Anywhere I can get a manual!!

supaguruzebidy · Jan 23, 2004, 04:31 AM

I bought the game of civ 3 off ebay and it didn't have a manual anyone know where I can get one from???

Offa · Jan 23, 2004, 05:04 AM

This site is a lot better than the manual. Much of the stuff in the manual is wrong anyway.

Provided you can work out how to do the absolute basics, everything else you need is to be found here, albeit a little hard to find sometimes.

Capt Buttkick · Jan 23, 2004, 06:26 AM

Like Offa said: you're much better off reading the info on Civfanatics and using the fantastic utilities available here.
I'd like to add that for a manuaholic (right?

) like myself the Civ 3 manual was thoroughly disappointing after the informative and pretty manual of Civ 2.

Space Cadet · Jan 23, 2004, 06:50 AM

This site has lots of good stuff that just is not in the manual. In particular try the in Info Centre for general info and this from cracker [URL=http://www.civfanatics.com/doc/civ3/cracker/civ3_starts/] to help get things started.

Capt Buttkick · Jan 23, 2004, 07:09 AM

I think that's supposed to be:
Cracker's opening advice pages
But that's a very good advice

The Last Conformist · Jan 23, 2004, 08:23 AM

There's a pdf of the manual included on the CD.

Brewster · Jan 28, 2004, 05:05 AM

Check out the War Academy at www.civfanatics.com for everything you need from strategies to unit upgrade paths.

supaguruzebidy · Jan 29, 2004, 04:41 AM

Yeh look the war academy and others can be pretty longwinded! I'm looking for something printable so I can read it at leisure while kicking back on my couch listening to some tunes and not using up precious internet hours!

Brewster · Jan 29, 2004, 04:50 AM

Just print them and browse at your leisure (that's what I did).

The Last Conformist · Jan 30, 2004, 02:53 PM

Certain there isn't one?

PM me your email address, and which manual(s) you want (CivIII, PTW, C3C), and I'll send them to you.

check out www.mirc.com - that will help.

its some system of chatting.

i just realized that i got the german version so the manual will be in german too - sorry :/

gladly the other guy could help

Duke Togo · Jan 31, 2004, 04:52 PM

Are you sure you have the real CD? You might have gotten ripped off on eBay and bought a pirated copy. I have all three Civ III games, and each one comes with the manual in PDF format on the CD in the "Manual" folder.

supaguruzebidy · Feb 01, 2004, 03:34 AM

Duke togo!No manual on the disk which isn't a fake as I have had it registered!I might even suggest that maybe some versions released in some nations might have been different to your ones! I also have all three versions and guess what no manuals on any of them and yes I do know how to open a file a look inside it!PS a fake cd wouldn't come with a cd key!

Duke Togo · Feb 01, 2004, 09:25 AM

CD Key, that's certainly different. Alice Springs, Australia, I take it? I'm curious now, what version are you using?

supaguruzebidy · Feb 01, 2004, 07:09 PM

1.26 no downloaded patches!PS I was wrong manuals on disk! Sorry all!

Duke Togo · Feb 01, 2004, 07:37 PM

LOL, that's ok. Glad we could help.

supaguruzebidy · Feb 02, 2004, 10:59 PM

Yeah it was a little misleading with everyone telling me it was on the disk! When in fact it was in the file on my harddrive which technically isn't the disk! If some one had said it will be in the files that were installed in your hard drive I probably would have found it very quickly!Mind you even the manufacturers printed on the CD" manual on the disk" so you could say their poor grammar caused the whole thing to happen in the first place!
