English proofreading to do - rulebook layout

Here is the topic for rulebook layout

Here are a few edits I've found on pages 2 & 3:

Page 2 Aurlok nation photo Drums should be Drum (he only has one):
Auroch Rain-Dancer with War Drum

Page 3:

Change "Presentation of nation" to "Nations of Mornea"
Change "Presentation" to "Introduction"
Change "What you'll need to play Bitz" to "What you need to play Bitz"

Under Dice system/symbols it should be:
"Limiting used and kept dice, dice bonuses and penalties, characteristic dice rolls"

Under Fight
The text needs a space between "fighting,special cases" and pluralize case to cases

Here are some nit-picky notes:

page 5
the hyphenation of "pyrithin" bothers me for some reason.

page 8
The dropcap A in "Alkemy" is running into the start of the third line of the paragraph.

second line: "corresponding to the alchemist's level of concen-" add an apostrophe between "t" & "s" in alchemists

page 12
"It is compulsory to recruit 1 hero. Heroes" add a space between "hero." and "Heroes"
In the Dice System section:
The dropcap "T" is running into the next letter of the first line.

page 15
third line: "from a point on its base to" replace "from" with "on"
Under The Scenery
fourth line: "The scenery elements are" add an "s" to "element"
"- Open country:" change "area" to "country" to match the photo caption

page 16
Change second photo caption to "Cluttered Land"
Change fourth photo caption to "Special Land"
Last line: "are on opposite sides." change "both" to "opposite"

page 17

Thanks, all corrections are done

Mallachain a écrit:page 19
Second line "In this case, the card has several lifelines" add "in this case," before "The card"
Eleventh line "(walk, load, fire, etc.)" change "walking" to "walk"

I changed "load" to "charge" and "fire" to "shoot".

See below corrections of Bethan and Brett that they send me by email

Bethan and Brett a écrit:I've been going through with Brett, and outside of Mallachains corrections, we've just picked up on a few parts that seem a little unclear.


Page 19 - Reactivation section

"He cannot run if the figure has previously run or before charging" - this sentence does not make clear who is or can be charging, could it be made a little clearer exactly what the rule is here?

I compared with french version. The sentence in bold must say that the figure don't make new movements if it made a run or charge.
I purpose that : It cannot make new movement if it has a run or charge attack before.
Right ?

Bethan and Brett a écrit:
"Only figures with 3 or 4 AP may therefore activate". This is confusing as it seems that you should only need one or 2 AP (one to activate and one more to spend) - is this sentence correct or does this rule need further clarification or the word therefore to be removed?

This sentence seems correct (Only figures with 3 or 4 AP may therefore reactivate).
When you want to reactivate a figure that you have already used, you must spend 1 AP to reactivate figure, and after, you can use AP.
Example:
You activated Garlan and you make it a walk (1 AP)
You put Garlan on watch. It still has 3 AP.
You choose to reactivate Garlan. You spend 1 AP to reactivate. Garlan still has 2 action points. You can make a run (2 AP), a walk (1 AP) and a charge attack (1 AP) after.

Bethan and Brett a écrit:
Page 20 - last sentence could read "A miniature that runs cannot contact or initiate a fight against an enemy model" for simplicity and clarity.

OK

Bethan and Brett a écrit:
Page 22 - Third line from bottom - use "figure" not "figurine", as have done elsewhere throughout.

OK
I've changed this word in
page 22 (Charge multiple opponents, second bullet point) twice
page 25 (section falling)

Bethan and Brett a écrit:
Page 26 - Fourth bullet point. Should this read " A model without the Long Reach skill and IN melee with an opposing ...... " removing extra words for clarity and the is/in change.

OK.

Bethan and Brett a écrit:
Page 30 - second sentence - remove "from its opponent" as it lengthens and complicates the reading of the sentence.

OK

Bethan and Brett a écrit:Page :37 Final sentence - The player chooses a profile card and deploys any (should this be ALL?) miniatures that are ....

Yes, all.

Bethan and Brett a écrit:Throughout - Perhaps use "does not" rather than "doesn't".

OK, I changed it.

I have lot of questions

Page 19  - Reactivation section

"He cannot run if the figure has previously run or before charging" -  this sentence does not make clear who is or can be charging, could it be made a little clearer exactly what the rule is here?

I compared with french version. The sentence in bold must say that the figure don't make new movements if it made a run or charge.
I purpose that : It cannot make new movement if it has a run or charge attack before.
Right ?

How about "The figure can make no new movement if it has previously run or charge."

Bethan and Brett a écrit:
"Only figures with 3 or 4 AP may therefore activate". This is confusing as it seems that you should only need one or 2 AP (one to activate and one more to spend) - is this sentence correct or does this rule need further clarification or the word therefore to be removed?

This sentence seems correct (Only figures with 3 or 4 AP may therefore reactivate).
When you want to reactivate a figure that you have already used, you must spend 1 AP to reactivate figure, and after, you can use AP.

You choose to reactivate Garlan. You spend 1 AP to reactivate. Garlan still has 2 action points. You can make a run (2 AP), a walk (1 AP) and a charge attack (1 AP) after.

I see what they mean. Maybe if we move the "therefore" it would make more sense: "Therefore, only figures with 3 or 4 AP may activate."

I agree with all their other changes.

In this case, they are interchangeable. Either works because there is no difference between shooting or ranged attack. Sometimes it reads better to say "ranged attack" and sometimes it works better to say "shooting."

In this sentence, "standard" means "an idea or thing used as a measure." So I would leave it.

Agreed to use both.

Bethan and Brett a écrit:These elements interfere with movement and sight lines, providing cover etc….

OK

Mallanchain a écrit:Let's use this "If the winner chooses for his opponent to go first, the opponent cannot refuse and must play a card.

Bethan and Brett a écrit:The opponent accent refuse and pass their turn.

It seems to me that sentence of Mallanchain is more specific.

Page 20 - run section

text a écrit:Running prohibits any further movement (it is possible to perform other movement before running to the limit of AP available).

In french version, we say that a model can make one or several walk movement before running.
In english version, we say "other movement" but we could to think that a model can make a charge before running while this is not possible...

I purpose
Running prohibits any further movement (it is possible to perform one or several walk before running to the limit of AP available).
Right?


Page 22 - Charge multiple opponents section

text a écrit:The attacker designates all models they wish to charge and chooses one of the figures as the initial target.

He instead they ?



General remarks when I read translation.
We use sometimes "miniatures", "model" and "figure". Can we use three terms?

Page 24 - initiate combat section

text a écrit:Once started, a fight continues as long as one of the involved miniatures remains in contact or in Long Reach of the other.

I wonder if translation is correct... Long reach is skill.
In french, we say "distance cheat" to explain two models are in fight but not in contact, and one own long reach skill.
Anyway, in caption from picture, we say "melee with long reach".
Could we say
"Once started, a fight continues as long as one of the involved miniatures remains in contact or melee with Long Reach."
or
"Once started, a fight continues as long as one of the involved miniatures remains in contact or distance cheat."


Page 24 - Fighting section

text a écrit:Fights always resolve one against one, even if multiple miniatures are in contact or within Long Reach of an opposing miniature. If a model is in combat against more opposing miniatures, it is free to choose which it fights. A model can not shoot when in combat. Once in combat, no movement is permitted without first making a disengagement. There is no fighting between two miniatures when the two are no longer in contact or within Long Reach of each other.

Same remark. Could you use "distance cheat" instead "long reach" ?

Battle ?

text a écrit:- If a model has not charged, but it is “on watch,” playing the “Inactive” CC will cost 1 AP less.

I purpose
- If a model has not charged, but it is “on watch,” playing a CC will cost 1 AP unless you play "inactive" CC.

text a écrit:- A model without the Long Reach skill and in melee with an opposing miniature can only choose the “Parry” or “Inactive” CC.

Do you use melee or distance cheat ?

text a écrit:If it chooses “Parry,” it cannot perform an attack if its result is 3 points greater than that of its opponent.

Add CC after Parry ? "If it chooses "Parry" CC, it cannot..."

text a écrit:They compare the cards to identify potential modifiers and special rules that apply to the battle underway.

Battle?

"Once started, a fight continues as long as one of the involved miniatures remains in contact or melee with Long Reach."
or
"Once started, a fight continues as long as one of the involved miniatures remains in contact or distance cheat."

I like this one better: "Once started, a fight continues as long as one of the involved miniatures remains in contact or melee with Long Reach."

nicoleblond a écrit:Page 24 - Fighting section

text a écrit:Fights always resolve one against one, even if multiple miniatures are in contact or within Long Reach of an opposing miniature. If a model is in combat against more opposing miniatures, it is free to choose which it fights. A model can not shoot when in combat. Once in combat, no movement is permitted without first making a disengagement. There is no fighting between two miniatures when the two are no longer in contact or within Long Reach of each other.

Same remark. Could you use "distance cheat" instead "long reach" ?

Yes

nicoleblond a écrit:Page 26 - combat cards section

text a écrit:This choice is made only for the current battle.

Battle ?

Whoops! That should probably be "combat"  

nicoleblond a écrit:

text a écrit:- If a model has not charged, but it is “on watch,” playing the “Inactive” CC will cost 1 AP less.

There is an error. Playing a CC cost 1 AP except "inactive" CC.
I purpose
- If a model has not charged, but it is “on watch,” playing a CC will cost 1 AP unless you play "inactive" CC.

That's much better.

nicoleblond a écrit:

text a écrit:- A model without the Long Reach skill and in melee with an opposing miniature can only choose the “Parry” or “Inactive” CC.

Do you use melee or distance cheat ?

Didn't we decide that melee was fighting with Long Reach and combat was fighting in base-to-base?
If so, then the sentence is correct.

nicoleblond a écrit:

text a écrit:If it chooses “Parry,” it cannot perform an attack if its result is 3 points greater than that of its opponent.

Add CC after Parry ? "If it chooses "Parry" CC, it cannot..."

Yes

nicoleblond a écrit:

text a écrit:They compare the cards to identify potential modifiers and special rules that apply to the battle underway.

Battle?

Probably should be "combat"

nicoleblond a écrit:Page 28 - 4- Both players have chosen the “Inactive” or “Parry” CC.

text a écrit:If both players each chose the “Inactive” CC, the activation of the card ends and the active player returns initiative to his opponent, even if all miniatures associated with the card have not been activated.

returns initiative?

That's correct.

nicoleblond a écrit:Page 30 - shooting into combat section

text a écrit:If successful, the figure in the fight with the target takes DAM. If there are multiple miniatures in combat with the target, the figure closest to the shooter is hit.

Do you use same terms ?

They should both be "combat"

nicoleblond a écrit:Page 33 - Alchemical Components section

text a écrit:If an alchemist is within 1 inch of a token placed on the scenery, the alchemist can, at the end of an action, reap components from the scenery

caption a écrit:The priest made a walk and will harvest the component.

The alchemist freely harvest a token at the end of an action.
We don't say that it's free.

Good catch. But we need to add an "s" to harvest: "The alchemist freely harvests a token at the end of an action."

nicoleblond a écrit:

text a écrit:If the scenery element contains tokens he has an affinity for, he collects 4 alchemical components; if the scenery element contains tokens of other elements, he only collects 2 alchemical components.

It miss sentence for alchemist for inner circle...
he collects 4 alchemical components for an alchemist for outer circle and 6 alchemist components for alchemist for inner circle.

We need to change it to:
"If the scenery element contains tokens he has an affinity for, he collects 4 alchemical components if he is from the outer circle or 6 components if he is from the inner circle; if the scenery element contains tokens of other elements, he only collects 2 alchemical components regardless of his rank."

I make corrections. I send you pdf layout.
I purpose that we do final proofreading.

Some suggestions:

Page 17 Initiative Phase

First sentence, Should it read: " The 2 players choose one miniature from their force"

Page 22 Multiple Miniatures per card and charge

Second sentence, should it read: "both miniatures are moved to the target of the charge"

Page 33 Alchemical Components

Third sentence should it read:
"the alchemist freely harvests tokens"
and
"reaping components from the scenery"

Also Brett Haskell is spelt with two LL’s .

Thank you

Correct, it should be: "multiple miniatures per card,"

I think it is good as written.

It can go either way.

nicoleblond a écrit:20 - movement (Mvt). Movements instead ?

No. Movement is correct.

No, scenery is correct.

I think that got confused in the translation. If the templar reputation has been harmed, we should use this: "Separate from the secular church and nobles, the Templars have an aura of mystery that harms their reputation, although it has been improved by the disappearance of the king while under their protection."

Both sentences are correct as written. "The total points of recruited miniatures should not exceed 180." adding points to the end would be redundant.
"...for over 300 points, you must recruit 2 or 3 heroes." if you change 300 to 301, it will add confusion.

"original shooter" = the figure that instigated the reaction fire, so the sentence is correct as written.
