	Civpedia in pdf ? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Something to read while not playing the game?
So you don't have to have the game disk in to read?


I would say YES

I think most people view spamming here as something to do while not playing the game.

The civpedia is useless crap. The civpedia on pdf would be useless crap on pdf.

If you wanna know about the game, use the frigging editor.

I wouldn't say it's useless...just that not in terms of reading offline.

I actually would


If this would fly, the next suggestion would be black and white icons, to keep costs of printing down.


Call be evil, I dont play often enough to commit some of the details to memory

Well, some of the descriptions are interesting, especially in the Conquests. But otherwise, it's only slightly more useful than the manual.

	PDF Manual, not pedia Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

What's needed is a PDF manual, not the Civilopedia. I've always liked having a printed manual, but a PDF copy is still needed so that it won't be outdated out of the box and can be easily updated to reflect changes.

I see no need for the civpedia to be in pdf really. Now, a manual on pdf could be good. The paper ones are always outdated when the game hits the shelve anyway.

I like to print only what I think is important, Never the whole manual.

The Civilopedia is hardly useless. As examples I often forget what tech allows irrigation anywhere or which one cancels the effect of wonder X. That's not to say it's not useless when the game isn't actually playing.
I would most rather html so the game can show the exact same help information easily as you can view out of game and can be published on the web for virtually no space/bandwidth requirement. As a rule, I hate PDF because the adobe is a hog when it comes to resources, and they can’t seem to get the notion that I’d rather just look at the document and not load a hundred widgets to go with it.

If you want to make it, make it .txt or .html. PDF is good for printing, but for viewing on line it is utter crap.
