Default another noob question...

Hi all! I'm kinda new to this forum. I followed it for some time but this is my first post!
I picked up the Dom3 demo some months ago and really enjoyed it. Some weeks earlier I wanted a new TBS to spend hours on so I picked up the full game.
I like what I've seen from the game so far but I got a small question. Whenever I start a new game, my enemies manage to gather huge armies and march straight at me. I loose in a couple of turns! Any advice? I lost my manual (can't seem to find that (censored) thing anywhere) so I can't get any help from there.....

You lost your manual? How do you want to install the game in future. This "(censored) thing" contains your cd key.

Sorry but i can't believe how people 'lost' their manual.

Turn the independents higher when you create the game.
And make the map larger.

Yeah it is rather alarming the number of people who "lost thier manual" in the past month or so. I was willing to give the first few the benefit of the doubt. Not any more tho.

The "lost manual" gimmick got old a long while ago. The Dom2 manual was actually small enough that it could get lost in a pile of papers or so and I had to hunt for mine a few times on my desk, but actually permanently losing stuff like that, which contain the CD keys? Yeah, right.

It's a bit different if somebody has been around for a long time and contributed a lot and then for some reason lost it (e.g. a fire or kids accidentally destroying things or moving). Then I generally would take them at their word, but new people who claim losing it right off the bat? They can sod off.

No really guys, I lost it. It will eventually turn up somewhere. I've had the game for some weeks actually,so if I've only had it for like one day then you could tell me to "sod off". I'm not asking anyone for CD-keys here just for some help.

I lose my manual daily, since I'm always taking it with me to random places in the house. I'm like "what paths do I need for the Moonvine Bracelet again?" in the middle of folding laundry and then it's 12 hours before I find it again.

The content of "I lost my manual" aside, this post looks somewhat similar to this post.
