Thought to add this here rather than start a new thread.

So, up to now, I have mostly avoided doing Persian Positions. Just my choice as to me they are devoid of any of the fun that comes with player interactions.

But, now that Plarium has found a way to force people like me into doing PP's (if not going to miss out on troop upgrades), I'm not sure how to proceed. I've looked for advice and can find some conflicting stuff. So, my question is .. is this the best start point for someone with virtually no experience on PP's

or is there a newer/better guide out there somewhere.

Thanks
