Game Manual

The tutorial from the demo will provide enough information for learning and playing the game. After 3 or 4 demo games you'll know whether or not you want to purchase the full game.

Sadly, I lost my manual (I've looked everywhere). I can't complain about the lack of a downloadable version because it just encourages piracy (the manual's really, really nice), but I do hope Illwinter will offer manuals for sale separately, although it's not a realistic hope.

The manual is nearly 300 pages, thick, with few pictures and lots of text explaining various game effects and listing the effects of various spells in more detail, giving stats of the summoned units and offering some insight into the details of e.g. what a unit has to do to break out of Earth Grip. I think it's too expensive to give away freely.

Hehe, I can just see it in my mind, and aeroplane spreading fliers.
Only instead of fliers, they're 300 page Dominions 3 manuals

I'd hate to have one fall on my head.

The manual alone is worth $55 US. The game is a bonus.

Yeah the manual is hot. And hopefully one day they will reprint it with all the typos/corrections and offer it forsale standalone, at least to people who bought the game.

Ved, there's only one edition of the game, with Mac, Windows, and Linux versions on the same disc. You don't have to order it from a Mac-specific store...
