MANUALS: "The Forgotten" & "The African Kingdoms"

[-nOiSe-]

Where Can I find the official manuals of those expansions?
I mean a pdf file where all each new units and technologies are full explained, like the old manuals.
In the steam AgeIIHD folder I've just find AoK and TC pdf manuals, but nothing about "The Forgotten" and "The African Kingdoms".
Thanks! ^_^

There's none.

My cheat sheet gives you all the unit stats, and explains unique techs a bit more in depth if necessary: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=548698803

theres also a mod on the workshop which changes the ingame interface to resemble the real numbers more, as it gives you not just the attack speed but also the "reload time" (the time the attack takes) and exact numbers for more fuzzy technologies, like explaining the trample damage of cataphracts with both blast damage radius and the damage it does, if you are interested i search through my subscribtions for it

:'(

nice stuff the cheat sheet! But I need something that explains for each new unit, wich units are wekest or stronger against...

Ok. I'll check also the ingame mod interface. ;)
Thanks and sorry for my bad english... XD

Why don't you look them up on the Age of Empires wiki?

http://ageofempires.wikia.com/wiki/Age_of_Empires_Series_Wiki

Stuff resembling a manual:
- The wiki(s)
- Chris'[www.amazon.com] and André's[www.amazon.com] books (for sale).
- Jineapple's sheet and Pip's site[aoe2stats.net] <- sources of AoF and AK material.
- Several websites, including this one[www.cysion.be] and this one[www.forgottenempires.net], and many more (usually AoC oriented).
- Youtube videos, although with the exception of Spirit of the Law's most aim towards pure strategy.
- ZeroEmpire's fast castle tutorial here deserves to be mentioned as well, pros should make more of these.
This being said, what's still missing is a basic introduction to the system, the interface, the lobby... no wonder people still ask around about the shift button.

Every time thhe same with the blind fanboys! A wike is not the same as a manual !

AND A MANUAL MUST BE A STANDARD FOR EVERY GAME/ADDON !!!!!

But blind fanboys are too silly to understand this. So poor to beg for a manual in every game. But that is the new trend for the lazy devs.
In very complex games like Hearts of Iron 4 you will not find any kind of manual. And only to searcg for some youtube tutorial or wiki is very idiotic. It must be the work from the devs to explain ALL gamemechanics. It is not the players duty to search for wki/tutorial because devs are to lazy/arrogant to release a manual that must be standard ( like in games many years ago).

But i hate all the stupid blind ganboys they say to all it is great and defense every mess like the devs.

Only 1 example for the brainless fanboys: Me and many other say the intgeface and minimap is much to small.
Blind fanboys :"It is bif enough ,you eyes are too bad,buy better glasses" ect ect.
They have to all mess an answer. Fact is the interface is much to small and to lower the desktop reslulution is no option because i will use my supported TFT-resoliution for a sharp screen .

Or we must become (like many other games ....remastered games too) an option to customizable the interface. But to play with such mini interface/minimap/letters makes no fun.In a strategic game it is very important to see all well. That was a very big gamebreaker for me and i deinstall the game...will not become hurting eyes.
And the word "HD-edition" is the biggest joke ever for a game.

it wasnt included in all games before either
also the ui is big enough, maybe not in 4k but thats not the standard right now so i dont see any problem with it
also they keep being sharp if set to 1080p too

"to lower the desktop reslulution is no option because i will use my supported TFT-resoliution for a sharp screen ."

I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. Yes, the game should come with a resolution picker and it's a shame that it doesn't but the UI does look fine on lower resolutions.

I'm agree... Once there were paper manuals and it was a pleasure to read, consult and browse them... Now we have to be satisfied with the pd version or... nothing...
This is for all the games... this is not fair... expecially for a strategy game that every single add-on, every single new unit is important...

Is it still a thing to modify a quote?
