Who is "Cervo"?  Doesn't ring a bell.  I recognize all the other forum people thanked(and they deserve it), but that ones doesn't ring a bell.

Big Kudos for an actual Manual designed by the developers of a game worthy of the name and the time reading. Sorely missed from many an otherwise splendid 4x recently...

Very nice manual. Too bad i cannot print it (printer broken) (and for printing i'd prefer text (and example images only version).

Definetly need to read it more carefully before actually playing. I didn't really play the beta so i don't really know how to play. Or more specifically, details about stuff. Partially because the beta didn't have a manual.

Would it be to difficult to make a KINDLE version?  I love my kindle, it goes everywhere with me.

Derek (or Brian?) did the thank you section so I couldn't tell ya...

 

For all the people asking for a more responsive version, I'll see about getting a lower res 'lite' version up tomorrow along-side the normal one

I'll put my hat in with the request for a pad, kindle friendly version so I can curl up in bed with it and enjoy drinking in the old school nature of it.

Probably went to far there, sorry people.

I hope the manual keeps up with patches, dlc, expansions where relevant, I hate it when I buy a game a few months after release only to discover that some of the manual is pretty much worthless as the info is out of date (paradox being a case in point).

Just imagine if Stardock were the very, very first to produce a kindle manual.

It would take the gaming world by storm.  Even Mr president of America would have to stand up and take notice.

Tattyhay, completely agree with you.  I wholeheartedly believe that pad/kindle version of the manual would increase sales by a factor of a gazillion.

 

Also do you plan on anything like the sins rebellion collectors pack for Fallen Enchantress if sales go well?

I wonder if Cervo is suppose to be Cervomix.  I think Cervomix was the guy who created a fan site for Elemental.

I too would love to have a Kindle version of the manual.  But now that I think of it, can't you e-mail PDFs to your Kindle?  Haven't tried it myself, but I'm pretty sure there's a way to do it...

Calabre can convert pdf's and put them on your kindle but the conversion is flipping awful.

Oh, dunno. That was all Derek.  We have an optimized version in-house. I'll get it posted for folks.

and here it is, we tried making a 'kindle' specific version but it did not come out well... this 'slim' version seems to look and function well on tablets (and slower computers).

Another Great Move, Toby !

I just downloaded your "slim" version of the Fallen Enchantress Manual on my iPad, and it looks awesome !  Completely readible, and  waaaaaaay  convenient, for having on my desk, alongside my PC.  Talk about a great Reference Tool !    Nice job on this ...

Thanks for trying.  I will pop the slim version through calibre and see what I can get.

 

UPDATE: If you run it through Calibre pdf to mobi, and use the remove images option it come out quite good.

Please tell me that one of them is a copy protection wheel. In order to launch the game, you'll need to turn the wheel to find the right code. Ahh... so much of my childhood was spent fumbling through copy protection wheels.

Is the manual available on the regular FE website? It'd be nice to see it there, too, if it's not already.

it is not currently, but now that you've reminded me I will hound marketing to get it up there tomorrow

and it's not a copy protection wheel, although those were badass.

it's much less exciting than that, but hopefully you will still like it

3D printers are a thing. Many are easily sufficient for figurines.
