Is there a official history of the world of dom 2 ?

[jaif]

Let me expand a bit: I have no complaints with the manual in regards for teaching me how to play the game. Between the manual and the between-turn tips, I've gotten a lot of the micromanagement down pat.

My problem, as a stats guy, is that I can't work on a nation/pretender design without turning on the game. I'd like to put in a bit of planning, but there just isn't enough out there.

On a seperate note, you may consider introductory paragraphs to the sections as a way to do some more history. I've seen that done in numerous RPGs (Pen & Paper).

I support what jaif said:

a brief strat guide for each of the nations themes. Picture 3 paragraphs: strengths, weaknesses, and general play advice. Again, this is targetted at someone who opens up the manual and is pretty lost.

...and I dont have a need for a detailed overall history, since I think that is a task that is better be left to map/scenario designers!

Especially due to the allowed modding, D2 is rather a platform for huge variety of possible histories.
