Thank you, these kind of PDFs, searchable, bookmarked, etc. are pretty much standard for our releases.
Nothing worse then a PDF that is just a quick render without any of the nice functionality of PDFs.

This game is also sold at Gamer's Gate. Is the Matrixgames manual different than the on at GG?

OK, thanks. That's what I figured but the mod made it sound like Matrixgames was taking credit for the great manual when YOU should be getting the credit.

Well, the script writing part was done in a combined effort between Wastelands Interactive and Matrix, not by me.
Layout, functionality and PDF rendering etc. was done by Matrix, namely me.
But that's all noted in the Credits section of the manual anyway [;)]

I don't have the game so didn't know that. Just noticed it was for sale at GG too so didn't think Matrixgames had anything to do with the production of the game. Sorry, my mistake. From what I hear, you did a bang up job on the manual.

Actually, GG is another distribution channel in this case. Wastelands Interactive are the developers and we are the primary publisher.

Gamersgate.com. Download service like Matrix (Digital River). The advantage is you can download your game as many times as you like for as long as they are around for no additional fee.

Not to be picky or anything, but while the manual is very well organised some screenshots included are too small, making the letters/numbers inside very hard to read... Is there any chance that a version with higher resolution images will be released at some point in the future?

And one more thing about the manual, section Alliance Entry ends with a bunch of questions... surely one would rather expect answers from the manual.
Plus there is a wrong table at the bottom of the page 73 , and some errors in the diagram (too many Pro-Axis) on the page 69. And in the section 16.0 a section 16.1 is mentioned while in fact it does not exist.
