Default Re: Updated Manual?

It has not been updated, so it does not document all of the changes made via patches since the initial release (e.g. new nations.) Also, there are a number of technical inaccuracies (see other threads, including the FAQ at the top of this forum, and the "Lies my manual told me" thread.)

That said, it still gives a good overall "feel" for the game and in most cases it will be generally correct, even if the details differ slightly. I would say that for a game of this complexity, it does a great job.

Even if it was totally accurate, a lot of what's there really won't make sense until you try it; this game is one of those that take a few runs through before it "sinks in." The reward is worth it, however, IMO.
