Let me know how I could help you in realizing this guide ...

bye bye

two small questions to your manual addendum :

number one :
7.2. expierience :

All units, except mindless ones, get:

1 exp per turn
+1 exp for participating in a battle
+3 exp for winning a battle
+1 exp for hitting enemy

is that really for hitting ? i miss xp for killing something if that is true .

number two :

according to the expierience chart you get -1 encumberance as a bonus for reaching xp lvl 4 .

a moloch e.g. has base encumberance 1 .
does that mean that he gets + 1 reinvigoration or does base encumberance drop to 0 and he can't fatigue in melee like vq / pod etc. ?

Yes. A unit can get quite a lot of experience in just one battle, if it does a lot of fighting (scoring hits).

chapter 8.4.4. blood hunt :

you should add that SDR counts +1 blood level for blood hunting purposes since 2.12 .

You can't blood hunt in sea provinces, I think.

afaik it is now a fact that you can't blood hunt in sea provinces . so the i think is no longer needed

strange .
in every rpg i know you only get xp for KILLING units not hitting them .
just look at diablo 2 e.g.
if you hit baal 1 million times with fists for fun but don't kill him you still get no exp.

so really amazed that dominions should be the only fantasy game so far where this is not the case .
afaik no other fantasy game rewards you for just hitting someone and not killing him.
seems like a logical bug
did the developers say that or is there perhaps any kind of misunderstanding fault in it ?

really amazed if this is really true

Speaking of...

I've actually been writing a .. not a newbie-guide per se. Cause there are a couple of good tutorials that explain game basics. But what I consider a mid-level strategy guide. It covers some of the nuances of the game which are not apparent to a newer player. Take a look at tell me what you think:

http://benatar.snurgle.org:8080/~quinn/guide.html

Obviously still a work in progress. Comments are welcome and appreciated!
