    wait a minute, this was a non-reserved off the shelf copy with spiral binding? that's cool, EB games listed that as a pre-order selling point

      Yeah, pretty lucky, I think. That or I just took away some poor SOB's pre-order box!

                by the way, what do you mean by "old school" stuff?

                  I just mean the box is full of extras: tech tree, keyboard shortcut, full manual, nice CD holder, extra CD just of the music, "Bible" box, etc. Like the old days, when the packaging itself gave you a reason to slow down and enjoy the process.

                  By comparison, many games now come out in super-thin packages with manual on PDFs, etc.

                    true, I just can't believe you got all that when I thought that stuff was meant for pre-order only.

                    But, yeah now that I think about it, that is all old, good tradition.

                          I'm actually just doing the tutorial (for kicks). And scanning stuff for others.

                              well, considering the types of game changes, the tutorial seems like a good place to start. Old school civers might have some old strategies destroyed it seems...
