Yeah, there's a manual. If you can't find it locally, and you do buy it directly from Stardock, they'll will send you a boxed copy for an additional $5 shipping fee.

Yes it will be sold in the netherlands.

For instance www.bol.com delivers it between 2-4 working days and i've called Dynabyte and they will sell it from next thursday. For me both options take too long so i decided to buy the game directly from Stardock and since the manual is available online as well there is no need for me to purchase a hardcopy.

Btw i must admit that im downloading the game as we speak and its very easy and well arranged. Thusfar im a very satisfied customer.

I am sorry that you have not yet recieved your game, Telparion. Simply put, we have had far more demand for the product than we expected. We have been manufacturing more boxes, but it takes several days for them to get to us, for us to package them, address them and put the postage on, and to send them on to you. There are several sacks and boxes filled with packages right now, in the Stardock lobby, and I am sure we would be packaging more if we had more boxes.

I would certainly advise the download option if you just want the game immediately.
