This is an auxiliary thread to the main Trakoria thread:
I've attached a draft of a newly written chapter of the Scenario Manual, namely a run-down of the units in the scenario. (The in-game Civilopedia really doesn't let you include any unit descriptions.) There are some strategy tips in there too, but note that I haven't had the opportunity to double-check everything at this point.
Do take a look and give me your two cents. Are the descriptions clear and relevant? Is it necessary to include the stats for each unit, or do I get away with simply referring to the Civilopedia? Should I refrain from listing certain units in order not to ruin the surprise of the monsters and such?
The existing portion of the Trakoria Online Manual can be found at my old homepage (which, to my amazement, is still online – just don't try to e-mail me on the address listed):
Here's the Tech Three:
...and here's the Map of Trakoria:
If there is any interest in also fleshing out the Scenario Manual with a Strategy Guide, I might be able to do a step-by-step historical walk-through (with screen shots, of course). Not that it would be the optimal or even preferred style of play, but it would give some insight into how the scenario is designed and intended to be played. That information could then be used as a benchmark to find alternative strategies yielding even greater success!
Edit: I actually found a third-party online manual of sorts for my scenario, listing all the unit stats (and graphics):
