Will the game manual be available online prior to release?

from Stardock Forums
Go on Brad :-)

Seriously though, I'd like to pick through the game now, especially all the building / ship / tech statistics and plot my evil tactics.

If a manual doesn't exist will it soon? Does the game have an in built "Civilopedia"? I love that feature in the Civ series. Cba reading the manual when in game. I like a quick way to get the info I need.

There is an online manual under the encyclopedia tab. It's probably not 100% up to date but it's a good start.

Also under that tab is a link to a nice fan site that has many of the techs in the game.

Is the manual with the game exactly the same as the one on this site, or will it be updated, or will it even come in a hard copy with the game?

It's very similar to what's on this site. Just typos and a few clarifications added.

BTW, what will the "physical" manual be ? I mean, will we have the same booklets in the retail (that is boxed IIRC) and "direct/DVD" version ?
Will we have a real beefy 100+page manual or just a leaflet with the "real" one in PDF/HTML/whatever electronic format ?
I should add that I *love* big manuals, that what's make up real Strat games... Compare what you did get with old MoOs, or SE4, with the crap you now often have as a lame excuse of manual... ;p

The original Moo's manual wasn't that large at all- it covered the topics well and succinctly; it simply wasn't that long.
