Printed Manual

Post by AZKGungHo »

Sorry to be so dense, but I'm not clear on whether a printed manual comes with the physical shipment or not.

If it does then I'd probably order it, if not then I won't.

Please help an ignorant gamer![&:]

Since this series of games (Battlefront, BoI, BoN) relies heavily on so many varied colors, isn't a black and white printed manual kind of hard to understand? The PDF manual is probably in full color and looks very nice. I can just imagine trying to disseminate through all the B&W images of buttons among other images as the different colors portray different modes of information.

Am I wrong? [&:]

No...black and white does make it difficult to notice the colour[:'(]

However, on the bits I've come across where colour is important, it does say...

As an example:
When describing the Movement cursor it doesn't simply say "The movement cursor looks like this ... ... and it means it's a valid move"
It does say, however,
"Running Soldier with Green Outline (with black and white picture) This is the movement cursor."

So it does make it clear what colour is involved.

How it goes all the way through the manual, I don't know...but yes, a colour manual would've been better.

Then if I bought the game, I would buy just the download and print the PDF out. That answers that. Thank you sir! [&o]

Well, tbh the PDF is much easier to read...but I do like a printed manual.
