No, the information is not in the FAQ, which is why the competition is a public service.

Wow, now THAT is rare.

Though, to be honest, I did read the new rules and changes when each beta patch came out during the beta test... does that count as reading the rules?

That's the rules of the Civilization Fanatic Center's fourms, not of C3C.

That said, I have read the CivII, CivIII, PTW, and C3C manuals. The CivII is the only one that's of any use.

The Civ2 manual is notoriously bad. The Civ3 manual is better, albeit only slightly.

It would be cheaper if they simply printed the addresses of the best fan sites (such as this...) in the back of the manuals. More info here than in the game, no matter how much you compress it...

How so? Near as remember, it's got fewer errors than the CivIII one, and more technical info (which isn't saying much more than that there is technical info, but still). And it reads like it wasn't written by an analphabetic.

The Civ2 manual has many many errors and omissions (and not just of technical stuff) and also includes some things that didn't make the final game.

On topic: Civ1's manual was the best ever! I really miss the days when you could spend days just reading a game's manual. Anyone remember the Elite manual way back in the C64 days? It even came with a novel

Sounds eerily like the CivIII one.

Bottomline: I found the CivII manual moderately useful. The CivIII one, as well as the PTW and C3C ones, I found totally useless.

that's because you already knew how to play the games. They weren't that different.

For me Civ2 was the first civ game I played. So obviously I found it useful. I reread it a couple of times trying to find more information to improve my game. A guy I knew also had a strategy guide. I reread that one as well trying to improve my game. Although I think I learned the most here.

I think we've scared him away.

@Dissident: Considering that most folks I know never touch the manuals for their computer games, I'm not sure you "obviously" found the CivII manual useful just because you've never played a Civ game before.
