- | Here is a place to list things needed | + | This guide started in January 2020 as one of the earliest pages on the wiki. I (Maerlande) frankly forgot all about it but have since been prompted to start it up again. |
+ | |||
+ | My purpose for this page is to provide a first stop for someone who has just bought the game. I was working with some goals: | ||
+ | - avoid all jargon, acronyms or shorthand language | ||
+ | - be sure to discuss each feature or even each click you make when starting play | ||
+ | - minimize opinion and make this generic information | ||
+ | - use a structure that this page is limited to basic information but freely link pages with more depth. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For a structure, I was literally starting up Dominions 5 with no mods loaded and the bare game. And the writing each step down as I made it. I think that' | ||
+ | |||
+ | It would be very helpful if any new players put questions here so they can be added to the outline and answered. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Suggestions: | ||
+ | |||
+ | I think it would be useful to mention the map filters and nation summary menus, even if just to let new players know to press ? so they can see the options. They are extremely helpful and not obvious. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Talk about Gems, you probably want to include the basics of site searching and casting rituals, maybe crafting and combat spells as well. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Talk about Buildings, how to make them and what they do, you mention laboratories for research but that's it so far. |
