Re: Hi, I\'m new! And.. uh.. help?
For a starter player I would go for a Dominon 10 Imprisoned Oracle with really nice scales. It's a valid strategy and you won't start with your king piece on the board so you can't lose it until you understand risks a bit better.
A nice Order 3/Growth 3/ Productivity 3 on Early Age Ulm is very forgiving - simply make a big barbarian horde and expect tremendous losses. You can try the different types of barbarians (I like Shield Maidens and Archers myself) and see how they stack up knowing that you'll produce even more troops next turn so the fact that inexperience combined with a disposable troop strategy will leave you with a big pile of corpses won't be game breaking.
Elite strategies are harder to master, since your army will contain so few actual units. Mistakes that cause you to take "more losses" are unacceptable when your army is ten units or less.
