Was the manual updated for 1.70?

[Hairog]

I'm having trouble finding the new rules in the manual. Was it updated? If not where can we get the new one or at least what the changes are.

[Harbinger]

No, the manual has not been updated for any of the patches. Check your files for the Readme.txt for changes in the 1.70 patch.

[Hairog]

Thank you. I don't recall a readme but I will look for it.

[Hairog]

No readme on my download. Did I miss a post or something? How can you have a patch with major rule changes and have no documentation? Anyone else having this problem?

It's better but I think there are some significant rules changes that aren't explained here.

Thank you again.
