Where can i find manuals for the expansions. Steam just provides me with the basic game manual.

Check the EUIV Wiki. They didnt release a new manual for each expansion, but have included the wiki as an official and monitored Reference.

There are manuals for some of the expansions. You can find links here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/europa-universalis-iv-manual.707812/
Lots of outdated stuff on the wiki though, which there really shouldn't be, considering it's supposed to be the official resource for everything in the game.

Yes, they released a Manual for each new expansion -- which has not been the case for some time for CK2, if I remember well.
You may find them in Steam, on each DLC page. For instance, you may have the El Dorado manual on this page: just CTRL+F "View the Manual", and it will be in this damn long column at the right of the screen.
Depending of the language you use in Steam, you'll have the Manual in English, French, German and Spanish -- if you're using Polish you'll get the English Manual though.
EDIT: hmm. Doesn't seem to be a Spanish traducción. Quite strange.

Ah, there it was.... that was well hidden...
Why can Paradox just not include the manual in the DLC files and place them in a folder...?
There is one person who is employed for all of the wikis. Every other person on the wikis is a volunteer and I'm getting a little tired of being abused about the stuff I do in my spare time.
If you look at the articles by version http://www.eu4wiki.com/Category:Articles_by_version then you'll see that more pages are up to date for 1.13 or 1.14 than are older (1.12 or before).
A wiki will by definition never be complete, there will always be somewhere to improve it, and we of course welcome editors to help make sure the content is as up to date as possible.

The problem is that many of the most important articles are not up to date. I couldn't care less about some minor I've never played (ok, I could), but pages linked from the front page are high priority. Army and land warfare, for example, are at version 1.7... Edit: and the vast majority of the front-page links are <1.13.
Not the volunteers' fault, by any means, but if Paradox want the wiki to be "official" they should make sure there are the resources to keep essential information up to date.
I'm sorry you took it personally, I didn't mean it that way. What i'm saying is that if the wikis are supposed to be the reference for everything in the game then Paradox should allocate more resources to making sure they're up to date.
It's also important for people to realize that even thought the wiki is a very useful tool, they shouldn't take what's on it at face value. I got screwed in a multiplayer game once because I based my strategy on information taken from the wiki, now I fact-check everything.
The wiki is very nice though it's a nice thing to have, it should probably be advertised some more, so more people could come and write on it.

Although you may also consider it with another pont of view:
- I don't remember having seen since some time that tooltips are not up to date;
- Paradox made an effort to hire Meneth and help the volunteers being more organized to improve the wikis.
The wiki is advertised, the last contest has a pinned thread and they're all linked through the button at the top of the forum.
As for high priority pages it would be really helpful to have a list of pages that the community would like to see updated. I'm also going to see which pages are most hit on the wikis and will look into getting them updated if possible.

I got what i wanted. Official manuals for the expansions. I got them through Steam. They were hidden and not easy to find if you dont know where to look, but with help i found what i needed. Thnx
Worth noting that most of those two pages are more up to date than that; the number for the article as a whole is the oldest information found in the article.
In the case of the land warfare article, only 2 of the 19 versioned sections are versioned to 1.7
All the rest are for 1.10 or newer.
Overall on the wikis there are only 5 pages with content older than 1.10; 3 with 1.7 content, and 2 with 1.10.
The wikis will sadly never be entirely up to date due to how wikis work; the vast majority of actual updating is done by volunteers.
At 25 263 edits I've got the most of any user by far, but most of that is organizational work, not adding/updating content, and it is across all the wikis, not just EU4. The EU4 Wiki alone has gotten 66 425 edits, so my time is better spent ensuring that the massive number of edits not done by me are useful, than trying to single-handedly update the wikis.
