general tips n tricks for new players

[MaroonMaurader]

If you're not going for high-score or high-level, learning II and III aren't particularly good actually unless you're a Paladin. At best you'll do slightly better than break-even by the end of the game, but most of the game will be harder.

I agree that for an expert trying for a high score Learning is a critical skill, but for a new player just messing around? Don't bother.
