Since our esteemed Stiletto (Gear_1989) is committing himself to the bonds of marriage in the near future and for an indefinite period :smile04:, I will take responsibility for maintaining the TE manual in an up-to-date state. Therefore, dear players, please write in this thread about any inaccuracies, errors, and what needs to be added to the manual. I perfectly understand that before editing it, it needs to be read. Therefore, we can distribute individual chapters among active players (including myself), and I will make the corresponding changes. Subsequently, I will promptly make all the changes myself. Does this option work? Maybe there are other suggestions. Thanks in advance.

A good option would be to make the main changes after Moz releases the new version of the mod.

A great option – major changes should be made after Moz releases the new version of the mod.

I didn't write about it here. At the same time as my previous message, I wrote to Moz about the planned change in the mod: when version 6.8 will be released and what will be fixed.

Alexey, I have a big request for you, please reply in the thread /topic/10966/ regarding the manual. And also: I understand that a new version of TE is being prepared. When? Maybe we should already make changes taking this into account, or should we wait? If not now, please let me know what is currently incorrect in the manual. Thanks in advance."

Well, unfortunately, I can’t give you a forecast, but I’ll try to finish it in a couple of weeks.

Okay, more than a year has passed, and no one has helped... :smile32:

Even though a lot of time has passed, we'll be waiting.

I completely forgot to post the information about the Manual analysis as of 08/01/2020.
I started from the very beginning: with the starting heroes. Specifically, I compared the data on the starting heroes in the game and in the Manual:
- name and description of the specialization, whether it contains the necessary formulas, spells;
- skills and abilities, armies, availability of siege weapons, adventure spells;
- I checked the range (possible variations of creature sets, maximum and minimum number of creatures) for the starting army of heroes (I had to launch the game several hundred times, of course). But I still think that the sample size is too small (specifically regarding the range of creatures in the starting army).
Differences in the game and in the Manual are highlighted in yellow. I do not rule out that I may have made some mistakes. BUT, this is not enough; it is necessary to test the accuracy of the descriptions and formulas in the game (probability, weekly increase, increase in defense and attack, characteristics, etc.). Without this, the work I have done is meaningless. I don't have time for testing. I will try to put in the effort in other sections of the Manual. Again, the problem is the lack of time: to do this, not to mention the amount of work done.
Of course, this is just the beginning. One thing is to make corrections to the Manual after a thorough analysis, but it is also necessary to make changes in the game in accordance with how it should actually be (after testing something in the game itself)...
Link to the file in Excel format. Thank you, Sithis, for your help with some points not related to the analysis presented.

The Manual has been updated as of June 2023.

Thank you Stiletto (Gear_1989)
