heal order .


futhermore you could insert an advanced section mentioning the new 2.12 rules for tartarians .
iirc tartarians can no longer be healed by heal command ( fairy queens , arco priestesses etc. ) but only by GoH and the Chalice .
you could mention that both methods have a serious disadvantage :
-GoH is almost impossible to protect against dispelling in mid-late game in 8+ players games for ae/sg ermor , which is the most common tartarian user .
-In lategame i would wish for The Chalice as ryleh , pythium , arco , tien chi .
because it is an artifact it is unique . so 100 astral pearls + 1 mage turn are a worthy investion to prevent ermor completely from being able to heal tartarians . same with wishing for the alchemist's stone . this will severely decrease ermor's / ulms lategame income .

- Being in the same province with a friendly commander with the Chalice (artifact; requires construction 8, something like astral/nature as well).

here you can be more specific and write instead

the Chalice(artifact; requires construction 8 , something like astral/nature as well).

simply the correct requirements which is only little longer and way more informative .
my suggestion for replacing is :
the Chalice : misc unique artifact(construction 8), requires 3N2S to forge , so without forge boni 20 nature gems + 10 astral pearls .
