Game Guide--Races

[White Fang]

There's quite a number of errors in it: not only do the colors and the values not match (some bonuses are red and some drawbacks green), but some of the +/- are wrong (for example, Rat gets +40% to mercs, but it reads as -40%).

[taekwondokid42]

the -40 means -40 cost.

you wouldn't like it if rats were more expensive right?

[White Fang]

Yes, I know...but I contacted I friend who ran as a Rat, and he said merc prices were really high.

And I've seen personally that the merc field for Stoat is backwards (Stoats get 10% to mercs, but the game guide says -10%).

[taekwondokid42]

O, I see now.

[Peace Alliance]

Higher prices in mercs mean you can sell for higher too, so for indy's thats a bonus... but for anyone who rely's on buying mercs for their strat it's a bad thing. Not sure what colour i should make it then...

[taekwondokid42]

make it blue, so ppl know that it is a number other than 0, yet blue is neither positive nor negative.

Just be sure that its a light enough blue to stand out against the dark background.

[White Fang]

It's not the colors that are messed up...it's the +/-.

[taekwondokid42]

If it is a plus, it means that when you go to buy mercs, the price will be higher (+ price, not + meaning its a good thing)
Also, when you sell it, you can sell for more (+ price, and although it is a good thing, thats not why its a plus)

Same for the minus stuff.

[Peace Alliance]

the + and - depend on it's relation to the number 1. When i set the settings 1.000 is the norm for everything and if i raise something i make it something like 1.200 and if i lower it it becomes 0.800

[White Fang]

Right, I know all this.

What I'm saying is that the Game Guide says that Rat has -40% to mercs, when they actually have +40%...the same goes for Stoat, where it says -10%, but it's actually +10%. (In other words, Stoat and Rat have elevated merc prices, when the guide says they have decreased merc prices).

o

[Orcrist]

Perhaps make the definition of"mercs" be "price of mercenaries (buying and selling)" Then the green and be for - and the red for +, even though + can be a positive for some strats...
