Default Refresh fever

It's absolutely crazy how often I'm refreshing the forums page, looking for the latest tidbit on the game. Y'all are driving me crazy.

I don't suppose there's any chance we can get a portion of Bruce's manual or some other form of tide-me-over from IW/Shrapnel prior to launch? This is a killer.

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.

All summonable units have their stats listed in the manual, but not equipment and regular recruitable units. That would take many additional pages

So you'll need to update your lists and make lists for about 60 nations.

Actually, yes . I'm very impressed by Bruce's work and I'm very happy that he did the manual and not us or someone else. Compared to the Dom2 manual it is a MAJOR improvement IMHO. I'm almost willing to say I would buy the game for the manual itself, but I might be biased

IMHO the Doms 2. manual was very good also.

Stupid question - is the manual bound or spiral bound?

[EDIT] And I am refreshing the forums page excessively myself.

You people dont have auto-refresh capability?

Or setup Linux to do a GET of the page and then diff it mailing you the results if !0

Hmmm there is an autocheck and mail thing like that in Windows also but I forget how to do it. I could track it sinde I have the Illwinter page on autoreport by the windows method
