When playing Civ3 for at least the first week or so, I'll be too exhausted from lack of sleep to actually have time to read when I hit the bed. However, there are the times when you have to perform a certain bodily function...Comment

Big fat manual, like they shipped with CivI & II with info on the game, but also a lesson in history

I don't want a gaming company to provide me with a manual full of historical information, they should not waste time and focus on what they know best - the game. If I want to read about history there are plenty of other (better) alternatives.Big fat manual, like they shipped with CivI & II with info on the game, but also a lesson in history
It's like expecting info on directing movies in the user manual of a dvd-player.Somebody told me I should get a signature.Comment

That is also what I dislike in the weekly update on the civ3 website. It gives you hardly any info on the game and a lot of historical background, which I knew already anyway or could have obtained from other sources!

Civilization is a game of history. Without any background info on the history of the world, the game would be very shallow. Merely a matter of hitpoints and squares. No fun.Originally posted by Mannamagnus

I seriously doubt that the AI programmers and graphics designers would be involved in writing the manual. Every person knows his/her place, and they have dedicated people doing this. If you don't like the idea of background info in the manual, you must hate the CivI and CivII manuals.To be one with the Universe is to be very lonely - John Doe - DatalinksComment

I think big juicy manuals with lots of information and data are the thing to include with the game like in previous incarnations of the game. And of course the history in it, and how the game works around this. Civ has always been good for this kind of stuff, SMAC and Civ2 were exemplary for good manuals...Speaking of Erith:

I'd bet a copy of civ3 the actual manual, to the extent there is a manual (as opposed to a strategy guide for sale separately) will be a .pdf and not paper. The bit of paper included will probably explain installation and keyboard shortcuts.
If you want a big chunky waste-o-tree, then buy the effing strategy guide, chumps.Comment

DVD Box?
Does anyone know if the game will be shipped in a dvd box here in europe? Because that would mean a booklet instead of a manual. I hope for a normal box.
Not that i don't like DVD boxes. My room is really stuffed with big game boxes and those games in DVD cases just take up 1 cm of space in the bookshelf.Comment

Agree with Mister Pleasant.
I'd love to have a detailed manual with historic background. A 'juicy' one. But as pdf file. Save trees!!!Comment
