How many pages is the manual and in what format?

Bump.

[EisenHammer]

It's most likely a PDF manual.

[drillerman]

Surely there is no harm in releasing the manual. It may even cement a few extra sales[:D]

[RViener]

I guess I wasn"t clear enough. I just wanted an idea of how many pages were in the manual. Seeing as I usually print it out or get it printed. Armada 2526 has 48 half pages. I appreciate large detailed manuals.
Thanks in advance,
Bob Viener

I firmly believe that real men never read manuals. [:D]

Only 72 pages. Cool, I was expecting at least 1500. Hmm or is that 72 pages with font size set to 4? [;)]

[wozza]

So there is no hard copy manual. I always prefer the hard copy.

No the common man doesn't read a manual, real men red it cause its way more rare

Gotta save those trees, I'm glad it's PDF!

[EisenHammer]

Screw the trees!!! give me a manual!!!

We need to save the digital cybernetic trees.  Back in the days,  the games that brought 200+ pages manuals.

Manuals in the good old days were amazing, games that come to mind include Ultima 7 from Origin, I mean RPGs would come with a manual, a hintbook, a logbook etc, all sorts of awesomely detailed stuff.

I know some that even came with their own 'novels' etc set in the game universe.

Ah, shame those days are gone.

[Darthcaboose]

Out, out damned manuals!

What with games being heavily tutorialized or 'tip'ed or 'hint'ed out the wazzo, I think we are well past manuals (in an offline, paper version at least).

[Wade1000]

Many old time games were vey complex using many keyboard commands. Some were of a time when tutorials were not refined or common. Some were in a time when the internet was not widely popular/available to provide information via forums and other information sites. Some were of a time when CD's were not available to fit digital manuals onto.
 
Yeah, I enjoyed laying back and looking through some of those manuals. I suppose we could still enjoy using our fancy color printers to make the manuals ourselves now.

"Screw the trees"? Tut tut. The trees are already screwed thanks to unnecessary paper usage like manuals for games!! I'd rather learn about the game IN-game...the galactopedia looks concise and thorough.

....although I did used to like flicking through the chunky manuals of old, especially when there are those immersive little stories...[:)]

[Gargantou]

Personally I these days far prefer digital manuals over 'physical' ones, my living space is cramped up enough with my console games and DVDs, I don't need even more physical stuff to add to that.

Thank God that pretty much all PC games these days are released via digital delivery systems as well, otherwise I would have to move to a bigger apartment.[:D]

Will the manual be print friendly?
