Just out of curiousity, if you need to know both spells and units to create effective strategies, and the manual gives you just spells, how do newcomers cope? Guesswork and trial and error?
It just seems like crucial information, and yet there's no official source.

To be fair, there *is* an "official source" for the units: the game itself. What I mean is that all nations' units are documented in the game and can be accessed simply with right-click. It is, of course, not the most convenient thing when you are playing Ermor and want to know what a Kailasan unit's stats are before attacking, but you can always look these things up. The spells, on the other hand, often do not have exact descriptions anywhere in the game, and thus it was felt that the most appropriate place for this information was the manual. While we would like to have had a full listing of all nations' unit stats, given the fact that the manual is already 300 pages, the space limitations precluded it. But Sunray has done a fantastic job of compiling data, since long before Dom3 came out. Great job!
