Yes, 134 pages of it. Pretty good by itself, but the game is complex enough that you'll need to download various guides and other docs that fans here have put together.

Get both games. If you can only afford one, get Dom. (I own both.)

I own both also, Dominions 2 is a much better game in my opinion.

As the eternal diplomat I would have to say that asking here would be kindof biased. Maybe you should also ask in the SE4 forum and get the opinion of people who have both but that one instead. They probably choose to hang out there more than here (if such people exist that is)

I have both....SE4 is a great game....great support....just a really good game....

Dom2 is a great game....looks like it will have great support, the devs post here all the time.....just another really good game....

Now, which one to buy?

hmmmmm.....do you like Sci-Fi? Or, do you like Fantasy better? I personally don't think you can go wrong with either game....but if you like Sci-Fi better, get SE4 first....if you like Fantasy better, get Dom2 first....

BUT, get both when you can....

Chris
