Actually I was just putting together a fan guide, it's not finished but when it's done I hope it will be useful to some folks who like that kind of thing.
You do not need a Bradygames guide. You can just watch MadDjinn play (his YouTube channel is sbfmaddjinn).
Even if his LPs are good and very educational (and I can recommend them), they also can be very boring to watch (Watching him micromanaging every single aspect of the game even to the extreme sometimes. Every single turn.)
I miss the good ol' nightstand book. Hmm, perhaps Maddjinn should write one
Who needs guides when you have forums and wikis?
I do not hate printed game guides actually. As a general rule of thumb, I prefer printed game guides for Eastern games, but online sources for Western games, especially given that game guides for Eastern games tend to have more exclusive illustrations (including concept art, development illustrations) and details (such as developer interviews), as well as their games being more stable (as in not being patched as often, as they generally do not need to). For Western games, since they update themselves more often, I prefer to use online sources, including YouTube videos.
Even for Eastern games, I do not have much of a budget to have printed game guides for most of them, so I use online sources for them as well.
Despite most posts been disfavorable to the purchasing of any guide to Civ 5, I've done it anyway. I'll just have to wait a week or so now...
I`ve said this to my friends and i`ll say it again, game guides that you have to buy are the biggest cons on the planet. Someone thought, `Why give them a manual when we can make a gameguide and charge them for it?`
Don`t buy game guides. Ever.
To be fair, the expansion included some major changes to the game. And I don't think they released a separate guide, they just updated the old one.A strategy guide for an expansion seems like taking it a bit far.
You can't stand it when people don't agree with you, huh?I`ve said this to my friends and i`ll say it again, game guides that you have to buy are the biggest cons on the planet. Someone thought, `Why give them a manual when we can make a gameguide and charge them for it?`

I've been playing Gods & Kings recently and I feel that at this point I need a way to upgrade my gameplay and to improve my understanding of certain concepts. I consider myself not a starter at G&K but far from being a top player. Yes, it's true that there's a lot of good and helpful information around the forum, but I would like to have a single source of data that I can use whenever I feel the need for it. What can I do, guess I'm one of those helpless romantics that prefers to read on paper...
A past few days I found out about this manual, and like I wasn't able to locate any thread concerning this release, only about the Bradygames guide to vanilla Civ 5. I'm opening this one to learn about your opinion. Is it a good purchase? Or would you recomend other solution?
