Version: AoM: The Titans
This is basically a dump of most of what I've learnt over the last 6-7 months and hopefully it will help a lot of people avoid some of the many hours of frustration I spent trying to figure things out.
It is written for both Age of Mythology and The Titans Expansion.
It's a tad longer than the usual guide at 124 pages, but the first 80 of these are a quite detailed intro to the basics (where most of the frustrations occurs).
The Guide covers the following topics.

As a first draft I expect that it will need some corrections, but rather than getting them ad hoc via postings I would appreciate it if you could do a full review and post (or even better email) me the corrections (I promise to credit the editors in the next release).
The Guide also is lacking a section on Modelling (for non rocket scientists) (come of FlipBizCut just write a chapter or three) and the AI section is pretty weak, because to explain all the AI files I used for the LOTR stuff would add a couple of hundred pages and be irrelevant to another civilization.
Any way hope someone finds its useful.
