[Sombre]

I started playing without looking at the manual or playing the tutorial. I honestly didn't get very confused. I later looked a couple of things up in the manual, but I got a lot of info simply by lurking on here and trying things out for myself. I have never used someone else's strategy and I never will, though I do take their tips. I almost never use the manual now and I don't trust it, because it is often wrong in my experience. Not just about subjective things like strategies, but about mechanics, stats and facts.

I do pretty much know the entire modding manual without having to look anything up any more though. I have read through the entire thing many times. It's located in the docs subfolder of the dom3 install.
