Frustration with lack of instructions... help please

[suckycivguy]

I bought this game because I love the original but that was a long time ago and I've forgotten how to play.

I got this game yesterday and am enjoying playing it but I know I'm not playing it the right way just messing around.

The instruction manual that comes with the game is thin and useless. The tutorial also explains very little and the information in the civilopedia is not helpful...

I'm browsing this site looking for good clear cut instructions on how the game works. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The manual I have is 70 pages and very comprehensive - do you have a different manual? The civilopedia contains a huge amount of information but it is not always easy to find what you are looking for.

However while both these tell you what to do they don't necessarily tell you why or when to do it. Check some of the threads in the Strategy Articles forum or ask questions here for more information.
