    Its always nice to have something to read on the train journey back from the shop that you buy the game from. Although these days the internet delivery negates that need.
    One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

      Nah. Fallout style manual. You can lay it flat. We've been asking for a manual like that since SMAC.

            I'd say yes on priciple and because I like those fat manuals, the trouble is that it will be outdated by the time the game goes gold.
            Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                Foolish mortals. The days of the bound manuals is through.

                All hail the staple!

                  write it all on post-its and place them strategically in and around the box. That works.

                        A written manual would probably be outdated before the game is released, and become even more obsolete when the patches comes rolling in(hopefully). I suggest a well filled manual with info of the game and the background of civ/history and so on, and a little written introductiuon or something along that road.

                          That's so true! So, I suggest a manual consisting of a 3-ring binder with removable pages. That way, we can add/remove pages as each patch comes out!
