Manual Addenda updated (2.12)

[liga]

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

This is awesome!

Thanks for putting it together!

[Cainehill]

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

bye bye

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

[Slygar]

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

A new Version in the week end ... I have included most of the tips from Sunray Be websites "Some techical questions and some answers" (thank you Sunry Be!!).

I remember a post from Kristoffer O. about rounding that I'm nost able to find anymore ... I don't remember if says that all rounding are up or down ... someone could help me ?

good play
Liga

[Gateway103]

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)

[Arryn]

Per an email from Liga, my site is now also hosting the latest (.pdf) Version of his quite useful document.

Thank to Arryn's contribution now the downloadable Version has most of the spelling errors corrected!

good play!
