WOW!!!

THAT WAS EPIC!!!

I had already thought about it, I was going to ask if anyone could scan the tutorial part of the manual, but it can't be done or pirates will destroy this game... thats why I didn't ask for it. But please, could you tell me just two things, Why is dominion in game so important? (I cant understand how it works) and If the shipping is included in the game price.

thanks again

I don't see the point in pirating such a game.

It is turn based, low standard graphics (which is a diplomatic saying for 'bad looking an plain' ;o) - at least for the most of world's gamers), it has an 80's interface and is very complex, which drastically reduce the number of potential gamers.

In fact, this is a game for REAL hardcore strategy gamers, whose who played AH wargames in the 80's (ASL ;o) or so and love having an headache when they play D

Also, this is made by TWO (very) (GREAT) people, obviously pationates ones, gamers who create games for gamers alike, and not by those making-money-only game's companies which stun us with superb-graphics-totally-easy-completly-void-games !!!

So, if you had pirated this game : try it, loose your games, be confused, lost, angry, feel stupid in face of the interface, and go back playing empty 3D games that's was made for you.

No offense against someone in particular.

But even if this game is somewhat expensive, well, you allready have a 100 times the price computer for playing with it, so ... Make an effort. Independants & small companies, whatever they create (games, music, films, etc.) are really importants for the freedom of us all. I want to have choice, and if they gone because we don't support them, I will not have it and be playing Disney games the rest of my life ... Gasp !

Note for the tutorial : download the demo and look in the /docs subfolder, if I'm not mistaken, you will find a pdf with instructions for the tutorial

Unless I'm mistaken, and the tutorial doc was made available for download later by illwinter/schrapnel ?

But I'm sure that the question of documentation for the tutorial, at least, was already resolved, as the demo don't came with a 300 page manual ...

You'll have to learn a lot of stuff by hand - typing out spell lists, etc.

The IRC channel is your best bet as far as getting questions answered as they come up.

There is also a strategy wiki page you can search for with some of the basics listed.

EDIT - Additionally, there is a walk-through for Dominions 2 by the writer of the manual for Dominions 3 that you can find in the downloads section, I believe, which will answer a lot of "start-up" questions.

Here is the download page for Dominions 2

You should send the serial to Illwinter so it can be properly documented.
