What Would Really Help New Players

If I sat down to write up Pangaea with the usual suggestions that appear here... then of course there is the Pangaea and blood magic subguide, the Pangaea and stealth armies subguide, the Pangaea and Carrion Woods theme subguide, and the Pangeae New Era (mostly see the heading under Ulm) with a few notes.

The Jotun walkthru works with the demo and I think will remain the standard recommendation at the moment. Maybe one for Ulm would be good. Other than that the best bet is to tell us a nation/theme and we will gladly overload you with debate about the best way to progress.

hm i think pan cw and ermor ae are very good newbie races because they are so straightforward .
of course to play them really good you need lots of strats with them .
but against the ai they are really good .
ai is bad against ermor + cw .
especially ae ermor needs in sp only 1 magic path : death
