Re: Vanilla Summon Costs
I think that NOT including a proper electronic manual is silly. Piracy concerns ? Security through obscurity ?
If it was up to me, there would be either no paper manual or it would only contain general stuff not dependant on patches. I may be strange, but I think listing all summons on inconvenient to use paper pages is waste of time, money, and trees.

The problem is that this game is more of a project by someone that finds it fun than it is a commercial release. That tag comes with a lot of advantages and disadvantages, one of the disadvantages seems to be that he's very touchy about piracy and he'll make the game worse to try and prevent it. |

Re: Vanilla Summon Costs
Even though, the suggestion of letting a few dedicated players update the manual and proposing their time to make updated version of it stays good for me.
It is a lot confusing to have whole nations that are not included in the manual.

Re: Vanilla Summon Costs
You could find .pdf version of the manual on net soon after game release anyway.

I would just like to mention that I personally find a paper manual vastly easier and more pleasant to use than a pdf, and am very grateful for its existence. |

Yes! And I can bring it with me in the car when I've got to pick up the wife, 'cause I know I'll have to wait. And read it in the bath, without fear of electrocution.

Re: Vanilla Summon Costs
I think having the option to have both a print version and a searchable PDF would be idea. Or at least PDF updates to keep the print manual up to date.

OT: I have never understood the concept of reading in the bath. I wouldn't take a disposable newspaper anywhere near water. Risking getting a book wet is unthinkable.

The manual thingy is Shrapnels policy, not Illwinters.
How has anti piracy efforts made the game worse? |
