Re: Small suggestions for the next patch
If you have ever seen the writing styles of the developers, you might change your mind asking for in-game help. Johan, the programmer, tends to know the game too deeply and answer questions using very few words. The results are not all that helpful. Kristoffer, the designer, writes most of the test that you see in the game. Its great role-playing storyline stuff but maybe abit much for a help file.
The best documentation and manuals have been done by players all thru Dominions. And I think for most games. The developers are just too deep to think like newbies. Maybe a way to access an external help database from inside the game (the way many of the Windows programs do) so that the help file could be bamintained by users. But that seems like alot of overhead to add to a game that already allows shelling out pretty easily so you can access player-created help files now.
