Default Re: Dominions 3 News!

On the subject of the manual; I like manuals that have a lot of flavour and fluff in them, like the StarCraft manual that featured long background stories for the three races. (long compared to every other manual)
Or the IWD manual with "tips" from an "experienced adventurer", which were quite humourus and thematic.
If the planned manual is that kind of manual, than I especially don't mind paying extra for it.

As for LCD VS CRT...
I know this isn't exactly what the "arguement" is about, but I think CRT monitors are far better than LCD monitors:
1) CRT monitors support many resolutions, much higher than LCD monitors, and they support them all just as well.
LCD monitors support only a few resolutions (usually not more than the common resolutions between 800*600 and 1280*1024), and only really support one resolution (their native resolution, most commonly 1280*1024), and other resolution look really bad.
2) CRT monitors cost less than LCD monitors. Atleast in here, a good LCD monitor costs 50% more than a good CRT monitor.
3) I didn't see it in my own eyes, but I heard that LCD monitors tend to produce "smears" and "smudges" in games, especially fast paced and intensive FPS games.
4) CRT monitors don't have the problem of "burnt pixels", which I've heard tend to appear quite commonly in LCD monitors.
5) CRT monitors are just as easy to view from any angle, if you try to look at an LCD monitor from a wide enough angle, things tend to look darker, in strange colors or you get to see reflections (say from the window).
