Andy, I'm a person in the same situation, and can say this is the VERY BEST forum ever. They have answered ever question I've asked (no matter if it's dumb or not!). As for me, I play my game until I run into a problem or question, then scan the forum and ask questions until I get it solved. Then I continue playing. If you like to play fast, my method may not be very good. I'm already 4 months into my first game.
