I've just purchased the game, glad I found it!

I'll try it, thanks. I hope it's not a demo that ends too quickly.

The demo ends on turn40, only some spells are available and you're limited on the nations you can play. It's definitely enough to learn the basics of the game.

I noticed that Dominion 3 was "out of stock" when I ordered it, hopefully the shipment of the full version of 3 won't be too delayed.

The sooner you place your order the better because it places you closer to the front on the waiting list compared with another individual who orders the game 4 weeks from now.
Not sure why it's listed as 'out of stock' when ShrapnelGames has not even started making the CDs yets. The 'out of stock' statement will also have some customers not make a purchase.

I do think putting the manual online, monster database, etc. would be great, so if anyone knows of such let me know.

You won't find the manual online, but there's some helpful spreadsheets about the game.

Now that I've seen the cover art for Dominion 2 I'm kicking myself, I could have bought it a while ago at a store but didn't recognize it as the game I read the article about. I got Masters of Orion 3 instead. Bah.

I heard MoO_3 was a disappointment to most gamers. I almost bought the game luckily I waited and avoided this purchase.
