Matrix Games Forums

Forgot to add that mine downloaded ok[:)]

double post...apologies...I am on my wife's laptop as opposed to my processing beast at the house.

it's asking me for a login and password for ftp2.matrixgames.com??

There seems to be some issue with Matrix's ftp, so until they get back to work on Monday, I'm going to revive a former tradition of mine and provide a mirror site for the manual. It'll be taken down again once the official ftp is 100%.

REMOVED.

you are a gentleman and a scholar...well...a gentleman anyway...[:D]

er ... a scholar anyway ... [:D]

I'm feeling a lot of love here tonight... I don't think I can handle it...[:'(]

How about returning some of that love and posting the editor manual!

Not my call.

Well it is Summer so we can FIRE up the grill and have roast Terminus steaks, burgers and what not. Hey, maybe we could even have some salad???

Sounds like stuff that could make you terminally ill.

Enjoy and thanks for your support. [8D]

I'll say this for it: it's better than I was afraid it would be after the sample.

Still, you need to be careful about having people whose primary language is not English writing manual inclusions in English.

I'm sure you have delighted at the assembly instructions included with consumer goods manufactured in PRC...

Clarification needed on page 63: [/align] [/align]Caption says 5.1.3.10 GROUND WITHDRAWAL SCHEDULE (HOTKEY G) but the text that follows says: [/align] [/align]The Ground Reinforcement Schedule lists all ground units that are expected to be withdrawn in the near future. From left to right, each unit’s Type (INF for Infantry, HQ for Headquarters, etc.), unit Name, which HQ it is Attached to when it arrives on map, the unit’s Assault value, current location, the number of Days Until Arrival, and Withdrawal.
The Load cost, Port of Arrival, and Days Until Arrival columns can help the player plan on having transport in that port for the day the reinforcements arrive, so that they may be immediately loaded and moved wherever needed.
Along the top of the screen is a list of ground unit types, which are not abbreviated and are self-explanatory. Click on each to bring up a list that pertains to that ground unit type. Clicking on any of the yellow column headers at the top will sort the list by that item.
The "Days until …" delay is shown in days up to 90 days. After that, the delay is shown as an actual date (day month year),

The text is a near repeat of the preceeding section on reinforcements and actually gives no information on how LCU withdrawals are handled, e.g. where the units have to be in order to withdraw or what penalties to expect. It seems there has been some mix-up?   

Not sure if this has been noted but there are duplicate sections on pages 62-63 whereby the "Ground Withdrawal Schedule" has the same text as the previous section "Ground Reinforcement Schedule".

Check the post above yours [;)]

LOL[:D]
 
Teach me for not reading all the posts then[;)]
 
I guess it's been verified now[:D]

You act as if English as a first language is the only prerequisite to decent English skills[:-]. Some companies, however, do hire professional writers to do their manuals. In fact, IIRC Dominions three went that route. As a consequence, the manual was a joy to read. Now if only Matrix games had the budget to do the same...

Back to the thread, i thought the AE manual, overall, was quite good.
