This is a suggestion for providing information to new players.

The current method of placing post to help new players in existing forums doesn't work for two main reasons.
1. New players don't like to dig through a lot of threads they aren't sure help them.
2. Most threads intended to help new players, tend to get lost in all the talk in the community.

This forum would give new players one location to look for information. We could create the primary threads,those questions that seem to be asked over and over, then the new players would have a good idea where to begin or where to post their question for help.

Thats why each topic would have seperate threads. Then you can read what you want with out anything extra.

Threads would have names like:
Building
Take over
Movement
Combat

and what ever the other main questions are.

No I mean like we have all done in the past. A forum with threads that provide specific information. I haven't seen the guide as it came out after I started, but the online manual wasn't very helpful for me. Based off of the number of newbies that keep asking for help I would say it isn't very helpful to them.

A number of players have started threads to help answer new players questions, but those threads get lost rather quickly.

How many new players ask the same questions, a lot. Yes some are willing to spend the time learning on their own. Others want to be able to get the information quickly. There isn't any one place a new player can go to get all the information they need. This thread would provide that.

If the online manual were fully up to date it could be useful but right now there are to many in accuracies. At least there was the last time I looked at it.
