Game Manual
Hi people,
I'm downloading the demo to see if I want to go to the trouble of ordering this game from the US (as I can't find a Mac store in the UK that stocks it or even an online one!) but apparently the game manual is essential and the demo doesn't come with it? Is there anywhere where I could download the manual do you know, or something that has a complete guide to the game?
Thanks!

Re: Game Manual
The tutorial from the demo will provide enough information for learning and playing the game. After 3 or 4 demo games you'll know whether or not you want to purchase the full game.

Re: Game Manual
Sadly, I lost my manual (I've looked everywhere). I can't complain about the lack of a downloadable version because it just encourages piracy (the manual's really, really nice), but I do hope Illwinter will offer manuals for sale separately, although it's not a realistic hope.

Re: Game Manual
The manual is nearly 300 pages, thick, with few pictures and lots of text explaining various game effects and listing the effects of various spells in more detail, giving stats of the summoned units and offering some insight into the details of e.g. what a unit has to do to break out of Earth Grip. I think it's too expensive to give away freely.

Re: Game Manual
Hehe, I can just see it in my mind, and aeroplane spreading fliers.
Only instead of fliers, they're 300 page Dominions 3 manuals 
I'd hate to have one fall on my head.

Re: Game Manual
The manual alone is worth $55 US. The game is a bonus.

Re: Game Manual
Yeah the manual is hot. And hopefully one day they will reprint it with all the typos/corrections and offer it forsale standalone, at least to people who bought the game.

Re: Game Manual
Ved, there's only one edition of the game, with Mac, Windows, and Linux versions on the same disc. You don't have to order it from a Mac-specific store...

Re: Game Manual
I'd be willing to pay atleast 15$ on top of the 47 I already paid (I pre-ordered mine). I imagine that the ordering company-the one Shrapnel/Illwinter uses has a record of sale from my original purchase, and if not, I can always produce the number on the back of my CD for proof of purchase. Then again, maybe I left it under the carseat...

Re: Game Manual
I think Prima Guides should cut a deal.
