Personally I think the profit sharing involved with the Prima guide had more to do with it than the size of the box.
The Prima Guide is crap as I have said elsewhere.

187 pages of which:

111 are dumbed down unit and building stats that contain less information than is available from the game itself.

The strategy map is such a small scale and so poorly printed thats its totally useless and illegible.

And the 45 so called guidance pages contain nothing which is not already obvious from the game manual.

Its a complete rip-off and I am serious thinking of taking it back.

If someone publishes a decent strategy guide I would be interested but this Prima thing is just a con-trick to get people to part with more money.
