English The Shattered Kingdom Manual

I was wondering whether anyone here happens to have the English version of The Shattered Kingdom manual? Whilst fixing up the manual of The Peasants Rebellion I noticed just how bad the English was in the manual which is why I began to wonder whether the manual that was included in the English release of The Shattered Kingdom perhaps used a better translation.

So what I'd like to know is if the text is written any better than in the manual of The Peasants Rebellion. Naturally if the text was better it would require either scanning or taking pictures of each page so that I could copy it over to the manual of The Peasants Rebellion (unless someone knows where I could find a PDF or something).

Sorry, can't help you. I do have the US release but my copy doesn't have a manual at all.
I think that's because my father bought it in some Asian country and it is an iligally burnt copy. (You'll be pleased to know that I purchased a legal copy of TPR through eBay)

Well you could take close up photos of the pages Litude wants. :D
What are the main bits your interested in Litude? The licence agreement for one. Anyway, it's possible that the TSK manual will have just as many mistakes. After all, surely the TPR one is based off the TSK one.

What I would be interested in (if you can take pictures):
- The license agreement (if there is one, if there is not please tell me though my Finnish manual does have one so I guess there is one too)
- The epilepsy warning
- The installation instructions
- One picture of any building page (not storehouse or school house though)
- The battle tactics pages
- The multiplayer game pages

I'd be very thankful if you could do this!

Hey Litude, I'll try to send you the English File for the Peasents rebellion Guide. I bought the game a long time ago online so it has the Adobe Reader game guide file. I'll try to send it.

EDIT: I believe that online one is pretty similar to the Old standard booklet. I dont have the booklet unfortunatly, so I hope this helps.

Actually I already have the manual for The Peasants Rebellion and I was looking for pictures/scans of certain pages in The Shattered Kingdom manual as I know for a fact that there are at least some textual differences in the manuals (that is, the manual in The Peasants Rebellion has often taken a turn for the worse in the translation).

I can't help you finding that manual.
But http://pc.ign.com/articles/153/153861p1.html says that the manual is well written. When it was really bad English in that manual they wouldn't have that in their rating.
