can't say i find the 'help for new players' on the forum very helpfull.

...took me a few days to find out how most things work.

my tip for new players: go to: governor> topics and read all the stuff here with care, cause the short guide wont help you much. especially the part on races is very usefull to start a strategy for yourself.

note that most tips that are given on the forum are disputable, so you will just have to find out for yourself...i guess thats part of the fun...
