Default Re: Future manual?

Your manual barely covers anything. The common responce to most topics is see CDrom. I don't think that is acceptible for a product that I pay good money for. Also it's very vague on most topics it covers. The cdrom information also isn't very detailed and poorly organized. If you played the game before it's probably no problem. For me it's a pain. I referenced Master of Orion 2 or Civilization 2 as excellent examples of how a manual should be done. What was printed appears to be a Last minute rushed effort.

Now the game is great. But I would like to see better documentation. If it costs $5 more I'll pay it. But let's be honest the manual was very poorly done. True I'd rather have more effort in the game and it shows. But to sell to a broader audience I suggest better organized material. How about a printed tech tree chart too. Both MOO2 and Civ2 have this.
