Well I'll be honest here the only thing that might have accelerated the game coming out was fans complaining about the game being delayed, or have you guys already forgotten

A more extensive manual would be nice but I still think not shipping with a bigger printed one is a good idea. The cost factor is definitely an issue but, also, wouldn't a printed manual based on the original gold code get a bit outdated after awhile?

The game is being tweaked and modified so much that I think a more flexible method of documentation is needed, i.e. electronic format. I'd love to see a printed manual/strategy guide some day but I think it'll have to wait until the dust has settled a bit more before it would have a shelflife long enough to pay for itself.

That being said, I still think the current electronic docs need some serious beefing up. I've not had any questions yet that haven't been answered here on the forum but that doesn't mean everybody has been so lucky.

I think the electronic distribution is a good idea but only if it is followed up. I can certainly understand giving it a lower priority than some of the major issues, such as the AI, which are currently being worked on, but is there any plan to flesh out the HTML manul later on?

Well known fact that Thread Necromancy is addictive. Next thing he'll be digging into the early archives of the Phongs head. Then he'll go "purist" and demand that we all only ever play with SE3. Then he'll declare that PC games are destroying the gaming world and revert to pen and paper with Starfire.

Do you really want to see that happen to a person the World WildLife Fund is going to designate as thier new poster beast?

Lol, my question was meant for Combat Wombat. You posted just before I did and I didn't see your post before I posted.
