Manual Typos

Magic Boost items table p 282, the Blood Stone is incorrectly indicated +1B instead of +1E.
The item description is correct.

Turn resolution sequence:
"17. ... So if you forge a magic item with a special effect (like a Clam) you will gain the benefit of its effect on the same turn."

But they appear in your lab and have no effect until given to someone.

I'm not sure if this is a typo or if I'm doing something wrong..

p. 10 in the turtorial says "Left-click on Draam so he turns white, then hold down the [SHIFT] key and press [r]." to set Draam to be researching.

when I do that, it just opens up the recruit screen.

Dominion Scales

Page 39 and Page 51

There are several discrepancies between the two charts.

1.) Turmoil - 10% more random events or 5% more random events
2.) Growth/Death - Increases/Decreases supplies by 20% or 15%
3.) Magic/Drain - Gives mages +/- 1 research or +/- 1/2 research per scale

You probably have Caps Lock on?

That's how I can duplicate it.

I found some too!

p. 225 Battlefield spells key: "plus several more are probably advisable just for fatiigue reduction"

p. 78 "2,2,2,1,1,1,1,1,1,1" should have an additional 1,1 at the end, as the damage only adds up to 13. The rest of the description in that paragraph is correct.,

I'm sure there are more. Sorry for the typos, guys. Hopefully the manual is a positive thing on the whole. I guess I underestimated the task of self-proofing a 300-page manual. I did my best to comb through the manual for corrections (and even caught a bunch just before printing, but I take responsibility for the errors which remain.

Now I know how IW feels when they make a patch.

Bruce,

I think you did an incredible job. I've seen more typos in a hardback published novel. As Mindi said, if there are enough to warrant a new setup of the printers' files, we'll address these in the second printing.

No, it is a bug. Same thing happens to me too (Windows version, if that matters), no matter wether Caps lock is on or not. Also some other places where Shift does not work as intended (like I posted in the bug thread).

National spells other than battle magic, summons, or holy appear to be missing. Intentional?

- Caps lock is not on.

For what it's worth:
- Win XP - Service Pack 2
- Laptop Computer
- AMD 64
- Like Jarkko said - several of the [SHIFT]+ operations are behaving incorrectly for me.

Nothing really special about the system - no weird setups or background programs running. But let me know if there's any more info I can provide to help.
