There are a couple of things still in Russian, in the game. Could you give me a translation (though only if it's not too much trouble)? :)

1. The death scene, with Russian voiceover (filename: death_fail.wmv)
2. The gravestone, just behind Laska's place. (I posted a screenshot here: http://www.devisraad.com/slj/stone.jpg )

Thanks! I have to admit, I'm a little obsessed with this game! :D
Still playing through it for the first time now... I'll post my opinions when I've completed it. All I'll say right now is: I like it!

I'll try to render it in Russian )

The voice in the deathscene says:

"We placed our hopes on him, but he failed to get ready for the meeting. The Hair Eater, the Bone Spirit, Shabnak stole up to him, touched him and turned his blood into poisoned tar. Having eaten the body, it got into the heart of the steppe, reached the interior waters, and the plague swallowed these lands up."

And on the gravestone it is written:

"Here Farhad lies,
the most stubborn one of the architects.
We built this tombstone on the perfect foundation.
From inconsolable guild brothers,
P. et A. Gemini."


"guild brothers" may be put as "colleagues", but it doesn't sound solemn enough and is not close-to-text.
Also I'm not sure of proper names - if they coincide with those in the English version, or not.

But, I hope, the general sense is clear.
If not - maybe, The LxR will correct me.

Waiting forward for your opinions :)

Thanks *very* much, Alessa! That's great - So the gravestone is for Petr and Andrei's fallen colleague, eh? :wink: Interesting...

Thanks for taking the time to translate those. I really appreciate it.

I'm on Day 9 of the Bachelor scenario right now. The Army has just rolled into town...

M-m-m... The last three days, the last frontier... ) BTW, are all your Adherents alive? It's OK for them to be sick - you can cure them, but if obe of them dies - i t greatly affects the ending.

One of them died (day 7, I think), but I checked the walkthrough and it said it was unavoidable. Apart from that, everyone is alive.

There are two sick people, but they're not on my list of adherents. Also, one thing confused me: Rubin is supposedly sick, but when I give drugs to the executor and go into his room, he's not there. :?:

It is. And there is a curious question - how and why did he die? ;)

It was interesting. Really )
And didn't take much time at all.
I enjoy practicing English (translating, reading and so on) as it is my future job, actually.
So, glad to help.)

Eve Yahn is destined to die, unfortunatelly, so this won't affect anything. You might also want to keep other people alive by giving them antibiotics everyday, so that you'll get extra options in the end (Won't tell you which ones, not to spoil the fun). As for Rubin - well, i guess it's a bug - the thing is, that he is hiding from the Kains, so he's not in his place, but the bird-executioneer had to be put somewhere. The only logical place was near his door, i guess.
