thanks for the advice! Your right the manual is frightening to read! lol Any other mods that I should include besides the combo 3.03 beta on top of 1.4 patch? I noticed there was a seperate rebalance mod but I read the combo mod has what was in the reblance mod and more? Thanks again!

Thanks for the tips guys, I am sure I will be back with questions. The seller told me where he got the game and they (Red Ant Enterprises) were nice enough to provide me with the manual so I will get the chance to read it. The seller told me he got it from them after he bought it but did not even read it and thinks he deleted it. He did search his drive for me but could not find it. I always try to read the manuals since so few games even come with one these days

I bought the game off ebay used and it came with no manual and none on the disc either. I installed 1.4 patch, set up combo mod 3.03 beta and am ready to go but I would like to know what the frak I am doing before I start to play. Any kind soul willing to send me a copy of the .pdf manual that was supposed to be on the disc? O reason I got the game? Well I loved X-Com and when this game came out i didn't get it because of the pretty bad reviews. I figure the patches and mods must have fixed a lot that was wrong by now and I have been reading good things about afterlight which I will get after this. I wanted to start from the 1st game though. Probably will get Aftershock next too. Thanks Zod
