Actually, trunc is explained just under the formula where it is used...

Ups, didn't look there. Just at the Elemental Chains formula.

Thanks so much for the fabulous work! Awesome!



Probably a stupid question, but please can you explain what the last icon to the right of initiative on the creature page represents?

Actually, and this may already be in there (I haven't had time to pore over the manual yet - still printing :-) ) - two things that I would find to be handy references:

1. How much is a horde, a swarm, etc.

2. What schools of magic are associated with each race.



Like I said, I may be blind, so if "It's in there!" I apologize :-)



Thanks again!

You must be asking about the experience value. It shows how much experience you gain from killing this creatures.

I am just curious...what is the order that the artifacts appear in? I think it would be useful to sort them on type(minor, major, relic), and price...so to have the least importants first...and the big ones...last.

It would make a lot of sense...wouldn't it?

...and one (?) or more things...

It's "nasty" that the creatures pages split between 2 troops (non-upgraded - upgraded) of the same level.

...and...

It would be REALLY nice to have pictures with the "full" body of creatures...

Incredible job! However, I think it's a real shame that the publisher didn't do this in the first place.

if it's freakish to want to know how damage and other numbers are calculated, then a lot of us are freaks :)

It would be nice if you include the 'skill wheel' so everything is in one place.Also what schools of magic are associated with each race and the numbers of the creatures (few several pack lots horde throng swarm zounds legion...)

Besides that:great work(!!)
