Marsyas (I, personally, found his character sheet the most disturbingly difficult to read so far)

When a God with a challenge token activates, they must move as quickly as they can towards Marsyas, reducing the distance between them by the maximum amount possible.
can be paraphrased as
When a God with a challenge token activates, it must move taking the shortest possible route towards Marsyas.
OR
When a God with a challenge token activates, it must move towards Marsyas, minimizing the distance between them.

If there is a choice of area that fulfils this requirment, then the player moving the God may decide.
can be paraphrased and typo-cleansed as
If there are multiple possible routes, then the owner of the God may decide which route to take.

After the God has moved, the challenge token is discarded.
can be paraphrased as
Once the movement is complete, the challenge token is discarded.

Oedipus

If he does this then his player is assumed to have spent 1 Art of War card, which may be used as the full or part payment for any manoeuver.
may be paraphrased as
If he does so, then his owner is assumed to have spent 1 Art of War card, which may be used as the full or partial payment for a maneuver.

…that attack will cause no damage unless it pays Art of War cards.
may be paraphrased as
…that attack inflicts no damage unless the attacker spends an Art of War card.

The attacker may wait until after the damage has been calculated to decide whether to pay for it to happen.
may be paraphrased as
The attacker may wait until after the damage is calculated to decide whether to spend the Art of War card.

can be corrected as
Place up to 1 Rapture token on each target unit until either the pool of Rapture tokens or the group of potential targets is exhausted.

If a unit with a Rapture token on it is damaged,…
can be shortened as
If a unit with a Rapture token is damaged,…

A unit that begins its activation with a Rapture token on it can do nothing except make a special action to remove it.
may be paraphrased as
A unit that begins its activation with a Rapture token can only perform a special action that removes the token.

Return the token to Orpheus' pool.
can be clarified as
Once removed, return the Rapture token to Orpheus' pool.

Perseus

I just want to point out that a collection of tokens is sometimes referred to as a pool (as with Orpheus) and other times as a supply (as with Perseus). Might be better to stick to using the same term for a more coherent read.

Well, that's my two cents. Hope it helps. Peace out!

Well done Can!

There's been some talk about an Opponent Locator, I wonder if this is something that could also be included in this app easily? A profile you create in the App which stores Location info to create a searchable DB?

- Donner la possibilité de créer un pool de Divinités (Dieu ou Titan) parmi lequel choisir ? (Avec une réglette de 1 à 20 Divinités par exemple)
Eh bien je présume que je peux le faire oui. En fait à la base, l'application devait avoir un système de bans. Et je ne voyais pas pourquoi "restreindre" les picks des Dieux dans ce contexte. Mais oui, tu as raison, il n'y a plus aucune raison pour que les Dieux et les Titans ne soient pas non plus passés dans la moulinette du random. ^^

- En plus de proposer un pool limité en nombre de monstres/héros/troupes, proposer un pool limité en nombre de Points de Recrutement (RP) ?
Par exemple une réglette de 0 à X RP de monstres/héros et une de 0 à X troupes et/ou trois réglettes de 0 à X RP de monstres, 0 à X RP de héros et 0 à X troupes.
Là, ça va être un poil plus compliqué. Déjà, visuellement ça va être très chargé avec toutes ces réglettes sur mobile mais surtout ça implique que, derrière, mon algorithme de "randomisation" soit plus "intelligent". Je vais étudier le machin ce soir et je te dirai pour la faisabilité. ^^

J'ai vu que tu as déjà créé la possibilité d'opter pour un pool de Divinités, merci pour ta réactivité Smile

Peux-tu ajouter une 3e réglette avec "Dieux et Titans" pour qu'on détermine le nombre de divinités disponibles tirées au hasard parmi les deux ?

J'me doutais que ce serait un peu plus compliqué pour une random list plafonnée par RP mais j'pense que ça peut être utile pour optimiser le pool afin d'avoir à choisir entre drafts à combo et drafts défensifs, et éviter d'avoir de trop petites listes draftables si seuls des héros à 1 ou 2 RP sortent. Pour ce qui est de l'algorithme, je suis désolé mais j'ne peux pas t'aider, ce n'est pas du tout mon domaine :p

Pour la lisibilité, peut-être en proposant un 1er choix : "Do you want to generate a randomized pool of selectable units ?
3 boutons de réponse : "No thank you", "Yes, I set the amount of units avalaibles", "Yes, I set the amount of RP avalaibles"
Si l'utilisateur répond "Yes...", 2e choix : 4 réglettes : Heroes, Monsters, Heroes and Monsters, Troops.

Are the stats meant to be left blank? Meh!

Nope, they aren't but I couldn't find any info about them on Internet. Hopefully someone emailed me them. They should be in the app soon.

Can wrote:: Hydra

should become
The defending units cannot retaliate.

Also, do we really need the definite article (the) used with Hydra? Couldn't we just say "Target all enemy units within Hydra's range."?

I've left the definite articles for now because I know there are several other cases like this one. As you said earlier this needs more consistency. I need to see what Mythic Games decides for that.

Can wrote:: Well, that's my two cents. Hope it helps. Peace out!

That was great. Thanks ! I've applied all your changes, except the definite articles for (the) Hydra and the last power of Orpheus. I like the way the original text insists on the fact the Unit can't do anything else (we may call this a Descent trauma ^^; ). Maybe you could provide another sentence for this power ?

Right now, there's no online database. The app is fully offline but maybe i'll add this kind of stuff in the future since I've already planned to make an online API system.

J'aime beaucoup l'idée d'avoir plusieurs options pour la "moulinette" aléatoire, mais du coup, je préférerais pouvoir les cumuler. Ce que tu me proposes réglerait le problème de lisibilité de la chose mais ne permettrait pas de les cumuler. Je vais y réfléchir et voir comment je pourrais agencer tout ça.
Et, mea culpa, en fait j'avais pas bien compris ta demande la première fois. Je pensais que tu me parlais d'un système qui faisait en sorte qu'il y ait à peu près tous les coûts, pour ne pas finir avec que des unités à 1 ou 2, ou ce genre de chose. D'où mon blabla sur l'algo intelligent, mais bref, c'était n'importe quoi. ^^ Effectivement, pour le moment c'est full random et ça me convient assez. ^^

In less than 1 hour, the last build of the app should be live.

I've added user interface translation support.

Pour les français: maintenant, l'interface de l'appli est totalement traduite. Ca devrait détecter la langue automatiquement, si ce n'est pas le cas, il faut que vous choisissiez "Français" dans les options de l'app et là tout devrait rouler. ^^

Please, if you want to help, do not provide Google Translations.

You can copy/paste the whole section above and modify the content between double quotes. Just have in mind that it has to be encoded in UTF8 so be careful with special characters, and do not remove the extra spaces before the variable names even if you find it ugly to look at. ^^
Since it will be directly imported in the app, you also have to be careful with some aspects of the content : If you need to insert double quotes and slashes inside your translation strings, you have to escape them like that : "bla bla bla \"bla\" bla bla bla" for something that would look like that bla bla bla "bla" bla bla bla.
You also must avoid modifying the variables between brackets like this one {{rp}}.
And that's pretty much it I think.

Thanks again, guys !

Thank you. What an excellent utility! I agree that Can's comments could well be taken on board for the physical dashboards - whether they are or aren't I think the wording here should be the same as on the gamey.

Subject: Re: [Mobile App] Tools for Mythic Battles 3rd January 2017, 1:38 pm

As we already have noticed and as Mythic Games already stated: the original dashboards still need some rewording work. So, until the game is officially released, the app is opened to all users improvement contributions.

When the game is released, I'll replace all the game content with the official one. If some official errata happen after that, they will also be in the app. It's one of the advantages for having virtual dashboards. ^^

If you still prefer your own power descriptions, or want to edit units to try different things, etc. it will still be possible because game content editing is already planned (and coming soon). ^^
