It has 100 pages, 93 of which are actually information.
It's also very small, with small type.

Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust! -
And is everything explained in such a short manual for presumably such a complex game, or is it rather like the SMAC or Civ3 manual where many basics of the game are not explained, making it difficult for the beginner?
In the meawhile I'll start looking for a magnifying glass.

EU2 also has a tutorial. I HIGHLY recommend playing through all the tutorials. It helps explain the manual quite a bit.Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!Comment

Thanks, I'll do that. I'll probably buy the game Monday. I can't wait.

Oh yes, probably the Benelux version comes with 1.04. So need to worry about patches!Comment

EU2's manual is at least better than Civ3's one IMO. It's crammed with information. And the few pages that don't tell anything about gameplay are filled with huge lists of beta testers.Originally posted by M@ni@c

"As far as general advice on mod-making: Go slow as far as adding new things to the game until you have the basic game all smoothed out ... Make sure the things you change are really imbalances and not just something that doesn't fit with your particular style of play." - WesWComment

Once you've played the tutorial and read the manual there's a nice big forum full of 95% friendly users ready to give you advice.
Some of the historical events can sound kind of stupid if you have strayed too far from your historical position but that is understandable. The scripting is far superior to Eu1 and there are lots of dedicated fans improving them all the time. Its one of the major advantages for having clear text files and a scripting language.To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

Yes, I've already visited the official forums and plan to register once I've read the 68! page manual. I've got lots of questions, and a complaint! Confucianism is on all fronts worse than eg Buddhism. Not fair or fun I think. And since when is Japan Confucianist?? I thought it was Zen Buddhism or something like that.Comment

Certainly read the manual first, despite its limitations.
Just be aware that there have been several patches/changes since its publication. In religion, for example, most of what you read in the manual has been tweaked. IIRC, the difference, currently between Buddhism and Confucianism is minor (but the latter is still slightly worse).
Look in the religion.csv file in the /Db directory for a matrix of current religion modifiers.Comment

Ok, my current opinions about religion are based upon the FAQ thread in the EU forums. I'll check if they are still up to date.Comment
