I know there is pinned post called links with rich information, but what about making a pinned post called 'HOWTO: Easy steps for newbies' or 'HOWTO: The Guide for newbies'. In this post it could contains how to do the diffrent things, but in a very simple and easy explained way and short.
It could be something like 'HOWTO: make your mage only cast spells in combat', then people can click that link and a short briefly description tells them to click on the 'Army Setup' button and click where it says 'Click here to set battle orders'.
That could safe many troubles
