Item description error: Ale Barrel

[DrAtomic1]

Item: Ale Barrel
Type: Artifact (Level 2)
Race: Dwarves

The desription says:
A big belly beer keg.
+1 Morale to all dwarves in the army

Sniper set
-3 Attack, +20% probability of Critical Hit by from arrows
- Ale Barrel
- Telescopic Sight

The issue: it's either by arrows (in which case it grants a 20% bonus to the probability of critical hitting with arrows) or it is from arrows (in which case it grants a penalty where you have a 20% larger chance of getting a critical hit from arrows incoming to you).

Side question: is the bonus/penalty for all projectiles (ie cannons and alchemists as well) or just arrows as stated in the description?

Grants a bonus to crits. Not all "ranged" units get the bonus though.

I forgot specifically which ones get it, but for the most part, humanoid archers get it.

e.g. hunters, elves, bowmen, goblins.. not sure on catapult.

Only to units that shoot arrows and not to catapults, thorns and the like (not sure about goblin's; they use axes).

The attack penalty is for the hero (-3 attack to all your units)

Thx for the answer guys!

The Sniper Set affects:
Skeleton Archer, Archer, Cannoner, Goblin with the Catapult, Elf, Pathfinder, Goblin.

Pathfinder = Hunter.

The description is a little misleading as it clearly affects more than just "archers." It probably means a subset of projectile users, as indeed the goblin uses axes.

Now those little bastards are gonna be even stronger? Seriously the devs wanted to make a mega-goblin or something that they have made they way too strong?

I think some naming bugs like these can be fixed manually if you changed the extension of the (campaign).kfs or loc_ses.kfs files (whichever has the description error) to .zip extension, then extract and edit them in Notepad/Wordpad. Move them back into the .zip after saving. Don't have to hex edit...

Might be helpful to correct typos, grammer, etc. that you find confusing.
