Thanks for all the answers guys.

One more question - i read somewhere that the manual is a good read. How would you rate it?

Fairly essential if you have never played a Dominions game before and especially if you are interested in the mechanics. The turn resolution order for different kinds of commands is also pretty illuminating.

It is an above average manual. Almost 300 pages. Includes a tutorial, screen shots, charts, suggested god builds and strategies to help you get started. One of the things that I think made it great is that it was written by a player, not the programmer.

And the smartest thing they did was making it spiral bound so it lays flat when Im trying to read and play at the same time.

Yeah the manual is good. And this is from someone who never uses manuals. Even to an experienced player it is still a valuable reference

The manual is very nice. I use it to plan my research based on the spells and items I want/need all the time. I can't eat a meal at home without reading something, so it's a common dinnertime piece of reading material. I also recommend Edi's spreadsheets to get info on sites, the expansion nations, etc, that are not in the manual.

Its also nicer than most manuals, having a fairly solid cover and being ring-bound.

So, which one of you is the author of the manual??
