New Project: a Player Guide: basic and expert!

[liga]

Wow ... a lot of idea and collaborations ... about the wiki it could be nice, I could try to read how to do it and try when I'll be back.

At the moment (during my holidays) I'll try to write something, about some of the rules and after that I'll post it to everyone would like to partecipate in the projct, just to have an idea of what I'm trying to do ... I'll let out all the sections concerning strategies (taht I hope you could fill) becouse I'm not really a good player and I think my strategies are not the best!

thank you and send me as much as you can by email at liga(AT)treemme(DOT)org so I know what there is to do and what is already done!

good play to all

Great idea guys! Thanks for working on this. I'm looking forward to the conclusion of Boron's "domes/strategic attacks" guide as well.

Thanks in advance, and keep us posted on how it's going and display your working copies once in awhile.

Thx,
John

I'm starting writing down the structure of teh guide ... since it must be, at first, a newbies help, I'm thinking about organize it in section like the game menus ... so:

Part 1: The Game

1. Creating a God

2. Creating a Gmae

3. Playing a Game
-3.1 The top right Menu (I have to find something better)
-3.2 The mid right menu (I have to find something better)
--3.2.1 Province Info
--3.2.2 Army Setup
--3.2.3 Mercenary
--3.2.4 Recruting Units
-3.3 Buildings and Magic Sites
-3.4 Province Description
--3.4.1 Nation Details
---3.4.1.1 Tresury
---3.4.1.2 Income
---3.4.1.3 Upkeep
--3.4.2 Province Details
---3.4.1.1 Population
---3.4.1.2 Income and Resources
---3.4.1.3 Unrest
---3.4.1.4 Taxes
---3.4.1.5 Supplies
---3.4.1.6 Corpes
---3.4.1.7 Dominion
--3.4.3 Province defence
-3.5 Leader and Units
-3.6 Processing the Turn

4. Network Games

5. Preference

I skip map edit

Part 2: Details

1. Races and Themes

2. Pretenders (I'm not really sure about that)

3. Dominion (using most of the nice Ceremony work)

4. Battles

...

It still under work but I think in that way coule be easy to find the informations

I'd like to help contribute, if that would be helpful. I would be particularly interested in
- contributing information for "newbie" orientation ("from newbies to newbies")
- helping to tweak some language usage if the need for a native speaker should rear its head

great idea liga!

This is a great project Liga !!!

I've looked at the screenshots, and perhaps it's not a good idea to use non-standard skins/flags ?
It might very well confuse a newbie if the graphics doesn't corresponde EXACTLY to the standard out-of-the-box Illwinter look.

And I hope that Kristoffer will share some of his thoughts on the history of the dom2 world. By the way, is there a map that reflects the "original" dom2 world with all the nations in the "proper" places etc ?
