Advice on learning the game

[Ignus]

Sorry about my silence gentlemen, I've been stuck working pretty solidly. Boo!

Anyhoo, I have had a chance to read what people have been saying and it has been rather handy. Especial thanks to rdonj and your big wall of help! Thanks to that I have felt a bit more in control of my latest SP game. I've also found sticking to one race for a few games kinda helped as well.

Next step is to join in a practice MP game as soon as my work is done. (Again, boo!)

Good to hear Yeah, sticking to one race until you win is a good plan. You can see what worked and what didn't work, and adjust your build accordingly. In time, you should feel reasonably comfortable building a pretender for any nation. Or you can just always play one nation, though it can be hard to do that in MP.
