Editing Undead vs Unliving (section)

= Notes =
[[Death Knight|Death knights]], [[Necromancy|skeletons]], and [[Vampire and Vampire Lord|vampires]] are all described as being '''resurrected'''. This seems to be an oversight in the manual. It could have been written that they were animated through '''unholy magic''' or '''unholy resurrection''' or just necromancy.

[[Stone Gargoyle and Obsidian Gargoyle|Gargoyles]], [[Stone Golem and Iron Golem|go]][[Gold Golem|le]][[Diamond Golem|ms]], [[Walking Dead and Zombie|zombies]], and [[Water Elemental and Ice Elemental|elementals]] are all described as being '''animated''' by magic.

[[Crystal Dragon|Crystal dragons]] are described as being '''brought to life through magical means'''. The manual also states that they are often '''created''' by wizards for the crystal they shed. The quest objective of the dragon slayer campaign is defeating a "crystal golem dragon". In the video they state that they have succeeded in creating a dragon golem out of the finest crystal. Despite these references to the crystal dragons as golems, as far as the game mechanics are concerned they are considered to be living creatures.

In all three manuals, the word '''non-undead''' is only used twice and only in the Restoration of Erathia manual. It is used to describe creatures that can be [[sacrifice|'''sacrificed''']] as well as creatures that are damaged by the death cloud of [[Lich and Power Lich|liches]]. The manual fails to mention that elementals, golems, and gargoyles are also immune to the death cloud.

The word '''living''' is only used in the Restoration of Erathia manual and it is only used once. It is used to describe creatures that lose [[morale]] when in the same army as '''undead''' creatures. The manual fails to mention gargoyles, which also lose morale when in an army with '''undead''' creatures. The elixir of life plainly states that it does not affect '''non-living''' (or '''undead''') creatures. The elixir of life does not affect gargoyles other than the basic increase in health provided by the lesser artifacts in the set.

The words '''unliving''', '''un-living''', '''nonliving''', and '''non-living''' are not referenced in either the Restoration of Erathia manual, or the Armageddon's Blade manual.

The same is true in the Shadow of Death manual, except for a single reference to '''non-living''' when describing creatures '''unaffected by the {{l|Elixir of Life}}'''. It also implies that '''non-living''' refers to a creature group that is distinct from the '''undead'''. The in-game description for the elixir of life replaces the word '''non-living''' with '''unliving''', which is also the only place the word '''unliving''' is ever seen.
