In the instructions that came with English Mayfair Games version of the game, it states that during deck preparation for two or three players, a pile of 15 cards is drawn from the Pompeii/Omen cards. Then, one of the A.D. 79 cards is shuffled into those 15 cards. However, in a file in this section on Deck Preparation, it states that during deck preparation for two or three players, a pile of 10 cards (instead of 15 cards) is drawn from the Pompeii/Omen cards.
So, which is correct during deck preparation? Are the rules from the English instructions that came with the manual correct (15 cards are drawn from the Pompeii/Omen cards for two or three players and 10 cards are drawn for 4 players)? Or, is the file in this section on deck preparation correct (10 cards are drawn from the Pompeii/Omen cards for two or three players and 15 cards are drawn for 4 players)?
Thanks.

We have always followed the printed rules for the game and shuffled the volcano card into the bottom 15 cards for 2-3 player games and into the bottom 10 cards into the 4-player game. The change for 4 players insures that the eruption doesn't come too early with more players (when everyone still wouldn't have that many citizens placed).
