Default Request: A way to extract/copy text descriptions

Dominions3 really needs a way to copy the ingame unit, spell, item, nation and whatever descriptions.

The descriptions are excellent. But when me and my friend play Dominions (separate SP games) we have to manually type every cool description or random event message. This makes bragging inconvenient.

Aside from bragging, the feature would boost Dominions3 marketing. I have reasons to believe Dominions3 relies on viral marketing and word-of-mouth (keyboard etc) stuff to spread. Extractable text descriptions would make spreading the word and convering people much easier. There are screenshots, I know :=/ .

If descriptions were available in external files, I bet a lot of people would make translation for their native language. This would further boost sales of the game.

One potential disadvantage: someone could compile an electronic manual which could help pirates. But what's stopping someone from scanning all the 300ish pages of dead tree Dominions3 manual ?

Bragging is very important, by the way.
