General point: The Spanish, French, German and Italian manuals all use the English language screenshots which is not helpful for navigation and understanding of speakers of those languages.
Spanish:
Page 1 : Introduction.
¡Os doy la bienvenida a Civ V [...]
Too formal or using plural when the rest of the paragraph uses singular.
Suggested correction Bienvenido a Civ V [...]
Also, this is just wrong:
"Culture is a measurement of your civilizations commitment to and appreciation of the arts
and humanities everything from cave paintings and Tiki heads to Hamlet, or Beethovens
Ninth Symphony to Lady Gagas latest video."
-Civ V Manual
Lady Gaga in the same sentence as Shakespeare and Beethoven.
This was changed , wasn't it ?Increasing Beakers (and Speeding Up Research)->Trade said:You can enter into “Research Agreements” with other civilizations once you have learned
the Writing technology. Under such agreements, each civ pays 150 gold and in return gets a
15% boost to its research for the duration of the agreement.
Does Civ V win an award for most errors ever in a video game manual?
Yes it does! Here it is:
You're technically right, but a lot of people refer to the whole tower as Big Ben. So people are using the name of a part as name for the whole.That's not a manual error if that's what it is ingame, though. It's not the only one. Big Ben is a bell, the picture of St. Stephen's Clock Tower isn't technically the same thing.
Basing on Civ IV, I would not bet on having the real Kremlin there ...
Well, if we go that way, Chichen Itza is far worse ... that is like making the "Paris" wonder with a pic of the Louvre
But atleast it has a pic of Machu Pichu and not of a temple in Machu Pichu
Yeah, but notice the destroyer and other ships have higher combat strengths (for melee battles).
I think the point is that the sub and nuke sub are quite expensive and good as sneaky ranged units but quite weak if caught in close combat.
But then, I thought I read that ships don't even fight melee combat. How exactly does combat strength affect battle?
On page 30, it says mountains yield a 25% combat modifier. Could this be an error (or do air units gain a 25% defensive bonus)?
