Yeah the manual is good. And this is from someone who never uses manuals. Even to an experienced player it is still a valuable reference

The manual is very nice. I use it to plan my research based on the spells and items I want/need all the time. I can't eat a meal at home without reading something, so it's a common dinnertime piece of reading material. I also recommend Edi's spreadsheets to get info on sites, the expansion nations, etc, that are not in the manual.

Its also nicer than most manuals, having a fairly solid cover and being ring-bound.

The guy that put it together is Bruce Geryk.
But much of the material was a collaboration of everyone in the beta test group which includes the developers and a number of people that have answered in this thread.

Heh, I just yesterday read a proposed tactic for MA Jotunheim from the manual's nations chapter, and thought that the proposition had Gandalf Parker written all over it, with the flood gate analogy and all.

Bruce Geryk at least used to post here every now and then, I don't remember his nick anymore though.

He posted some weeks ago and said that he's going to correct the mistakes in the current manual for a new print run, didn't he?
