IN name only ? Better manual

[hoppy39000]

I've been around a lonng time played every civ, moo gm But this 1 is way off the mark..... Or i'm missing something Both the box manual, and the prima 1 give you strategies... But niether clearly explains the interfaces..or any type of tutorial. It seems very over lapping and boring...the only thing i find familiar in the game are the NAMES ...Watching planets move between turns , vs watching your ships move in moo 2 or enemy moves and battles in civ Come on...also for some reason i seem not to be able to see any build ques for planetary dev... and starlanes...hmm after you reach a few planets all i can see crisscross lines or if i zoom no system names only an aggravating task foce popup... Wheres the simple graphicall interface we used in civs 1,2,3 and moo 1,2 ?? the only thing that seems "fleshed out is the council

I like building my 1st colony from scratch not a click fest of turns while the ai decides what happens...anyway I'm sure theres a great game in here somewhere, any advice as to where ? or how to get a better instuctional manual, or help info would be helpful ?????????

i usually develop my first planets on my own. just disable planet econ AI and the AI wont touch your planet to a large extent

People blame about my spelling and grammer but the manual written doesnot tell you anything inportant you need. The manual was printed ayear before the release of the game and after the manual was printed their make than almost total remake of the game. They could have reprint than entire new manual before releaseing the game.
