Not a problem, it takes a while to get used to the flow of it anyway
Just remember that you don't want to research or attack on 600 land, you want to get to 1500+.
Getting your research done in a timely fashion really is the key to having some early success.
Of course it's fun to start attacking early too, but even that is easier if you have at least your colors primary spells (everything but the ultimates) researched.
