In-Game Typos

While I strongly doubt that it was intentionally entered incorrectly by the devs, it is a search and replace job and it should get replaced whereever found. "sed" does wonders.

I do not use any type of database program since I'm on Gentoo and I'd have to not only compile all of these bloatware programs by themself, but all the depencies that they require, too, which I of course don't want to do. But if there is some DB that includes the units/spell/whatever descriptions then please point me to where I can find them and I'll extract the id's out of there, using another machine to open it, maybe.

Take a look at my sig. You need Open Office to read them, though.

You can also get unit ID numbers for specifc cases by selecting the unit for viewing and pressing shift-i. That will show you monster number as well as the weapon and armor numbers for the equipment it has.

Hi, hopefully this is the right thread for this stuff and it's still being looked at. Anyway, during pretender design I noticed a few that aren't on the list here or the bug shortlist...

- The Great Black Bull pretender specifically mentions Pangaea in its unit description... but it is also available for Sauromatia.

- The Mother of Monsters has a few typos:
"The mother of monsters is an ancient being that have given birth..." This refers to one entity, so that 'have' sould be changed to 'has'. Also "As a mother of serpent-kin she sacred to lamias..." A typo here - the 'is' is missing. Sould be "she is sacred to lamias"


(edit)
Just loaded up my Suromatia game...
The Oiorpata's description includes: "They young maidens...". This should be "The young maidens...".

(edit again)
The Witch King: "It is said that the blood of serpents flow in their veins". Should be "... the blood of serpents flows..."
Blood is uncountable so it's treated as a singular noun here.

Site: Villa of Everchanging Fresques
Should be "Villa of Everchanging Frescoes"


I think Fresques is French for Frescoes, so perhaps it's a French magic site.

I'd thought I'd seen this reported before, but I can't find it.

The EA Vanheim Huskarls have their descriptions switched.

1508 has spear and javelin, but the description says axe and javelin.
1509 has axe and javelin, but the description says spear and javelin.

Good catch.

Not exactly typo-class, but EA Helheim's (Nation #16) description mentions skinshifters.

Military: Heavy infantry, skinshifters, valkyries, vanir
Magic: Earth, Air, Blood

It should read:

Military: Heavy infantry, valkyries, vanir
Magic: Earth, Death, Air

Edit: I'm an idiot. Found the id # for Helheim in the mapedit manual.

Max,

For unit ID's follow Edi's link for "Units, Weapons Armor" at the top of his sig.

My pretender is the "Guardian of the Tablets of Destiny". This is supposed to be the "Tablets of Destinies".

A little more complex. Cast Strands of Arcane Power and get feebleminded from it. The message you get from this is quite wrong.
