I want it to ship with Sid Meier's autobiography...

A really thick manual with detailed how-to's, sketches of say some concept art, a little personal touch with insights on the game, them making it etc..., and just bascially all kinds of info in detail on the game Civ3.
Don't forget a good index, contact, info, etc.... kind of like the Civ 2 manual.
Oh and a poster would be nice. They say it's not needed since they have the tech tree in game. But I still want a poster of some kind.
A poster with all the units and their attributes
and/or
A poster with the tech tree.Comment

I want to see a thick manual that is spiral bound. So you can turn to a page and lay it down flat.
A nice little tech-tree poster as well

COOL BEANS!I want to see a thick manual that is spiral bound. So you can turn to a page and lay it down flat.
I really like this idea. It will especially come in handy should Firaxis print another tutorial in the manual.

I don't understand your statement. Micro Prose and now Firaxis has always been petty good with manuals and poster and the like.Originally posted by smellymummy
I hope Firaxis is going to be real nice and treat us to some good documentation this time around...Comment

Yeah, does anyone remember the Sid Meier's Gettysburg! manual that taught you how to play the game but at the same time looked and pretended to be a handbook for a soldier during the Civil War. I thought that was a nice authentic touch to the game. So I do expect Civ III to have excellent documentation.Originally posted by joseph1944

It will, it will. Especially if it's going to be so expensive. Is that true, about the price? 50 - 60 % That's one third of my scholarship!!!Comment

cmon, trdi, i thought slovenians were doing a tad better than that.
poster is a definitive winner. not just tech tree one but another 'cool' rock or no rock poster. plus a spiral-bound mammoth manual with all the number crunching trivia one can think of. this task alone will push release into Q3 2002.

It's quite some money, why? How high are scholarships in your country? (Which is ... ?) And we have much lower prices of most things. (Tobacco products are 3× cheaper than in UK, petrol is 2.5-3× cheaper ...), so don't talk bad about our economy!
About spiral book... a great idea, yes. And its gotta be huge - at least 4 kilos...

Is that SO low or what? £100-£150 / month is SO low? Well it was much higher last year, but much more students receive the cash. I would say at least 30% of students between 14 and 22 yrs. I' m quite satisfied with my student life. We have food allmost for free, we receive extra money for living, I pay less than 10% of my train ticket... I'm cool and I'm looking forward to my life. But if Civ is really going to be between 50 and 60 $ ??!! I should get a job on this game, too. I will receive CM 01/02 for free, 'cos I'm the researcher. And i have to buy MOO3, Capitalism, Gangsters, HOMM4,...

I would like to see a manual like that for CivII, and the tech tree poster is useful at times as well. We don't want too much detail in the manual though, as that would ruin all the fun for the hardcore crowd here at Apolyton
It would also giv Yin and the rest of us one less thing to complain about, and that can't be good."Pessimism: Every dark cloud has a silver lining, but lightning kills hundreds of people each year who are trying to find it." - demotivational poster

I got Civ2 from a friend and he didn't give me the manual or poster, but I found the in-game tutorial and civilopedia were enough to learn the ins and outs of the game. I don't expect Civ3 to be much different, and I would be content even if it shipped without a manual. I have better things to spend my money on."Proletarier aller Länder, vereinigt euch!" -- Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels

I allways prefer book over PC help.Comment

Good idea. This will also force them to push back the release and give them more time to polish and test.Originally posted by death_head

I also prefer a book to anything on PC. It's much easier to look stuff up in a book during a game, especially if the help isn't in-game.Last edited by Sabre2th; July 30, 2001, 12:29.Comment
