Some more bugs:
  • Skeletal Horsemen should get Vanguard
  • Skeletal Horse Archers should get Scout
  • Khalida lost her regeneration
  • The Casket's default squad name is "Squad"
  • "Unstable" pulls its long description into the item, rather then being explained in the footnotes like the other longer explanations.

But thanks for getting this update out there! Nothing like a month of having to make rosters the old fashioned way to really drive home how much your work is appreciated in keeping up the AB files.

Some inconsistencies rather than bugs seem to lie in which meta-rules pull in their components. For example, Terror drags in Fear. Nehekaran Undead causes Unbreakable, Fear, and Unstable to be listed.

However, Entombed Beneath the Sands doesn't include Ambushers, Fast Cav doesn't list Vanguard.

Likewise, some special abilities due to troop type (eg, Stomp for M.I., and M.B., thunderstomp for Monsters) are listed, but others (eg swiftstride for cav, chariots, and M.B.) are not listed.

Anyway - was wondering if your life as a data file maintainer would be easier if meta-rules were a linked object that always pull in their sub-rules? Then all M.I. would get Stomp and Monstrous Support automagically, all cav would get Swiftstride, etc. Perhaps there could be a global setting for verbosity, such as "<checkbox> List Out Metarules" which would print them all out, and if unchecked it would just say "Nehekaran Undead, Fast Cav, Scout" rather than also breaking out the meta-rules into lists.

Thanks again!
