Wiki fulfills every single function that a manual does except being a physical item. Read it from front to back and you've got a manual.

It's by far the best way we have ever discovered to pool and disceminate human knoweldge.Ī wiki is just a manual cut up by chapters so that you can easily and quickly find what you want. It's called a Wiki, and has taken the world by storm in the last 15 years. It's in a much more accessable format with many benefits that manuals do not have. That having been said, they DO HAVE A MANUAL. I write and record guides for many games. Originally posted by LGC Bridger:Manuals are not cheap to write. In a year it will be half off and perhaps by then they will provide a manual.or at least essential Waffen SS uniforms. Paradox games are never finished at release anyway. They come in with a vague wiki filled knowledge of the topic about as deep as tissue. I flunk my college students every day because they lack the ability/interest/discipline/ to sit down and read the assignment. Why should I have to go to a Paradox forum to dig though post after post to learn a rule someone discovered from trial and error?īut hey, I admit to being an old guy in this regard. Many will trial and error - click here and click there only so far before they give up playing a game too opaque to penetrate. Many of the problems encountered with Stellaris may have been avoided if the game systems were better explained. A wiki of Plato's Aplology is useful in conveying the information per se, but doesn't really explain the system of logic presented in the dialogue itself.īut you're right it is a money thing (why do what crowd sourcing may do for you) but I contend that they would be better off spending money on a manual where the game systems are explained officially by the developer rather than pointless frilly day one DLC of cosmetic units of Polish tanks few will notice. A manual is a more specific presentation of the material in a manner condusive to Learning the topic in question. By definition a wiki is a collaborative process wherein information is posted categorically.
