Bug with Manual

August 28, 2006 9:45 AM from

This isn't a game bug. It's a bug with the manual. Half of the pages are duplicated, so I'm missing about 50% of the manual due to printing/binding errors. I can't find a PDF of the manual online for me to print. Where can I get an updated copy of the manual?

There is a pdf version of the manual in the game's directory (and a button for it in the launcher). In any case the manual has not been changed since it went to print, so you may be better off reading through the official wiki or just asking whatever questions you may have here.

Actually...the manual itself is a bug! It was already outdated with numerous errors with ver 1.0, and only got worse with follow-on patches that added more game features and tweaked existing game features.

Not that I'm complaining about the patches (love them in fact), but it would have been nice to also patch the manual to keep it up to date. With each patch, perhaps 10-20 man-hours of effort would have kept the manual pretty much up to date. I guess that was a business decision on the part of Stardock not to update the manual and rely on the wiki.
