What kind of in-game help is available? In Dom2 it was so often that your perfect turn plan was coming just one gem short - frustrating! Where is the in-game help when you need one?  |

I wondered about that, too. I thought it might be something like an in-game manual, or very advanced text popups, but I'm not sure. Gems and gold are seen on the main window. Stealthy units have a map icon. You can switch between dominion candles or combined dominion/gold/resources box. Your pretender's name is visible on the main view and you can click it to find him. The season is visible in the upper right corner. It's better, but maybe it isn't good enough for a new player without a manual. I hope it'll be enough for old players who get a manual. |

The in-game help that I was talking about it a list of commands and brief explanations (very brief) that you can access from the main screen - so more like helping you figure out how to do something that helping you figure out what to do.
For helping you figure out what to do there is a tutorial game included. |

Re: Previews!
Looks great! I didn't realize that PvK was an anagram of his name.

Indeed.
That third screenshot is also excellent. A Ghost King named Nerfix is casting Streams from Hades!  |
