Appendix

[ivra]

I have verified your travel route and it is indeed correct and quicker than my suggestion (108 vs 132 hours). That's the cool thing about presenting an optimal solution; it it so easy to prove it wrong. Just present a better solution, just as you have done

The downside with your route is that it is also much more challenging. The reason for this is that you need to defeat Shenobi on Elon (and prior to that Chief Uchkuk to free the king and get the Shenobi quest) + you have to defeat Rakush at Uzala before going to Tekron and Umkas. Not having the XP you get by completing Tekron and Umkas make these fights much tougher. These two islands are both difficulty 75, while Tekron and Umkas are 65.

Another worry I have with both our travelling routes (the are equal in this respect) is the single trip to Bolo in the start of the game. If you play on impossible some of the fights are really hard to do without huge losses. At this time only Debir and Scarlet Wind is completed. I am a little worried that some of these battles are actually impossible...

I have found an inaccuracy in the listing of some of the items that spawn new units. The number of creatures you get is random. This is what I have found out so far:

Carved Coffin - Each coffin gives 1 to 3 Vampires
Coffin - Each coffin gives 4 or 5 Skeleton Archers
Dragonfly Eggs - Each egg gives 2 to 5 Fire Dragonflies
Snake Eggs - Each egg gives 2 or 3 Snakes
Spider's Egg - Each egg gives 2 or 3 Cave Spiders
Thorn Sprouts - Each thorn sprout gives 5 to 8 Thorn-Hunters

Only one random number is created per use of the items, no matter how many items you specify. So if you specify to use 100 Dragonfly Eggs, for instance, you will get 200, 300, 400, or 500 Fire Dragonflies.

i just printed the PDF's its amazing. ready doc for me thanx a ton for great work.

i have question.
i was looking at the Units2 PDF. and there are so many paramaters like
Attack , Defense , Resistance , Crit , Damage , Heath , HP.

does any one know the formula how they affect when 2 units fight. assuming both are standing in front of each other. No magic. No Shield etc. No retaliation affect.
lets say
DevilFish 600 vs Polar Bear 20. so if devilfish attacks how much damage will polar bear get. or vice versa.


Also what is the difference in Health and HP ?

hi rollems! Take a look at this thread:
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...t=10991&page=2
Post #17 covers the attack/defense formula. You should also read post #1 which contains a lot of info of the game.

Health and HP (Hit Points) are the same.

irva, any plans to do an appendix including the gift bag items? I'm sure translation is a problem if you're trying to go off the Russian set but were you to involve the community just by asking us to fill in the holes for what you don't have already, I'm sure we could all get it knocked out pretty quick. Just a thought.....

[ivra]

No, I don't plan to include them. The reason is that the file "KBa_ny_manual_eng_1.0.0.doc" that is included in the gift bag installation already has a thorough description of all the items and sets. I do not see any need to copy that info into the appendix.

Where do you find the file "KBa_ny_manual_eng_1.0.0.doc". I installed the bonus pack but that specific file is nowhere to be seen.

Strange. I was sure I got it with the gift bag file I downloaded. Appereantly not. I guess I have downloaded from another place in this forum. To make it easy to find I uploaded the file here as well:
