The Manual

[PhilThib]

Here is now the final version of the large manual, covering ALL sections 1-31 of the rules, and Appendices.

It is in US A4 format, Low-res PDF to be uploadable here and read from your PC. The high res version for print will come later on, once the last graphical and layout adjustments are made.

Please do not hesitate to report in this thread any inconsistancy you could find, so we can improve our work.

I'd like particularly to thanks Mark and Martin for their help in proofreading and layout. Without them, I'd be still in the middle of it

Arne: will you agree to play with me bia PBEM? t

[Rafiki]

Uhm, this game doesn't have PBEM?

Apart from that, I'm afraid I have little time to devote to PBEM, but I appreciate being asked

The winzip file doesn't appear to be openable.

[Rafiki]

No problems opening it here. Could it be a corruption during download?

Could be, but I've tried downloading it half a dozen times over last 20-30 minutes and still no luck, just get a message in winzip that it's not a valid archive

I uploaded it for you (unzipped) here: http://myfreefilehosting.com/f/2f25bd9f51_3.23MB

Good luck.

Any chance of getting a pdf/doc of the shortcut keys for the game.

Any chance of getting a pdf/doc of the shortcut keys for the game.

They are listed in the Readme.rtf doc.

Btw, next patch will add two new shortcut keys (for the laptops who don't have the Pause key):

F9 - pause/upause key
F11 - do screenshot

Thanks,
Calvinus.
