Default Re: The Dominions 3: \"Wishlist\"

If it's not already on here, I would like to add a manual that explains the details of how the game works in greater detail than the current brief manual. (The brief manual I'm referring to is the short manual before the printout of the spell and magic item information from the game.)

Maybe the devs don't have to be the ones to actually write the manual (if they are now). Perhaps a player who understands the mechanics, especially relating to global enchantments, could write it for them and they could proof it for accuracy. I bet there are folks on this site who would do that for free if they got into Beta Club and the devs explained any significant changes from Dom 2.

I think consideration should be given to reorganizing how the spells and magic items are listed in the manual. Perhaps trinket/lesser/greater/artifact or the actual research level and (?not intuitive) category of spell research is less important than the paths involved to folks learning the game (who are the ones most likely to be looking at the manual). Not sure that there is any truly easy way to organize it without making it cumbersome and repeating information though. (For instance, items and spells requiring two types of magic would then be listed under both types for a new player.)

I apologize if this is a repeat of something that was already listed in the prior 40 pages.
