Hm. Occurs to me that it shouldn't be too detailed -- we want it to be a good description of the game, something for a prospective buyer or for somebody looking for discussion/details, but not a replacement for the manual.

Hm, why is that a problem if it is too detailed? I think that more details = happier people. In fact take a look at Sunray's site for example. It is excellent because it contains lot of infos about Dominions 2. for example.

I agree, the Wiki should be detailed, just with detail that is not in the manual. The Wiki can explain things that are just glossed over in the manual - it can have various play strategies and reason swhy the game is worth playing.
As well as a general friendly intro to the game

Mostly to avoid making it too easy for those who obtain unauthorized copies of the game, that's all.

We might also want spoiler warnings at some point. *shrug*

Hm unauthorized copies? What is that means exactly? You mean illegal copies?
Hm....but wait those people can also read the various PDF files and sites like Sunray's.

I think if people are going through the trouble of getting an illegal copy and obtaining a CD key through nefarious means, then denying easy access to a site that gives them tips on how to play Pangaea is not going to help or hinder their life of crime significantly.

I think the purpose of the Wiki is to provide an easily searchable resource for generic questions that are not to be readily found in the manual:

What is the best magic item path to take a mage from Earth-2 to Earth-5?

What are the national heroes for late-era Ermor?

What maps has Jason Lutes done?

What is a "Blitz Game"?

What Super Combattant chassis have people had success with?

[Taqwus]

*shrug* True enough.

Although 'best' is going to start fights.

[Nerfix]

Hahaha, yeah, but I think that mentioning several different aproaches and their advantages and disadvantages is good. =)

Just a bump to bring this to new players' attention.
