Sire,
i really love this game. I paid 60$ to get it to Germany. I will pay for a well printed manual again a lot of bucks. Why not by Primagames ? No Pirate would like to buy a printed Strategy Guide and Game Manual, only YOUR CUSTOMERS. (Read the Mails carefully, we love the Company, the Game, YOUR WORK. But HELP us with a Solution.)
Thanks, Georg Korch.

Okay here goes...
The problem is posting a PDF or the html manual just encourages pirates. I spend a large segment of my time hunting down and trying to take down sites that pirate our games. In fact, more than larger publishers, pirating is something that kills us small fish publishers.
That being said if you wish to make a pdf for your personal use by all means do so. But posting it is a violation of copywirght law.
We wish it didn't have to be that way, but to do otherwise will just encourage pirates and take money out of Malfador's and our pockets. If it were up to us we would allow this, but because some folks seem to think stealing sofwtare is legitimate we cannot do that currently.
We could not originally include the large manual, simply because we had a set price and adding the manual would have meant the price going up (which isn't fair to the pre-order folks) or cutting our profits and Malfador's in half.
One other option we are considering is printing the full manual and offering it for 7.95 from our website. This cost would ONLY cover our printing costs and would not represent profit to us, but it might be an option for some of you. If we here enough support for that we might just do it.
