Hmm, it came to me that there is one very important thing regarding the manual that should be kept in mind.

It is NOT meant for ANY kind of digital distribution. So in case anyone does have the inclination and the stamina to rewrite the manual to be accurate, CONTACT SHRAPNEL GAMES STAFF FIRST AND ASK PERMISSION. Annette would be the best choice.

Errata documents such as the ones we already have are a different beast, because they simply correct erroneous information in the manual and at most quote the erroneous excerpt. An errata document does not reproduce the manual in its entirety, like a complete rewrite would.

The modding and mapmaking manuals did not suffer from this problem when I did them because they were already distributed in electronic form with the game and that information was simply rearranged in the new modding document. By the time we had the new mapmaking manual, those rewritten documents had become the official ones.

The issues in this post cannot be stressed enough, since they involve intellectual property rights related to Shrapnel Games and Illwinter Game Design as companies and only those entities can have final say on the matter. I don't want anyone to get in hot water because of my previous post on overall Dominions 3 documentation.
