Old TOAW paper manuals?

[henri511]

I have 3 paper manuals from old TOAW games (the original, GOTY and TOAW II). Are there many significant differences between GOTY and the pdf manual of TOAW3? It's easier to read a paper manual. I did notice that the Korea tutorial is practically identical. And where are the instructions for the two other tutorials? The tutorial manual only has instructions for Korea.

There's a 'What's New' (a readme) off the main menu that talks about the major difference.

There are substantial differences between the TOAW III manual and earlier versions of TOAW. I do share your opinion that it is easier to *read* paper, as opposed to a computer screen, but the great advantage of an electronic form is the ease of searching for terms. You can, of course, always print out the manual, and it is quite readable, when printed with a modern laser printer.

The Korea tutorial was, in fact, recreated from the TOAW I version, since it illustrates basic concepts that are core to the game design. The instructions for each of the tutorials are accessed by clicking on the documentation button, before you start the scenario.
