I'm not saying a wiki is a bad idea (I thought we already had one actually but there you go nvm hehe) but its applications beyond submissions of work or simple reference I'm not sure about, I don't think it fits to the objective of a game "manual".
Cheers

What it does is make the document easier to edit between multiple people who want to participate in the project. Basically it will work the same way as I had it setup (me uploading drafts to rapidshare, posting here and accepting corrections and submissions through email, and discussions taking place here) just easier so I don't have to be constantly uploading and checking my email, it also makes it easier for us to discuss versions of a section. This will allow us to get the text of the document completed. Once we have all the sections completed, I will take it and convert it to a document (.doc) and .pdf, along with additional graphics, table of contents, and credits. I hope the wiki will allow us to collaborate better and faster.

i wrote the battle section for the manual- but not the fatigue part- is there any difference with regards to that between RTW & EB?

Okay then, sounds good to me.

On behalf of the team I want to thank you for your work and commitment.
Keep up the great work.

Yeah good idea. A couple of idea's:
You may want some section about Client Rulers;
You may want some section about the Recruitment Viewer;
You may want to replace low with high in conjunction with the velocity of sling bullets: right now that sentence makes no sense.

Can't we just mention it once? Hey want the damn advisor to leave you alone, press the "show me how button." If people can't follow the instructions in game, they aren't going to follow them outside of it.

I was checking what's been done till now and I saw this:

Getai Thracian/Dacian tribe(?) Thrace/Dacia(?)

the Getai are a Dacian tribe (and the Dacians are closely related to Thracians, infact they are sometimes called north danube thracians) and as a RTW eqquivalent, it would be Dacia+Thrace.

But they will come and complain asking about missed Marian reforms...

And on that note you might want to include a general article about the Modesty Patch, and the various lighting files you can choose... And about naked soldiers in general, but Gaesatae/Tindanotae in particular.

I was exaggerating. But there are so many people whining about bugs that are not really bugs and they all turn out to have left the script unloaded.

Points well taken. Though the recruitment viewer is already planned in the appendix.
