Cheating is smart.
I was just surprised to see the phrase 'pissed off' in the manual for a game rated 10+.
On page 10
the set up game screen
the picture shows a game being set up, and the americans selected,
but their special power is
units spend only 1 movement point entering any tile next to a river, 25% faster border growth from culture
Im sure it's now just
america can buy tiles for 25% cheaper...
I have worked on projects with manuals in the past though, so my guess is thats a really old build with only the UI correct and the data wrong.

Yeah I thought the same thing, then I realized the Destroyer is an Industrial Era unit, not a Modern era unit... That might have something to do with it.

So did I read correctly? A farm in Civ V can be built anywhere, even without irragation? So if you have a plains tile 2 hexes away from a river, building a farm on it gives it +1 food for a total of 2? Then when fertilizer is researched, that tile is now +3 food?
At Civil Service, farms built by rivers will be +4? FP will be +5?
It would makes sense since food and growth seems to be the "be-all end all" in this game. Not complaining but just want to make sure.

Not that I have virgin ears or anything, but I also was a little surprised at that. It's a first in any game manual for me.

It's about time Americans join us Europeans on the dark side.

Cultural
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. Once youve done that, the Utopia
Project is unlocked. Construct that project and you win a cultural victory. You cannot rush or
purchase this project; it must be constructed.

Good to see the manual made available before the game is released/unlocked
A bit disappointed the manual wont be a provided as a printed 'book' with shop bought versions of the game, but accept this is the way things are going.
I don't find a computer screen the best method for studying a manual, or using a manual for reference. I assume having a paper manual beside you when playing the game is useful to people new to the Civ series who'll be learning as they play.
A lot of people will be perfectly happy with only looking at the manual on a screen, and reading in game help. But for the rest of us it'd be helpful if a printer friendly version of the manual makes an appearance. In it's current style the manual is going to require a horrendous amount of ink to print out, and many of the images are small and can only be seen full size when using a computer.
Saying all that, I know I am going to give into temptation and print it out....

I wish these resources would be in the manual too: Pig, corn, rice, crab, clam, copper and stone.

Doesn't surprise me either.
Society is becoming increasingly lax about use of traditionally vulgar language.
If you can say
on primetime tv, than pissed off in a manual is par for the course.EDIT: the smiley's I guess mean although it's ok on primetime tv, not ok on civ fanatics.
It is a female dog I made reference to there.

To be fair, the use of vulgar language was traditionally looked down upon when it was used in the presence of a lady - as this passage from Trollope demonstrates:
As Civ V is a computer game, perhaps Firaxis is assuming that no ladies will read the manual?
