yep - I can imagine that it is more about time than anythin else,
Most of the PDF is +1 INITIATIVE, +3 Attack...
So if anyone knowing azbuka would voulanteere for this job, we would surely love it (I deciphered many words, as I know the game little bit, but still it is pain in ass to de-azbugate it in my little head)

There is not only formulas (game mechanics are big chapter but only one in all manual). There is mathematical terms too (not difficult ones, but still). But that will be not largest problem. I just don't know how units, spells, rage spirits and their abilities are named in english version. Same about NPC's quests etc. I am playing russian version

Yep - most of the formulas have already english expressions
and numbers are luckily in arabic (so all that cool tables are quite readable already... so I guessed that nemoznaja is impossible [what an elfish smart ass I am... sadly that I look like orcish ass ]

and yep - the text around is what I could wait , but I would suggest just to run a script "Replace with" ... HINT:
Replace "Iniciativa" [written in russian] with "Initiative"...
run such scripts for key words like attack, defence, experience etc and the manual would be readable by 80%...

"Nice" idea

Then where is problem? Convert manual to txt or html and use google translation (or some other)

There is result for part i already posted in other forum thread:

upon receipt of the Spirit, a list of all the improvements of all abilities, which to date fulfilled all the requirements to obtain. Since then randomly (for all improvements are equal probability) from the list of selected 2 improvement and offered a choice player.

There is an exception - if Spirit reaches the level of minimum required to obtain a new skill, that ability will be invited to force instead of a "random" option. If a player refuses to receive this skill in the future it will not be forced to propose, but will be recorded in the general list a par with the other improvements.

P.S. And know in Slovakia many words are similar to russian ones

Geesh, I was hoping that the obvious option of "do it yourself if you are so smart" will go unnoticed
and yep - I can speak/understand 80% of russian language, just don't remember azbuka at all (shame on me)
aaah - did anyone mention that the PDF is locked by password ?

Thanx, but if you refered to "KB_manual_1.6.4.zip" 1-Oct-2008 04:00 (gosh, someone was up all the night heh?) than this one is locked with password as well... (or could it be that my adobe transfered something like cookies from the locked one? I can't imagine this happening but well, who knows..)
