One thing I've noticed is that the screenshots seem to be from an older version of Civ V. For instance, I believe in the final game the strategic view button is shown as a "Hex" icon, but in the manual it's shown as a button with the text "strategic view"....

Maybe instead of doing interviews and demos some folks who know the game well could be proofreading.
English P172, windmill:

PD: The spanish versión says must
