But you just suggested there will be no more PDF style manuals (or I misinterpreted?), and wiki is there, so maybe just place a shortcut to it.
It lacks general info about interface options and so on, but at this point the manual is incomplete too.


Or maybe we can start "manual" section on wiki to make book-style manual there...

There is a wiki button already.

Don't panic, we will replace it some day.

I don't think that the pdf manual will ever be updated again. I've put lots of time and energy into it and I like how it turned out, but in the end it's too hard and time consuming to keep it up to date. So when it comes to such data, the wiki really is the only valid way for the future.

Then just remove it so that new player don't get missinformed.

Ofcourse I did.Yes I know you like the manual and that you put alot of work in it.But many new players read that stuff you know? Or maybe at the beggining of the manual add some message to go to the wiki page instead that way they don't get wrong  info. I usually read game manuals and they suppose to give good information not wrong one.

I don't think you've read it, because your "then remove it" post was answered already. But let me quote it again for you, just in case:

if you will not replace the pdf manual, at least remove it permanently

Well, it will be removed some day.

I dont think it should be removed, even when i started playing th manual was outdated but it gave me a pretty good idea what the game is about before i started playing it.
