Please CA, may we have a better manual?

Why do you need a manual when you have the ORG?

because everyone on org will be to busy playing the game to write anything?

Indeed; I certainly intend to be.

Note to self: Must remember to inform TosaInu I'm taking a leave of absence come February 3rd....

Hay! See! The Game is delayed! It is not too late to hope for improvement…especially for the SF Edition.

Somehow,with a multiplayer campaign map and bug fixes I doubt Game Manual came into thier minds. I might be surprise but at this rate we are lucky we get a video every 3 weeks.

I would not swear it, but one might reasonably expect that they have a technical writing staff that only works on things like that. Adding Multiplayer will surely require some rewrites, even if they send it out of house.

You would think so, but I've learned never to underestimate a game company's ability to release thinner and thinner manuals with less and less info. One would think they had a dedicated staff whose sole job it is to try and release sa little info as possible on how their game works.

Blind ignorance and experimenting to learn what works artificially extends gameplay by atleast a dozen or so hours

I think they all started taking a page from Microsoft’s book. Practically no documentation. You bought it but how it works is our secret!

I am sorry, but I remember the old days (circa 1985) the program came on one floppy disk but the manual weighed 3lbs.

I appreciate them saving trees, (since it is illegal to make paper from hemp*) but a little more information can be a good thing.

*not advocating this product as a drug. Industrial Hemp (grown by Jefferson and Washington) and later outlawed by money and lobbying efforts of the timber industry.
