Default Re: Dominions 2 Demo - Manual petition to Illwinte

I also found the demo something that was pretty lacking. The first time I played it I was totally unimpressed. None of the games interesting features were really brought out to me. It was only later when I friend brought me back to it and pointed out a few things that gameplay became very interesting. In turn I tried to also interest some of my friends but they all turned away because of the demo :/

As for the manual, liga, I found the answer to this when I posted a thread some time ago about why dom2 was only available on a physical CD and had to be mailed, as opposed to downloaded. A Shrapnel Games person posted and said that they felt it was thier most effective way to combat piracy. Whether this is true or not - given that other small download-only houses (like galciv, etc) seem to be doing ok - I dont know.

I will say this tho. By the time the actual physical manual actually arrived at my place I didnt even need it anymore. Only look at it one or two times a month.

I have tryed and asked the devs if I could include the original manual in the addenda to provide an electronic full (or at lesat with the top of knowledge) version that could be give to people an idea of the deep of the game ... but i got not a real answer .. i think that they prefer to keep the original manual just only in the official game.

I'm be able to get new adept (at the moment we are in 14 in my group playing dom2) making lan party and introducing the game to the new player in hot seat sessions.

Anyway as soon as we got permission form the devs I will be really happy to help in preparing a manual for beginner and one for advanced players!

good luck and good play
Liga
