Alright, I've started work on a language mod. So far I plan to target three areas:

1) Tooltips for creatures
2) Tooltips for Items
3) Tooltips for class skills

If you could help me out by listing any tooltips that are bad, in these three areas for now, it would help a lot. Some tips I'd like to actually research to see what the effects actually are before I finalize it.

Note that I have no plans to include any game changes in this, just an update to the language so it is easier to play.

Alright, made a first pass on a few units skills, here's a little preview.

Amazing.

I'll try to look through some tonight when I get the chance.

Sweet. I'm sure you know I have a small tooltip section on the bug thread. And reading it now, you'll find a few more description updates under Awards and also under Items. Maybe just do a find on description in case there are others. :p

Feel free to make up something colorful for the pre-order items. E.g., "An advance prayer to the gods has revealed this stunning piece of armor, which materialized out of thin air right into your lap." And ohhh - it would be great if you figured out how to add actual descriptions to the combat rune tooltips. Right now they just say their name and omit the part you really care about i.e. what the heck they do.

I'll be happy to link from there to the mod you make, too.

Edit: What did you come up with for the maiden's Call of Valhalla? I think I understand how it works, but it's hard to explain succintly. Right now if a unit dies and the maiden waits or does something else, you miss the rez if the unit goes again before the maidens do. So it can't go twice in a row after it takes the losses if you want to rez it. Maybe it should say "Restores a maximum of X forces of the targeted troop if they receive the Call of Valhalla before they act again."

Just a small start, based pretty much on the units that I had on hand. Tried to be both more concise and more descriptive where possible.

Version 0.0.1
Updated Paladin Prayer skill
Updated Paladin Second Wind
Updated Rune Mage Destruction Skill
Updated Rune Mage Phantom Skill (Includes phantom duration)
Updated Rune Mage Runic Word Skill
Updated Cursed Ghost's Scream Skill
Updated Necromancer's Raise Undead Skill
Updated the Necromancer's Plague Skill
Updated Royal Thorn's Germination Skill

I'd have done more but I discovered something truly ridiculous ... but that's for another thread.

Great work! I find the translation rather puzzling, as the dialogue is usually alright (not perfect English, but perfectly comprehensible), but the ability descriptions are sometimes gibberish or simply misleading/wrong. Maybe a team translated only the dialogues and used some translation program for the abilities?

Great work indeed. Keep it up and big thnx !

Super, I'll make a note of this in the bug thread. Also - a very egregious tooltip/description is the Acolyte of Odin skill. It's trying to say you get credit for landing a killing blow with a spell. I'm not a soothsayer so I forget the exact wording, I just remember a friend in the other room laughing at it. :)

Thanks! Need help?
 

First of all - thanks! :)

Second, I did the language mod for King's Bounty - The Legend so you can look at this type of posting system for errors:

I don't have a lot of time, but if you need help fixing anything just let me know. Also, I'm still not very far in the game so would like to finish the areas that you need help fixing before they get spoiled for me. One thing when I did the TL update is that you get to see all the conversation choices and realize that you missed a few things here and there.

Also, I've planned on doing AP / CW so let me know if you'd like to help with those games...

I noticed in testing, that Bowmens Ice arrow now deals percent damage like other freezing effects, making it substantially stronger than it used to be.

From now on, I'll be placing the mod in the Original Post, so check there for 0.0.2 version.
