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)?

Courthouse p. 164 p. 214 - ought to mention that this building cannot be purchased with gold.
I'm glad they didn't ship a paper manual with the game.
Angkor Wat p. 154 culture cost of acquiring new tiles reduced 75% compared to Krepost: p 165 increases culture border growth 50%. Is this the same effect with different wording? How would these bonuses stack?

That whole paragraph is messed up. It lists archers as having a ranged strength of 8 - should be 6 according to the unit description later in the manual.

This is a huge problem for me -- the screenshots starting on page 20 in the English version show very old and totally out-of-date versions of the game's main interface. Note that in the upper right, there's a large "V" button -- that hasn't appeared in screenshots in quite a long time. All newer screenshots show three large buttons in the upper right of the interface: social policies, advisors, and diplomacy.
The old interface appears on the following pages of the English manual:

English version, page 117, emphasis added:
"To win a cultural victory, you must acquire five complete branches of social policies that is, you must own all policies within six different branches."
This sentence contradicts itself.

It says in one place that the Burial Tomb replaces the Temple, but in another that it requires Theology. I assume this is a mistake. The Temple requires Philosophy.
Also, this is just wrong:
"Culture is a measurement of your civilization’s commitment to and appreciation of the arts
and humanities – everything from cave paintings and Tiki heads to “Hamlet,” or Beethoven’s
Ninth Symphony to Lady Gaga’s latest video."
-Civ V Manual
Lady Gaga in the same sentence as Shakespeare and Beethoven.

barrack, military academy, armory -- all listed as providing 15 EXP
arsenal is a bonus to land unit production, but requires military academy.
It seems to me that armory should be a production building, and the prereq for arsenal. It doesn't seem right that a building providing EXP should be a prereq for a production building and there are 3 buildings giving EXP and only 1 for production.

Seems beta testing already begins with the manual 
.
No, steam has nothing to do with mods, gamespy is right here, Greg has already confirmed this.
For idiotic statements, please open a new thread.
And please add directly the nina dinosaurs to it.
At least they did not mention Justin Bieber.

Oy. Seems kinda sad for a digital-based manual to have so many errors, inconsistencies, and/or out-of-date info.
Something like this could've been updated until the last moment.
Maybe instead of doing interviews and demos some folks who know the game well could be proofreading.

At least we didn't get a print manual. I wouldn't mind if they update the manual ocasionally.
Here's my list of errors to add to the list (all English). Hopefully I didn't dup anything already posted.
Page 10: I thought SA's were Civ specific and not Leader specific
"It also displays the leader’s “trait” (special ability) and the civilization’s unique units and buildings."
Page 36: No bonus resources listed that increase gold output.
"Bonus resources increase the food and gold output of a hex."
Page 116: Domination references a "conquest" victory which no longer exists.
"However, you cannot win a conquest victory until and unless you recapture your own original capital."
Page 132/139 - Inconsistent references (Leader vs. Civ)
Brute: "...may be converted to the player’s side when playing as Bismarck."
Galley: "...may be converted to your side when playing as the Ottomans."
Page 163 - UB property listed last instead of first like all others.
Burial Tomb: "+2 Culture and +2 Happiness empire-wide, but it doubles the amount of Gold the enemy receives if this City is captured. An Egyptian Unique Building."
Page 167 - Poor wording
Military Base: "+12 Defense, requires that either a Castle or Mughal Fort."

Great Generals are Great People skilled in the art of warfare. They provide combat bonuses
offensive and defensive bonuses both to any friendly units within one tile of their location.
A Great General gives a combat bonus of 25% to units in the Generals tile and all friendly
units within 2 tiles of the General

I checked the Italian version: "La città non deve trovarsi su una collina." (the city must not be found on a hill). So it's quite possible the Spanish version is incorrect here.
BTW, I'm not a native Italian speaker, but I believe "trovarsi" is incorrect. Should be "fondare" (trovarsi is to find, not to found. Then again, that's almost an English mistake before the translation
).

p203 policies liberty and citizenship report about construction rate of settlers and workers
p158 and p 218 pyramids also reports construction rate of workers increase 50%
This is poor wording. The settlers are produced 50% cheaper (liberty) whereas I believe the workers build improvements 25% faster (citizenship) and 50% faster (pyramids).

Not sure if this is an error, but sure seems weird:
Page 86 states clearing a forest takes 3 turns. Page 88 states constructing a farm takes 6 turns. But, constructing a farm on a forested tile takes 10 turns?
Same pattern holds for jungle and marshes and other improvements (like mines..)
