I think there are 2 things that people playing dom2 needs ... and two level:

Usually (and also dom2) games provides in the box the rules for newbies, some games also the rules for experts and few of them also guides for newbies.

We can try to write a very usefull document keeping this level in minds:

we can just try to complete the rules of the manual with all the kind of informations newbies needs and than also a "in depth" look for expert.

Also with the guides we could just try to write a sort of newbies strategy guide (just telling the fondamental things a pleyer must do or not do) and than a in-depth guide.

I think we can use (and rewrite) the manual addenda just to cover the rules (both newbies and expert) and try to write a strategy guide (both for newbies and expert).

For each chapter I was thinking a sort of brief description and than a box (expert box) with formulas and details ... the same for the strategies.

In the guide we can concentrate on two things: general strategies and race/theme specific, on both level (basic=newbies, and expert).

Obviously we have to keep in mind and use all the usefull documents are already avaible on the net.

Some more suggestion ?

good play

PS. I'm still updating my Manula Addenda with all the suggestions/notes your are giving me in that post and also in other ... I things it could be still usefull, expecially to peolple tha don't have too much time to spend searching the forum ... I hope to realease a new Versione (1.1) before the end of that month
small additional info for your manual addenda

for ae/sg ermor you should include that sentence :
starting site unholy sepulchre produces 5 gems on poor world / 10 on normal world and 20 on rich world .

for every other nation/theme the starting site gem income is independent from world richness settings .


afaik about ermor freespawns and reanimations now almost everything is know .
but not so about pan cw .
i would like to try a pan cw newbie guide first and as expert info provide the freespawn/reanimation rates .
i start a new thread for gathering that info
