I wish I knew how the poison damage is calculated, and what does the length of the poison bar mean (I know it's relative to the strength of posion, but what does that mean exactly). Also, what's the difference in poison strength from the attack description? If it says weak posion, does that mean that it will wear off sooner, but the damage is the same, or that the damage is higher, or both? Does death posion mean that the posioned unit will always die and it cannot wear off? Are poisons cummulative, i.e. several weak posion attacks that damage the unit will be the same poison-wise as one strong poison damaging attack? This is the kind of things I would really like to see in the manual.

BTW : is there any search engine on this forum ?

[EDIT : of course this is not of a great importance]
Sounds buggy. They should be.

Thanks to St. Patrick for this thread. A very good idea indeed - well done.

Currently, a lot of people argue or complain about the gold economy in Dominions 2, as well as the viability of light versus heavy units.

My suggestion:

For the game setup screen, take out "World Richness", and put in "Gold Richness" and "Resource Richness" as independant settings. Instead of 3 settings - low (50%), normal (100%), and high (200%) - give each 20 settings: 10% through 200%, in 10% increments.

Master List bullets:

* Add separate gold richness and resource richness settings for new games
* Allow finer adjustment of map richness levels, in 10% increments

10% increments are a bit much. How about these increments?

Very Low (50%)
Low (75%)
Normal (100%)
High (150%)
Very High (200%)

If it makes it in at all, I'll be happy. Smaller increments are just icing

Currently, you can tell a mage to "cast monthly ritual" with shift-m, but there is no way to select that in the orders list. I didn't realize it was possible until I saw the tip between turns.

So:

* Add "Cast Monthly Ritual" to commander orders list
