Gandalf, there are times when I really don't understand you. You do not post links to forums and channels because helping people is robbing them of the fun of doing experiments? Why force people to reinvent the wheel all over again. Or worse, to hit local maxima, when there are higher peaks to be reached.
(Note, when I read this I got a strange feeling, it feels a bit like those new age religions, where people do not help you because you need to figure things out for yourself. Which has lead to hilarious stuff, like a important writer of one of these religions asking for a link to certain magical documents. Which was then refused by one of the newbies because he needed to discover things by himself, because he was not ready yet.)
For help go here:
irc.gamesurge.net #dominions (A bit silent as of late, as some oldtimers have seemed to quit the game, but still frequented by a few excellent players).
http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/index.php?act=idx
This forum tends to be a bit more unfriendly than this one. So expect harsh language. When people think you are full of poo they will say so. Strangely, there are fewer flamewars on dom3mods.
These links also help a lot.
http://dom3.servegame.com/wiki/
http://wolfsbane.alwaysdata.net/Spells.html
However the wiki is based on vanilla only. Which can be confusing at times.
Edit:
I'm not a goon, but I do sometimes read the dom3 threads.

The intro threads are reasonably good. The rest of the threads can sometimes contain a lot of misinformation (For example, the myth that flyers need to make a morale check to attack rear if there are other units in the way. Sure there is a check, but it isn't a morale check). But anything thedemon says is usually golden
. (But there are a lot more knowledgeable goons. And the mods they use tend to be of the more is more variety. While CBM is more about less is more, and some balance).
