What's One Beginner Mistake You Wish You Had Avoided?

I've recently been getting more into Sparta: War of Empires and realised how easy it is to waste resources early on.

Looking back, what's the one mistake you made as a beginner that you'd tell every new player to avoid?

Was it upgrading the wrong buildings, spending resources too quickly, choosing the wrong troops, or something else?

I'd love to hear your tips and experiences

A common beginner mistake is building a huge army too early. It feels like the fastest way to get stronger, but it usually ends up draining your resources, and those troops can disappear quickly in a few bad attacks or because you don’t have the economy to support them. I think it’s better to learn the combat mechanics, focus on research and city development, and build a solid defensive foundation first. Once your economy is stable, expanding your army becomes much easier and far more efficient. But if all of this seems too time-consuming and complicated for you, I recommend checking out this website  and its games. There are plenty of quick games that don’t require strategy or building up your strength. I’m sure this will be a great alternative for you.
