Where is the Manual?
I have the standard Edition, but in the Extras there isn't the digital manual but only the guide.
Where is it?
Thanks

I don't believe that the manual is still included. It was a backer item for fun more than functionality, and very out of date in terms of its information. All the information the player needs is conveyed in game.

That said here is the previous PDF for you to view... https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/566090/manuals/BT4_Digital_Manual.pdf?t=1537568790

Many thanks, I have seen the game has a good tutorial and a manual isn't necessary, but I am an old gamer when a beatiful manual was an important game's part.

The manual is still very useful because it provides an overview of what everything is.

Quite helpful and nice to have.

I feel old now :) But indeed.. a good physical manual was part of the experience, but also a necessity. I remember the game 'Darklands', for instance that had a 100+ pages and tought me a lot on medieval society as a kid. BT4 does a good job in-game, though it's nice to read about tactics from other players here.

Or games like bards tale where the copy protection was the manual with key words you typed in from it. I played them so much with my grandfather. Why I backed the game.

Yep, they did that a lot back in the day.

I don't know...some games in the old days were also conceived as... works of art, really. That has become far less prevalent, these days.

Anyway, as a "Early Wyrm" backer, I go the whole package of the physical copy of the original game still laying around. I keep it as a collector's item.
