any manual around yet?

hi there

i'm not really good in figuring out a games mechanics while playing, so there are several things i'm not sure about. some kind of manual/general infos would be nice - does something like that exist yet?

what i'm interested in particularly are detailed informations about:

how, when and which skills scale (with your level, i'd presume? especially the attributes skill - it seems, the bonus is rather small, so i figured, it might scale)
how to make money and how much do you get with the different possibilities
complete skill/upgrade-trees to look at while not playing (during the hectic game i don't have time to read everything carefully *g* and it'd be nice to know what your enemies can do)
flags: list of and what they are for (the not so obvious ones)
how does armor work exactly (whats better - 100 armor or 500 hitpoints more, and so on)
permanent items: are they always the same (as opposed to the item shop, which varies, i think), can I reset a demigod (selling is not possible, it says - but maybe resetting and redoing the achievments?) and how to buy a new item if you already have one? (how to open the shop again *g*)
some kind of tactics/strategies for beginners, general as well as for the different demigods themselves (ok, i've figured out some things, but the first battle was rather.. strange.. for me at least.. i picked a general without knowing what to do with him, so I ended up with never buing any minions and dying a LOT *g* ok, now i've learned, but for others such infos might help a lot to get the game started)
do the priest-grunts heal demigods or only other grunts? (if they do, it might be reasonably to protect them)
if NOT all shortcuts are listed in the settings: the additional keyboard shortcuts and their use

well, thats all i can think of for the moment. if you have some answers, i'd happily compile them, for others to find and read them easier instead of searching the forum for hints

thanks for all replies

I'm starting to write it during the holidays. I plan to post drafts of it here for comment by beta testers.

1) I'm not sure what you mean here. As far as I know, spells only get stronger when you "buy" the next level of that spell.

2) I don't know exactly how much but you get gold for controlling flags with gold mines (this gives a steady income) and from killing enemy units/Demigods.

5) [2500 / (2500 + armor)] * 100 = the percent of damage you take from normal attacks

6) "Permanent" items don't exist right now; you have to re-buy them every game. As far as I know, all items are the same for all Demigods on all maps. You can get a different achievement item every game right now

8) They heal Demigods; I don't know if they heal normal units.

frogboy: cool! thanks for answering so quickly. i think it would really help - because now, you first have to figure out how to play the game, before you can even consider doing real betatesting (if i know what to expect, its easier to find out if something doesnt work right)

gnats3: thank you too

1. well, i just thought they should scale. i thought, offensive spells should make more damage if my demigod is an allmighty lvl 25, compared to the feeble lvl1 demigod. but thats just my assumption, i didn't even think about the skill values being fixed the attributes bonus is rather weak - does it even make sense, in that case?

2. i guess, the mines have a fixed gold/second income (maybe 2 per mine) which can be upgraded to +2, +4, +6 per mine, so 2 mines highest lvl will probably generate about 16 gold per second.. just an assumption, i havent actually counted

5. ah, that makes sense. scales rather good (made a few testcase calculations. getting below 50% will be quite hard *g*)

6. great, makes it easier to test them and their value

8. do you know for how much they heal?

I think priests heal 10% of a Demigod's total health.
