Hi Litude,
Good news that you can finally fix it up. Will this be happening for other languages too?
I didn't read the whole lot, I just skimmed some of it.
Comments: (note that page numbers are from on the manual, and not the PDF viewer)
- The whole license agreement is in German!!
- The mentions of Windows on page 6 should probably not just say Windows 98/95, maybe just Windows?
- Page 13 - Screenshot could be updated to include main menu text changes
- Page 15 - Stats menu screenshot should be updated. (IMO
)
- Page 16 - Both images need updating for text changes
- Page 44 - I think the table would be better if that space between the header row and the other rows was removed.
- Page 47 - Top row, delivers -> deliver
- Page 48 - Lots of the text on this page needs rewording. The Storm attack ability would be better as the charge ability, "Worth mentioning" doesn't sound at all formal enough, the thing about linking them together doesn't fit well, and the sword fighter needs a longer, more interesting description.
- Page 49: - First line, is -> are, battle axe -> hand axe, enemy fighters -> enemy soldiers.
- Page 50: The bit about long ranged troops should be moved down to line up with the crossbowman. Stuff -> fighting
- Page 51 - (rouge description) "the he" -> he Battle axe -> Hand axe
- Page 52 - "But beware when opposing bowmen and crossbowmen are being deployed" -> "But beware of opposing bowmen and crossbowmen, for warriors are also very weak." I think the siege equipment should be moved right to the bottom of this page, and then put a red heading above them "Constructed in the siege workshop" (like the town hall one)
- Page 57 - Some of the text has changed, e.g. storm attack -> charge
- Page 64 - Says troops eat fish. We wish... Just remove the mention of fish.
- Are you going to update the credits to match the in-game ones? I think you should...
- Do you think we should add to the Q&A section how to get around the bug that stops ware delivery to construction sites caused by too many buildings on order? (demolish one of the buildings on order) I suppose it might make it look bad, admitting that it has bugs.
There are so many other grammar mistakes, but it's slow reporting them this way. It would be best if you could look through the whole thing systematically correcting as you go. (but I can see that would be a mammoth job)
I'd also like to add that some of the images might be good for the Art section of the fansite. (now that we can extract them nicely) e.g. the gold plated images on the last two pages.
As far as exporting from Word to PDF, have you tried Open Office? It's pretty good at opening Word documents, and you might be able to setup the bookmarks from there.
I might have another look later, if I feel like it.
Lewin.
