Default Re: Singleuser game balance

I have updated my Dom2 tutorial. Changes include:
- Seperation of the .pdf into parts. One for each lesson.
- Completed lesson 2 - Victory by Dominion.
- Cleanup of language thru-out.

I could use some pointers on things I have screwed up. For example: I have no idea where the pieces should go under other OS's.

The tutorial currently consists of 2 lessons:
- Lesson 1 Victory by Conquest
- Lesson 2 Victory by Dominion

I anticipate at least 3 more lessons:
- Lesson 3 Money
- Lesson 4 Magic
- Lesson 5 Modding for pleasure and pain.

Again, it is available at:
http://grumpy.usu.edu/~miles/personal/tutor1.zip

Here is the readme:
**********************************************
Tutorial1 instructions. ver.7 26Jan2004

This tutorial will aquaint you with the game of Dominions2. This
tutorial assumes that you have patched your game to Version 2.06

The tutorial was written using Linux, OpenOffice 1.0.2, nedit, and
gimp. I captured the graphic images using the utility xwd.

Dominions2 is a game that has evolved over years to be the best
multiplayer turn-based fantasy strategy wargame available.

Dom2 is a rich, complex game that will provide years of gameplay.
However, it's complexity and unique design provides a steep learning
curve. This tutorial will help new players get started with Dom2.

Installation of map and mod:
To use this tutorial, you must first copy the various tutorial
files to the right places. The tutorial includes the following pieces:
tutor1.dm (tutor1 mod programming)
tutor1 (directory)
tutor1/readme.1st (this file)
tutor1/lesson1.pdf (the first lesson)
tutor1/lesson2.pdf (the second lesson)
tutor1/tutor1icon.tga (tutor1 mod icon)
turor1/tutflag.tga (tutor1 mod banner)
tutor1/tutor1.tga (tutor1 map graphics)
tutor1/tutor1.map (tutor1 map programming)

The tutor1.dm file and the tutor1 directory (with it's contents) go
in the Dom2 mods directory. On my linux box, this is:
/home/miles/dominions2/mods

Next, the two map components:
/tutor1/tutor1.tga
/tutor1/tutor1.map
should be copied to the Dom2 map directory. On my linux box, they
end up at:
/usr/local/games/dominions2/maps/tutor1.tga
/usr/local/games/dominions2/maps/tutor1.map

Now, follow the instructions in lesson1.pdf

Subjects in Lesson 1: Beginning the game; Controlling mods; Combat
pretenders; Creating a game; Playing a game; Overview of map
screen; Saving/Restoring; Giving orders to units; Recruiting
new units; Generating the next turn; Reviewing the Messages;
Taking an enemy fortress; Victory by conquest.

Subjects in Lesson 2: Positioning units on the battlefield; Assigning
orders to units; Creating a Prophet; Constructing buildings;
Preaching; Dominion victory.
