If the manual is as helpful as the manual of Dom2, you should just drop it, save the money, lower the price and include a good tutorial / launch a Dominions 3 wikipedia as Stardock is doing for GC2. Maybe you could offer a cheaper download only version, saving people the shipping cost.
I'm not sure why people don't like the manual for Dom2. It contains almost all the information you need to understand the basics of the game mechanics, and it's not as though the interface is complicated.

Eh. No. I had to read multiple 3rd party docs before I figured out what was going on. In any sense, its 90% items/spells 10% mechanics.

Third party docs always tend to be an advatage. By the time a developer has a playable product they are past being able to think like a newbie to write a manual.
