None that I can see in this region.
Anybody from the US have seen this "standard" sized game boxes?

I just purchased EU in the USA this past week, and it came in the standard-sized box that both Civ2Gold and CTP came in.
As far as manuals go, I would definitely recommend EU as a way *not* to do it. The game does have a paper manual, but with no index or Table of Contents. Further, the manual tells you about the various things you can do in the game, but doesn't actually tell you how to do them! Instead, you have to reply on pop-up windows that happen when you drag the mouse over certain areas. It took me somewhere in the area of an hour or more to figure out what commands to use to progress up the royal marriage-->vassalization-->annexation pathway. Basically, a game as complex as EU REQUIRES an extensive and well-designed manual. And I think that Civ3 should have a good one. For those of us who have been playing the civ games for years, it may not be that difficult to just install and play right away, but I'll bet that Firaxis is counting on a lot of new players for the civ franchise with this game, and I can only think back to how difficult it would have been to start playing Civ1 without its great manual and chart.

A big paper-manual is good.
But the game also requires an extensive in-game encyclopedia -
en equivalent to the CTP2 "Great Library".
