I had a few moments to spare today while at uni, had nothing better to do (no access to the game there) so I started browsing old threads and came across a thread of almost a year ago in which we discussed writing a new manual. The discussion soon lead to an argument over what file format to use for the final result and died. That's a pity because writing a new manual is a darn good idea: the current manual and strategy guide are very crap to begin with, and also rapidly getting obsolete.
So I gave some thought about what such a new manual would look like and, having nothing better to do anyway, came up with a rough draft of the overall structure. I'm posting it below, please feel free comment on it: is it good, is it bad, what to add (I'm sure I forgot a few things), what to move, what to leave out. Maybe a few people can actually start writing this thing? We can worry about details like file formats later, it's usually not too hard to convert one format into another.
I'm not sure how much time I would be able to invest in this myself, but I think this is a excellent project to work on for those people who are currently not doing much for the project but who want to help more. At the time of the previous thread people like CoT, centrifuge, IW, Gilgamensch, Aias, Tamerlin, The Big Mc and Solver seemed interested, those would be good people to work on this now if they have time and feel like it. Other can also help out if they want of course.

I agree it would be good to have a decent, complete, unified, well-structured and up-to-date manual for modding. One that discusses the ins and outs of every text file, explains for every concept in the game (units, special effects, orders, goody huts, AI strategies, etc, etc) how to add/edit it and also discusses the various modding tools that are currently out there and how to use them (TileEdit, CtPEd, in-game scenario editor, BMP2CTP2, etc). A bit like hex's mod guide but more complete and up-to-date (a lot of stuff from hex's guide and other documentation out there could probably be reused).
However, I don't agree that that information should be part of this playing manual: there is far too much information to just add it all as a seperate chapter or a few seperate chapters. I think in fact that it would be best to have 3 manuals: one for the playing, one for modding, one for SLIC. The first one is what I started this thread for, the second one I frankly haven't given much thought to yet and the third one I've already got covered (just give me a few more weeks, possibly months).

Well, I named it Civ3 because how many people are out there that have played Civ2 but not Civ3? But yeah, mentioning differences with older Civ games could be part of it.
quote:
just personal opinion i guess, but 2.5 for the interface seems a little late, as settlers seem early at 2.4 |
The idea is that sections 2.3-5 explain everything pretty much everything the player sees when he first starts a new game, to help him get through the first few turns of the game (combined also with 2.6, so that he can build units and start exploring). In what order these things are explained is fairly unimportant IMO, basically at the discression of whoever ends up writing that chapter.

4.3 free advance on capture? when did that happened, or is AE? |
Yes, that was added in AE. You should play the game more

Now that we have a svn server to do the work in, I feel like making a start on the documentation, so I'm interested to know what, if anything, has been done so far (CoT?).
I could lay down this outline in LaTeX, and perhaps work on something to autogenerate tables for the appendicies from the text files. Of course, I don't actually play the game very much, so I wouldn't be the best one to write the body of the text, but once the outline is there it would be relatively easy to add to without much knowledge of LaTeX (it's not very different from just text by that stage).
In fact, it has just occured to me that using texinfo is another option... but I won't complicate matters by promoting it .
I feel I should also point out that in fact we need at least four manuals, not just the three Locutus mentions, and the fourth (for those working on the source code) is the only one we have at present! 
I'd be interested to hear the progress of the SLIC manual...

well my 'Complete CTP2 newbie guide on how to play' is basically finished. It comprises the following:
1. How to start a game(100% complete)
2. complete UI breakdown and explanation with all the subcatogaries.(95% complete)
3. step-by-step (monkey see monkey do) start-up game guide for the first 10 turns (appprox)(90% complete)
I need to do a complete layout re-check and edit, just to polish up any errors and the idea is to give it to my girlfriend so she can try to play the game using just this guide. Once i start this last bit it shouldn't take long before i can hand it over to you or Locutus.
Its all based on the playtest version i've been using but is also aplicable to the origonal game(which apart from the different start-up menu layout is the the same in-game).

CTPII NEWBIE GUIDE:
This bit fits into Locutus's file he already prepared as a framework.
H2 Getting Started
(A quick run-through of all facets of the game, to help complete newbie get started. All of this may or may not be intertwined with an in-game (SLICed) tutorial and the Great Library. I'm using Apolyton playtest version 2004-9-14)
In this section you will get a guided tour through [a few dozen years/turns], to help familiarise you to various parts of CTP2.
We’ll be using default setup – so don’t go into the ‘Options’ menu yet.
First let’s start a ‘New Game’.
You should see now see the ‘New Game’ setup screen. For this game we will leave the options alone. You will be Julius Caesar for this walk-through. Once you’ve had a look at the various option buttons, click the green ‘Launch’ button at the bottom of this screen.
After a short loading screen, you will find that you have two settler units on a small piece of visible land (The number 2 in the unit ‘shield’ indicates two units in the stack). Most of the game map is completely black.
Before we move our settler units lets have a look around at what does what in the User Interface (UI).
Mini-Map:
At the bottom left we have a large grey box – this is the mini map, and gives you a larger view of the world around you. At this moment it will be nearly all black, as you know nothing of the world around you yet. You can click in the mini-map to move the game view to that area of the map. At the top of the mini-map box are various filter options for the amount of detail you wish to display on the mini-map. Once you are further into the game these can help you with an at-a-glance worldview on how your empire is doing compared to the other players. Until you have explored a decent amount of the map around you, we can minimise the mini-map to give us a better view of the game world. Click the minimize button in the top right of the mini-map now, you can always expand it later as and when you need it.
Function bar(top of screen):
At the top of the screen is a grey bar with many options. From left to right they are:
Empire – this provides links to:
Empire Manager screen(F1)
Trade – Market screen(F4)
Trade – Summary screen(Ctrl+t)
Science Manager screen(F6)
Gaia Controller screen(Ctrl+g)
Cities –this provides links to:
Build Manager screen(Ctrl+b)
City Manager screen(F3)
National Manager screen(F2)
Units – this provides links to:
Unit Manager screen(F8)
Army Manager screen(.)
Diplomacy – this provides links to:
Diplomacy Manager screen(F7)
New Proposal screen(Ctrl+d)
Status – provides links to:
Great Library screen(F5)
Ranking(world) screen(Ctrl+k)
Score screen(F9)
Wonders screen(W)
Options – this accesses various in game options that effect different things:
Zoom in on the world map(-)
Zoom Out on the world map(+)
Gameplay(F)
Graphics(Ctrl+f)
Sound(Ctrl+v)
Music(Ctrl+m)
Advanced(Ctrl+p)
Cheat Mode(!)
Save Game(S)
Load Game(L)
Restart[with the same game settings](Ctrl+z)
New Game(Ctrl+x)
Quit(Q)
Main User Interface hub(bottom right of screen):
This is the main UI console that you will use to access CTP2’s various management screens.
The circular part contains the following buttons(going clockwise from the top):
Empire Manager – this takes you to the Empire Manager screen, this screen is divided into two pages:
Domestic Policy, on which you can set the amount of food your people receive.
The work hours per day they work and the amount of this overall production that goes into public works(PW).
Also you can set the amount of gold they get paid as wages and the amount of the overall gold that goes into your scientific research.
Government, on which you can get information about the efficiency of the government type your empire is working under, and a pull down list of the types of governments you can currently choose.
At the beginning you have only one choice – Tyranny, not a great system and you should aim to move to a more advanced one as soon as you can by researching the required techs(see Science Manager).
Unit Manager – this takes you to the Unit Manager screen, this screen gives you information on all your units and is divided into two pages:
Unit Statistics, on which you can see a complete list of all your unit types and their combat ratings. Also on the left is a small box in which your Military Advisor gives you information, you can toggle this box on/off with the ‘Advisor’ button on the bottom left of the Unit Statistics screen.
Just above the ‘Advisor’ button is the unit war status slider – this can be used to change the war readiness of your units. It has three settings:
At peace – your units cost little to support and are at one-third combat strength.
On Alert – your units cost a medium amount and are at half combat strength.
At War – your units cost the most in support and are at full combat strength.
You start with ‘At war’ support costs, and its best to leave it like that for now.
NOTE: It takes a few(x?) turns for your War Status to change to the new selection, so take this into account as you can leave yourself vulnerable if you make a change at the wrong time!
Just below the ‘War Status’ information panel, is the ‘Disband Unit’ button – be careful with this button as its possible to disband all units of a certain type when in our current ‘Unit Statistics’ screen!
The last button on the bottom right is the ‘Quit’ screen button; this closes the ‘Unit Manager’ screen.
Tactical Info – this screen gives you a complete breakdown of each and every unit. It displays the units name, army number, any orders, its location and its current health rating.
From here you can highlight each individual unit in your armies – if I need to use the ‘Disband Unit’ function, I do it from this screen rather than the ‘Unit Statistics’ page.
Diplomacy Manager – This screen allows you to conduct diplomatic relations with any of the other Empires you have come into contact with. Next to the nations name this screen displays the nations regard of you, its relative strength, whether you have an embassy established, and the type of alliances or treaties you have with each other.
To engage in diplomacy you need to select a nation from the list and select one of the options at the bottom of the screen. These are, from left to right:
Intelligence – provides more detail on that particular empire and its relations with you, using the pages called foreign relations, Domestic and Science.
Create proposal – initiate diplomatic proposals in which you can set the demands, your tone of address, and various other diplomatic options. There are many options available to you. The basic process involves these few steps:
1.Select the tone of your proposal (from kind to angry)
2.Select either a Request, Offer or Treaty
3.Select an additional Request, Offer or Treaty to make an exchange of step 2.
4.Send it off
You will need to have encountered another civilisation before you can undertake diplomatic actions. It’s worth experimenting with all the options to get the hang of it (you can always go back some steps if you make a mistake).
Declare War – for when diplomacy breaks down.
Embargo – your Empire will automatically close all trade links with the chosen party.
Science Manager – This screen gives you information on the current advance you are researching in the top left and centre graphic box. The number below the picture is the amount of turns remaining before you have learnt this new advance. The bottom half of the screen is used to display the advances you have already learnt, represented by your civilisations colour in the first column of blocks. There are seven other blocks running across the screen.
As you meet other civilisations they will have their colours represented here. It helps you to see how far ahead or behind you are in your advances in comparison to the other AI civilisations.
Clicking on either the ‘Change Research’ button, or the number of turns remaining box under the picture, will enable you to change the advance you want to research.
Its one of the first thing I do when starting a game as often you will be on a difficult advance to discover as a default.
A useful function in the ‘Change Research’ screen, is the ability to set advance goals. At the bottom of the screen is a ‘Goal’ button. Clicking on this enables you to access the ‘Great Library’ and select a particular advance goal for you to aim for. When you do this all the subsequent advances that lead to this goal will have an asterix(*) symbol next to them, so you can see what advance choices you make will lead you quickly to your chosen Goal, very handy.
At the start of the game I usually set my Goal to ‘Monarchy’ – its good to get out of ‘Tyranny’ as soon as you can, to have a more productive level of government.
The Great Library – if you want some information about any in game aspect of Call To Power 2, this is the place to go.
Down the left of the screen are ten buttons that will give you lists of all game:
1. Advances
2. Units
3. City Improvements
4. Wonders
5. Terrain
6. Goods
7. Tile Improvements
8. Governments
9. Unit Orders
10. Concepts
Everything is listed in alphabetical order and there is even a search function at the top left of the screen. At the bottom of the screen you can access the ‘Set Goal’ options as discussed above.
One word of warning – spending too long in the ‘Great Library’ can spoil some of the surprise/mystery of the game, so if you are new to the game use it sparingly.
Trade Manager – Use this screen to setup trade routes when you have ‘Goods’ to trade. There are two pages in the ‘Trade Manager’ screen:
Market – here will be listed all the available trade routes you can setup, if you have enough trade ‘caravans’ to do so. Each trade route has a cost in the amount trade ‘caravans’ required to set the route up. You need to build ‘caravans’ in your cities when you have researched the required advance. Once you have selected the route you want to open by clicking on it, and have enough trade ‘caravans’, click ‘Create Route’ at the bottom of the screen.
The direction the route travels will be decided for you. Sometimes if this route goes through enemy territory it can be a good idea to think about using another route, or you will find it getting pirated fairly often!
At the top of the screen are three buttons that toggle the trade routes you can choose:
Own – will only display the routes you can setup within your own empire
Friendly – displays all your routes plus all those of other friendly civilisations
All – well……as it says, all possible trade routes are displayed
Next to these buttons is the ‘Cities per good’ slider, this can be set to between 1 and 5. What this does is(…..?)
At the bottom left of the screen is another ‘Advice’ button, this gives access to the trade advisor whom can give you suggestions and also displays information on the trade routes and caravans you have or have used.
Trade Summery – this screen shows you information on all your active trade routes. It also will enable you to see if any of your routes are being pirated, a pirate flag will appear to let you know. If this happens it is a good idea to follow the trade route with a unit if possible and remove the pirate (or when you can see which civilisation the pirate belongs too, use the diplomacy screen to tell them to stop!).
The amount of money the trade route creates and the amount of caravans needed to keep it open are also displayed here.
At the bottom of the screen there is a ‘Disband Route’ button, this enables you to cancel any route you select from the list displayed.
National Manger – This gives you a quick overview of all your cities. There are three main pages of information within this screen.
Resources – on this screen you get a resource breakdown for each city, it displays the city name, population size, happiness, food, production, gold, science, pollution and crime rate. You can toggle what priority this information is displayed in by clicking on the title tab (if you want to know which cities produce most food for example, click on the loaf of bread and it will toggle between the highest and lowest food producing city).
At the bottom of the screen are two buttons that can be selected when a city in the list is highlighted.
Build Manager – takes you into the build queue for the selected city
Disband – this button will disband any selected city, so be careful!
Status – this screen enables you see what each city is producing at that time and how many turns it will take to finish. Also at the bottom of the screen you have options to toggle on/off the city ‘Mayor’ function and set parameters for it.
To turn the Mayor on, select a city from the list then click the ‘Mayor’ button in the bottom left of this screen. The information panel above will update any changes you make with the Mayor status. There is a pull down menu next to the mayor button where you can select a priority for the mayor to follow (for example ‘production’).
To be honest I never use them, they are pretty hopeless at their jobs! I prefer to manage all my cities manually – still if you want a laugh/cry, then give them a go J
Just to the right of the ‘Mayor’ button is the ‘Rush Buy’ button. When you have selected a city from the list in the ‘Status’screen you will be able to quickly build whatever is in that cities build queue at the time, by clicking the ‘Rush Buy’ button. The cost is in gold and is displayed to the right of the button. This can be useful when in a Wonders race, or when you notice an enemy army approaching a poorly defended city.
At the very bottom of the screen there are the ‘Build Manager’ and ‘Disband’ buttons, they work the same here as described previously.
Specialists –
City Manager – This screen gives you detailed information on a specific city.
2.1 Pre-game setup
(Various start-up options explained.)
After the intro movie has played you will find yourself in the Apolyton Edition start menu.
From here you can select the type of game you wish to play and various in game options.
On the left hand side we have the multi-player options, these are:
Network game – use this to setup a Multi-Player on-line game or a LAN game.
Email game – use this to play by email.
Hotseat – use this if you want to play a Multi-Player game, but on one pc.
On the right hand side of the screen we have the single player options, these are:
New Game – starts the single player default game.
Load Game – Loads a previous game.
Tutorial – The in game tutorial, a good place for new players.
At the bottom of the screen we have three other buttons, going from left to right these are:
Options – allows you to setup some game parameters and sound and graphics settings.
Credits – lists all the people who have helped in the Apolyton Edition remake.
Quit – don’t do it!

Well, I've TeXed both Locutus's and CoT's contributions, and it makes quite a substantial document already...
The source should be in the repository shortly, and I've attached a pdf version for people to glance at (of course, it's still pretty crude at present).
CoT - I cut and pasted your work around a bit to fit better into Locutus's outline, and because I think it makes more sense slightly rearranged. I hope you don't mind. Also, do you have access to the repository?
The obvious choice for licensing this is the GNU FDL, but that has acquired something of a bad press recently. There's also the creative commons. Does anyone have any opinions?

Well, hopefully the more annoying of the FAQ will be rendered irrelevant, but yes, it would seem like a sensible idea. Indeed, Locutus already suggested putting it under troubleshooting.
