You should be.

I am.

No, we can't give you a portion of the manual, but I will let you know that we have just given the formatted version back to Bruce for some addditons and proofing. Right now, the page count is 295! That is with TWO hundred and nintey-five.

That's some night time reading.

Just done a quick check on my pc games collection and I think the biggest manual ever medal goes to Dominions 3.

The closet one near it I have is civilizations IV at 224 pages.

This is one of the 2 things about Dominions that attracted me to the game, depth and lots of it.

Yeah the manual is going to be great but you know it will still only give you a small taste of the game. To do a "tips and strategy guide" like companies such as Prima do, would take a set of encyclopedias. One book for every nation, and more books for some of the multination strategies.

Personally, I'd be thrilled if people put together FAQs on the various nations with strategy ideas and then posted them out on gameFAQs and what-not. The more visibility and access we offer the game, the better it'll be for everyone involved.

They don't grin, though. That might make them devil meanies instead of smileys.

Hmm, that's pure marketing gizmo usually, but here I'd really like a Dom3 Pantokrator Edition

, with a troll-leather bound manual, a handful of gems, and if possible a blonde blood slave !

If you do do a sprial binding, please make it a BIG spiral. I just get soo annoyed when the pages get stuck on each other. I also like ring bindings, because you can flip the pages all the way around (it helps with the symmetry of the whole thing) but that is just an absurd idea,

I second that.

Well, if we do spiral binding, it will be small. The large binding is just too bulky (not to mention expensive in and of itself) to keep shipping costs low.

So would you rather have a small spiral or book binding?
