To my surprise, I've found that the Dom I-manual, which can be downloaded from Illwinters Website, is a bit more verbose than the Dom II manual.
I dont know Dom I, but much of the deleted text from Manual DomI to DomII seems to be integrated into RightClick-PopUps now, which is very useful generally speaking (although it nerves me that you just cant look up the descriptions of the nations in the DomII manual), but there also seems to be other information which might not have become obsolete in DomII...why did they delete it?
Saving pages to reduce printing cost? Then rather skip the grimoire, as this is less useful IMHO, since you need to know a spells school/level in order to look it up, which is difficult if you are new to the game...A spreadsheet-file for sorting/filtering was much more helpful for me, and certainly much more uptodate with those patches...
But as I said: I guess I dont really want to know more of the mechanics, I just want to know that everybody else I might play does not know
that much more than I do...
