Re: SE:V Manual Released
o.O
Same number of pages as the Dominions 3 manual. Only it looks like it's on letter sized pages instead of half-letter. But a lot of it seems to be empty space and some screenshots of dubious merit (like adding in all the weapon component pictures, etc). Definitely looks better than the SEIV and Starfury manuals though. I'll reserve full judgement for when I receive my copy of the game and go over it in more detail. Somehow I don't think it's gonna ship with a hardcopy manual...

Re: SE:V Manual Released
A newbie Steam question:
If I buy the game on Steam (which I will have to do as cannot be sent the boxed item it seems (or at least cannot wait for it... (to many '()'))), can I still play if I unregister from Steam ?

Re: SE:V Manual Released
Hmm the copy I got seems to be garbled. I've tried re-downloading and I still get a garbled pdf. Strange.

Re: SE:V Manual Released
No, you have to maintain a steam account. You might be able to keep playing the game, but you will definitely be unable to reinstall or patch it in the future without an active Steam account. Note that there are other downloadable versions of the game that do not use Steam, such as the one offered directly by S1st. The SE4 downloadables tended to be flakier than the Steam version though.

Re: SE:V Manual Released
Erf.
In case I would have a friend in NY, and in case that friend could be made visiting me after the 16th, and in case I would like to ask that friend to bring me a gift, in which shop should I advise him to go to get a boxed SE5 ?  |

Re: SE:V Manual Released
I hate electronic manuals. Give me a paper manual and I will play the game.

Re: SE:V Manual Released
that whole derivative works part makes the statement "This game is hightly Mod friendly" that is printed on the box a little dubious.
