IMHO this game does need some sort of manual, or at least a more comprehensive readme shipped with it and rather obvious, I first played EB in the 0.7 days and gave up on it (I hadn't activated script etc etc ).
Anyway my point is I didn't find out a lot of the essential stuff for EB until I tried it again in the 0.8 stage, and now having internet at home I was able to search a little wider (and found these forums).
Thing to remember is for maybe 75% of the people who are going to download EB, they're not going to go "Oooh, I better go search around the forums for this game and stuff first", they just play, and if they get stuck first port of call is documentation with the release.
Anyway I really do think some sort of documentation would help EB perhaps find a slightly larger audience, without having to risk any "dumbing down" or anything like that.
I'll also add that if others think this is a good idea I would be happy to contribute whatever I can.

Cheers
