May 31st, 2004, 03:03 PM
Hi all
I have rewrote my "Tips for newbies" in a more readable way.
http://arrakis.unimo.it/~ligabue/dom2/docs/manual_addenda.rtf
Now I have ordered all the tips with chapter and paragraph numbers like the one in the original dom2 manual (I have also added new chapter/paragraph)
I have called that project (that I'm trying to keep updated with the tips I catch from this forum) "Manual Addenda" ...
I have tryied to include the ref to the original author of the tips and to change as less as possible the original words.
I hope it could be usefull to the community.
Anyone that want to help me to keep that project alive and growing is welcome.
good play

Nice.
One correction you'll want to make - 6.2.5.2 Fire Damage says :
Fire resistance blocks any poison ...
Presumably that should say fire instead of poison, and have an appropriately modified list of spells.

I have splitted in two sections but it was the same post

A total new Version of the manual addenda is now avaible
I have put inside the name of all the chapter/paragraph of the orignal manual for an easier use
I have also included quite all the information found on Zen FAQ thread (at least all the infromations I was able to collocate in some chapter/section)
good luck to all

let me know if you have problems

PS. I'm also adding a nations/themes specific tips appendix ... but i'm not sure it will be something usefull or I'll really keep update

hey, this is pretty handy.
Suggestion: A list of what units are added/removed and other basic effects would be really cool, in the themes section.

...
I have not enough time to go through the game to ... I'm used to get informations from this forum (or other sources) .. if someone could make the work I'll really be happy to include in the manual_addenda

IIRC, all rounding are in player's favor. E.g. gem cost of item with construction bonus are rounded down (such as 25% discount on 5-gem item gives result of 3)
