Is there a manual for Europa Universalis II on the web? I bought the Strategy Pack 6 and so need manuals. (I am getting beaten on easiest difficulty with England and Castile.) I have checked around on the web quite a bit including paradoxplaza.com . My email address is young@fastchip.net , but I will also check back here.

I don't think there is a manual on the web, but there are several which you can download, i will add them here as i find them.

EDIT: Fodrons introductory guide to EU2: download here (seems the link is not working right now.)

also, take a look in the FAQ section: here

slightly old: beginners guide

and if you just want the official manual, then you can ask in the technical support forum.

I also bought the Strategy 6-pack, then went to the hassle of contacting their support (note NOT Paradox) to get a copy of the pdf manual (the one on the CD is missing every 2nd page). I shouldn't have bothered. Fodoron's FAQ is much much better. I suggest you read it once a month for the first few months that you play EU2.

I believe the 6 pack is patched up to one of the later patches already, isn't it? If that is so, then the original manual is not that useful and may even mislead as many things have changed.

It's better to just search the forums for answers or ask someone here.

I can't believe this happened again! (they had the same problem with the EU2 included with CoTN...)

Anyway, Strategy First posted a fixed manual here, but as others have said it's not overly useful. I still think it's good to read it through to give a broad overview, but don't try to use it as a reference (FAQs are much better for that).
