Refresh fever

JaydedOne · #1 September 6th, 2006, 11:00 PM

It's absolutely crazy how often I'm refreshing the forums page, looking for the latest tidbit on the game. Y'all are driving me crazy.

I don't suppose there's any chance we can get a portion of Bruce's manual or some other form of tide-me-over from IW/Shrapnel prior to launch? This is a killer.

No, we can't give you a portion of the manual, but I will let you know that we have just given the formatted version back to Bruce for some addditons and proofing. Right now, the page count is 295! That is with TWO hundred and nintey-five.

Oooh, neat. That manual is bigger than some books.

Could you please LMK if the full 'tables of units & equipments' are included in the manual for evry nations ? I'm preparing to update the excel unitattributes file

All summonable units have their stats listed in the manual, but not equipment and regular recruitable units. That would take many additional pages

So you'll need to update your lists and make lists for about 60 nations.

Actually, yes

. I'm very impressed by Bruce's work and I'm very happy that he did the manual and not us or someone else. Compared to the Dom2 manual it is a MAJOR improvement IMHO. I'm almost willing to say I would buy the game for the manual itself, but I might be biased

IMHO the Doms 2. manual was very good also.

That's awesome, because your original estimate was about 220 pages. I told Bruce I was looking forward to his manual almost as much as the game itself!

You should be.
