Are there updated charts and tables for the latest version (1.0539) somewhere? The charts in the manual seems outdated.

I believe the main manual is more or less the same as around release because the patch notes were added at the end and not actually worked into the manual. I guess it was too much work for Leo to add all of the new changes directly to the manual, if a rule was changed.

Leo has been working on integrating the changes into the main body of the revised manual, but it's a big job and is not completed. Until it completed, we're just releasing the changes at the end of the manual.

Hi all,

All new stuff in addendum will be added to appropriate places in manual - it just takes a lot of time...

I do not doubt its a lot or work... and many thanks a manual is vital. Just like in AE where soon learning the game will be impossible.

can I suggest that additions are in blue and changes or deletion in red that way players can see what has changed a lot easier...

I thought about that (and even tried it) - but then it dawned on me that it might be the best that the new stuff is simply entered instead of obsolete info - in other words just "present truth" in manual...

The rule is a rule - why would it be good for a player to know what was the old (and now obsolete) rule?

Just additions then???

Otherwise unless you read the whole thing you may miss something. experience players should be able to see the changes and quickly get to grips, new players though have to read the whole lot...

I agree. No need to keep the old info in the manual. A different colour for changed or new info would definitely be handy! Maybe also a note at the front of the manual noting what game version the current manual edition corresponds to.

I put that from the start... just check the new manual - front page!
