Huzzah!

I see the full tables are included at the end of the manual just like for civrev. That's great stuff!

I'm wondering now whether there'll eventually be a printer friendly version without the coloured background, because as nice as that manual looks, I can't afford to have my printer chew through that much colour.

Gah! It doesn't say how SP cost progresses!

Also, it seems they switched back to the model that a research agreement give +15% science for the duration of the agreement.

Found a big typo:

Ranged Units

Ranged units are units that can attack enemies in adjacent hexes and in hexes one or more
spaces away. The distance a unit can attack is determined by its “Range” statistic. The
strength of its ranged attack is determined by its “Ranged Combat” statistic. An Archer unit,
for example, has a Combat Strength of 7, a Ranged Combat Strength of 8, and a Range of
2. It can attack enemy units one or two hexes away with a Strength of 7. However, if an enemy
unit attacks it, it defends with its Combat Strength of 4.

From seeing this in the strategy guide thread:

Strategy guide is obsolete.

You can download the MANUAL now

(Note that I didn't discover this. I'm merely posting this in a more visible way, but giving full credit to bhavv for informing us.)

I visited civilization5.com and their Download section. Over on the right, there's a "download manual" link.

Slow download. Probably be a bit slower now, eh?

I love you Greg. Publishers never do stuff like this.

Well it definitely isn't as pretty but I just hit cntl + A and cntl + c and pasted the entire thing in Notepad++ You can just print the text from there

Glad to hear it--just getting a random tech at the end seemed a bit... random.

In the mod section they have my clock feature. Simple Clock Example. Hopefully that is available on day 1 so I don't need to figure it out or wait for someone else to do it

That must be an error. It definitely provides you with a free tech. I'll let the powers that be know about it.

Under Game Options:

Alternate Cursor Zoom Mode: When zooming out, the screen will pull straight back instead of remaining anchored to the cursor.

This is exciting. Does that mean civ5 uses the Zoom-To-Cursor feature that I've been clamouring for?

I'm a bit unsure what this description means exactly. It sounds like it only affects zoom-out, and not zoom-in as well
