I just bought AoE 3 at EbGames. I did pay full price for the game but the clerk said that the Sybex Strategy Guide had just been "pennied out", so for $19.99 + $.01 I got both the game and the guide!
This sounds like a great time to buy from EbGames if you have been thinking about buying AoE 3!

The guide is useless as it is pre 1.06

Useless? I doubt it. Of limited usefullness because the game has been updated a few times I could believe, but unless the game has changed completely from its original release I am guess that useless is too strong a word.
I guess I'll find out, won't I?

Mmmmm... I doubt the book is totally useless. It probably still has some valid advice and for only a penny extra. It is a pretty good deal.

Hey, thanks!
According to the linked post about 1/3 of the book is of actual value, and I paid a penny for it. I'd say I got a true bargain! Thanks again!

how is the guide useless? It doen't even show civ specific strats that have BO's. and if you want units spreadsheets, xentalian has some nice ones. Guides are good general helpers
