Another interesting fact: We don't have real physics for every single occurance, but I'm planning on adding weapon's collision: If a weapon hits a tree, a mountain or a wall, it will hit the object and not continue towards its target, although since flying units are high enough, this does not apply to air-to-air weapons

Lacking anything else to work on, I started the S.A.D. manual.  I can safely say that it sure is a lot of fun designing reasons that the vessels do what they do, as well as writing the history for them.  You'll find there's a little bit more history for each vessel than the Starcraft manual provides, although it's probably because I have only nine vessels and the Starcraft manual had to shorten information for many, many more units.

Get back to work!

j/k :P

It's good that the manual is detailled, though. just make sure for those who hate long texts that the game can be explained to them in a quick way (that can be understood by someone who played RTSes before). :)

@DJ Good point.  I should probably include a "quick start" for those who want just the game and not the history.

What I'll end up doing is providing a list at the beginning of the manual, describing each of the sections and who should read it.  For instance, there will be a "Units: Quick Start" section and a Standard Units section, and in the list, I'll say that the Quick Start is for those who want to play without trying to understand everything (or need a quick reference to refer to), and the Units section is for those who want the details.

There's going to be about 9-12 sections in the manual, so those who don't read this list will most likely end up reading more than they want to.

I would definitely be the one who will read the manual from front to back. I just love the new universe, the story behind games, etc.

Spoiler For funny life mathematics:
1. ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
*Girls=Evil credit goes to Compynerd255*

Also require people to type a security code before running the game that can be found somewhere near the end of all essential info needed to play the game in the readme :P, that way it forces people to at least read the readme and now spam authors with alerady awnsered questions :P

(Metroid II Expansion and Zelda Dark Link Quest have this :P)

Cooliojazz and Silver Shadow, feel free to add the "S.A.D. development team" userbar to your signatures.  It's not required, but if you want to add it, be my guest.
