Not bad. Now if only the guys that made the game could do something like this...

grrrr reminds me that I shouldn't have picked Master of Ice....
Good work though. A little more space between the "basic", "advanced" and" expert" would be better though. And a little more flashy to

LMAO...all flashy no functionality GREAT job on the manual, shame when the fans will do something for free that the game makers won't do even when theyre getting paid to do it!

even though i think badly of Ubi for not making a decent manual for the game, and i worship you guys that made this one, i still dont think that anybody here appreciates the time and money it takes to come out with a decent manual. first of all, paper costs money. if every copy of the game came with a 150 page+ manual, you can expect the game to cost 5 or 10 dolllars more, which they dont want. so when they do come out with the manual, it would be a free downloadable pdf, and probably still wouldnt come as a booklet with new versions of the game anyway. other than that, it also takes time. if they wanted a full and accurate manual to ship with the original game at release, it would have had to have been released another week or maybe even two. obviously, nobody wanted that since it was originally supposed to be released a month earlier anyway. the only way to have a manual on release would have been to do something like what the guys with the strategy guide did: release a rushed and useless guide with beta-test infomation. of course, the guide could have been released with demo information, but it wasnt because that would have taken time. to print all that stuff takes alot of time and because of that they couldnt have started printing after the demo was out because then they wouldnt have had enough time. i think its better that we have a small replacement manual now with promise of a bigger and better and un-rushed one that they mde in their own pace to be released later, than to have a slightly informative, slightly longer, but terribly rushed manual. if we had that, then there would be no need for Ubi to make a new one because they already did. its like the Save Heroes thing. we could have either had a rushed incomplete manual earlier, or a complete and useful manual with a long delay. Either way, until the real manual comes out we can always just enjoy the great manual the hardworking CH team made for us, and maybe even after the official one is finished.'
edit: i just put it in and noticed how long it is. sorry about that, just said what i had to say.

You are so wrong here.Printing of a decent 150 pages manual wont go over $5.And considering that theyd have all the information straight from the developers,writing a manual by a proffesional is only a month long process with all the updating.So I disagree that it would be hard them to make a decent manual.
yes, one month.... either way, they wouldnt print so many manuals when the game is going to get so many changes over the next several months. when the major patches are don, like the map editor and such, they would probably release it. they might even have a manual ready right now, but not releasing it becausethey are planning many changes.

BS. Changes can be listed in the patch readme. And I doubt they'll make such huge changes to the game to justify not havng a proper manual.
