See, that is a good idea and other games have used it.

It is perfectly acceptable to have a PDF or even some uglish Excel file cleaned up with some spacing with all the units, items, and spells.

There was talk before the release about a tutorial/quick-start on the forums, but it was too late and the game was already to CD and package generation and printing done.

For the future though, I'd hope that IW would follow that path.

Maybe it is those who didn't already play Dom1 that found the manual decent; because even though I had skimmed the PDF of the Dom1 manual it was of quite a bit of help nailing things down.

In the end; I was happier about having an early(!) release as opposed to the UBER manual.
