I know, I know. I bought the game a little late. But for months all i hear at work, is how great the game is. So its friday and i just got paid and went out and bought it. However, before i begin to get into it, i was hoping for some answers to the following questions so i didnt have to troll the many different websites and what not ( i could do that later). What race should a beginner use to learn the ins and outs of the game? What websites are the most helpful? Whose articles are worth reading? And tips would be great.
Thanks In Advance, Rx_Man

well this website is the best fan site
i would start with thor...
read all the guides u can in this istes strat section
IF you played any other kind of RTS before, i would recommend beginning with the greeks. Any greek.
It's like watching a flock of clown-like apes trying to navigate a ship, even though the ship has in fact been stranded on some kind of reef for about 7 years and none of the apes have noticed it yet. -Drahnier on OD moderation.

Hey, welcome to the community. I'd agree with shelper, start with the Greeks. Actually, even better, start with the campaign, it's awesome. Enjoy Age of Mythology.

Oh something else, I think the official strategy guide is fantastic, you may want to consider getting that too.

To check out my Age of Empires III Strategy Guide click here!
The price of my guide has been reduced! Check it out!
The biggest AoM Fansites are Age of Mythology Heaven, and Planet AoM, both of them have an abundance of great articles, such as guides to the different pantheons, general strategies and various tactics designed to benefit a specific god.
AoMH's Cherub ZhaZ has made up a nice Guide designed for people whom are new to the game.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask around in the forums - we are more than glad to help you out.
I hope that you will be an avid member of the AoMH Community.
To start out I'd say you should play the campaign first. Then play some Random Map games to ease in the Multiplayer community.

Ks_Josey_Wales has a very good article on his site but i dont know the link. I would reccomend starting out with Norse they i personly think are they easyest to play despite what other people think. AOM heaven is the best for learing and stuff i learned alot here.
I'd start off with Zeus if you've played games like AOK. Then do the campaign it gradually introduces you to the others so you can get a feel for them.

I didn't? Oh, sorry."
