Ambiguous wording in the Combat section #328

Open ArtOfTesting opened 6 months ago

ArtOfTesting commented 6 months ago

At the beginning of Combat section there is written

Combat with Neutral Units starts when a Hero moves to an unvisited Field with a roman numeral, signifying the type and number of Neutral Units guarding that Field

But this is not entirely true, because the Roman numeral indicates the field's difficulty level, not the type and number of units. The type and number are read from the Field Difficulty Table based on the mentioned unit difficulty and the selected game level.

In my opinion, the text should read:

Combat with Neutral Units starts when a Hero moves to an unvisited Field with a roman numeral, signifying the difficulty of Neutral Units guarding that Field

Maybe: Combat with Neutral Units starts when a Hero moves to an unvisited Field with a roman numeral, see Difficulty Table for Tier and Number of Neutral Units.

With link to the Table?

The table is already linked in the detailed description below. No need to repeat it.

At the first glance I thought the change you're proposing is unnecesary, but it was actually due to the fact that I already know the rules. That text should change imo, even if just by the slight change of 'signifying' to 'determining'. Btw internet tells me the "Roman" should be capitalized.

My proposal with a significant change:

When a Hero moves to an unvisited Field with a Roman numeral on it, combat with Neutral Units starts. The Roman numeral determines the tier and number of Neutral Units the player fights against based on the Field Difficulty Level Table.
