Default Re: Dominions 3 News!

My complaint on manuals goes like this...

A) I dont tend to use a printed one unless Im going to the dentist or somewhere I have to wait

B) I dont like PDF because it always feels like Im using a giant truck to deliver a small box. Its long and eats CPU and Memory to let me look up some piddly little thing. PDF is a ton of special options that the manual never uses.

C)I will use local copies of manuals in HTML form or something else that my browser can pop right up. Especially if its multiple files that are named in ways that tell me how to jump to what I want. Besides, most html manuals do a better job of keyword linking to different sections than any pdf Ive ever gotten.

D) most file forms of manuals I just convert to .txt files. Thats what I did with all the pdf files I got from Dom2.

I'd get more use from a Dom3 hot-coffee mug that has all the keypresses on it for those late night sessions Im going to be plagued with (and if someone else doesnt CafePress it then I will)
