Re: In-Game Typos
For the mercenary "Mighty Pak-ur":
"Pak-ur doesn't command any men but is quite huge himself. and has 2 month remaining on current contract"
Should be:
"Pak-ur doesn't command any men but is quite huge himself. He has X month(s) remaining on his current contract."
Screenshot attached.

Re: In-Game Typos
On a side note... I believe shrapnelgames.com should start a poll asking if gamers would purchase an updated manual. They could send an email to those who purchased the game as well with a link to the poll... then they could decide if a second manual would be worth the profit.
Lots of information could be corrected and updated from the current manual.

Re: In-Game Typos
Umm, yeah, turns out I forgot to put it down here :S
In the Immortality trait description it says "capitial" instead of "capital"
(Made a search the last time I wrote it down and it found nothing, so I'm guessing this is unknown so far.)

Re: In-Game Typos
I think the spelling of the "Lychantropos' Amulet" should actually be "Lycanthropos' Amulet".
It appears to be incorrect both in-game and in the manual.

Re: In-Game Typos
There's a random event with some spelling and grammar mistakes:
"People here are very unruly and have destroyed valuable equipment that is neccessary for us. Repairs costed 200 gold."
I'd suggest:
"People here are very unruly and have destroyed valuable and essential equipment. Repairs cost 200 gold."

Re: In-Game Typos
I135 The Aegis
The description reads:
"This is a round shield of hardened leather with tufts of goat hair surrounding its edge. Upon the leather surface, the unknown maker painted an extremely vivid image of the Medusa. The image is so vivid that anyone who meets the mad gaze of the painted eyes will be instantly petrified. Anyone fighting the Aegis-bearer will thus have trouble watching and predicting the Aegis-bearer's moves as he tries to avoid the leering face of the Medusa."
1."the Medusa"
This should be changed to "Medusa". Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa were the names of the Gorgon sisters. Saying "the Medusa" is akin to saying "the David".
2."Anyone fighting the Aegis-bearer will thus have trouble watching and predicting the Aegis-bearer's moves as he tries to avoid the leering face of the Medusa."
This isn't really a typo and I don't know what Illwinters stance on feminine and masculine pronouns is so this may or may not be an issue. Technically, if you don't know the sex of the person it is standard English to use "he," "him," or "his." However, the gender issue could be avoided if the sentence was rewritten as "Anyone fighting the Aegis-bearer will thus have trouble watching and predicting the Aegis-bearer's moves as they try to avoid the leering face of the Medusa.". Of course, if "he" is being used everywhere in cases when the sex isn't known there is no point in changing it as it is still standard English.
3."... the unknown maker painted an extremely vivid image of the Medusa."
Again not really a typo but I would have thought the one who forged the item would be the maker and thus the maker is not unknown.
-----
The first point is the only one I think needs to be fixed the other two are just observations.
So at the very least the description should read:
"This is a round shield of hardened leather with tufts of goat hair surrounding its edge. Upon the leather surface, the unknown maker painted an extremely vivid image of Medusa. The image is so vivid that anyone who meets the mad gaze of the painted eyes will be instantly petrified. Anyone fighting the Aegis-bearer will thus have trouble watching and predicting the Aegis-bearer's moves as he tries to avoid the leering face of Medusa."

Re: In-Game Typos
Noted on the Aegis. I'll see about it. The heat scale errors are known and shortlisted and will be fixed for the next patch, since the Hinnom/Ashdod/Gath nations need to be proofread anyway.
