Is there a simple build to follow to get into this game? I find it very confusing and the tutorials confusing too. This is coming from someone from SC2, so not new to RTS.

Discussion

So, I am finding the tutorials online pretty confusing and not straightforward at all.

In SC2 for example, it is pretty clear what the build order is. On x supply do this, then once you get up to a certain point it is clear you just build more bases to mine and build more army and then that is it.

However, this game requires you to balance out where to put workers on what resource. However, the tutorials after a certain point in the start of the game don't make it clear at all how to break down the workers to what resource or what to ultimately build or work towards.

Is there a simple tutorial I can follow either for the English, French, or another easy civ that explains this all in clear detail what to do throughout the entire game? I understand a tutorial can't cover every single example.

But I really am going to need a little more than explaining the first 4-5 minutes of the game and then handwaving away everything else. Where do I put more workers late game? What should I aim to build late game? Do I keep building workers all throughout the game (clearly not, so what is the count I stop at. Since theoretically it would mean I would not be able to build much army eventually if the 200 supply is all workers), etc.. I really need a tutorial that covers all of this in the mid to late game as well.

Thanks if anyone can help point me in the right direction. I would love to get into this game but find it challenging to do right now.
