Alienated, "would-be" Paradox Fan....

[unmerged(78182)]

Would it have KILLED you to create a MANUAL?
What is wrong with you people?
I'm a consumer, who wants to purchase, who wants to play.....
But I don't have hours of my life to waste just trying to GUESS how the heck I'm supposed to develop my province.
Don't bother pointing me to your forum FAQs etc if all they go on about is how to succeed. I need to know haw to play at all! What does this button do?? Why doesn't this selection work??
I WANT TO SEE A BASIC, CONCISE, DOWNLOADABLE, PRINTABLE, PDF MANUAL. EIGHT TO TEN PAGES IS ALL YOU'D NEED.
But apprently your team is so deep in development none there can see the trees from the woods and focus on the basic instructions.
If Paradox falls apart, we will all know the reason why. Quality product. Turd support for new players.
"Beginners stay away." the reviews all said. Boy, they were right!
For every happy computer geek consumer you have on board, there are fifty of us casual players that you have thoroughly alienated by wasting our time.

I had this problem with vicky. Now the best thing for you to do is check the CK wiki. May not be a printable PDF format but it does have a search function.

Thank you thlawrence, but I only see general troubleshooting there so far. Will look again.
But just to be clear; this is not simply a rant. I actually AM looking for help.

check out the "Beginners Guide" at the wiki .

if you played these kind of games before, the start up 2 pager is really all you need to know.

once you've calmed down, welcome to the forums.

If you want it to be something else than a simple rant, you need to write like something else than a simple rant.

Not to offend you...
...but to be honest, I'd rather prefer a fine working simulation, especially when it is such a complex one like this, which will be technically supported even if it is a few years old (sorry, but unfortunately this is not the standard, even not if you buy some current games) than some fancy high colored bric-a-brac manuals, an additional CD with original Crusader chorales and a plastic club with the signature of William the Conqueror... but as I said, this is only my humble opinion...
And yes, the support in this forum here seems to be very good... so start the game, try a little bit and ask here upcoming questions... it's worth it!

Cheers, F.
