I thought of another thing to add in. I don't know if you consider this to be the "Megaprojects" section, but      Mechanics
It should cover everything from making a screw pump, to creating a water based clock. Mechanics is often overlooked in most of the tutorials I've watched/read and is considered something for more players who know all the basics and can execute on those basics. Considering this is a guide for all skill levels, all levels of mechanics should be included.

Exactly.

Suggestion:
In my experience, figuring out what do do with things wasn't really a problem. It was figuring out how to do those things. As most people on these forums know, the interface is a very tricky and maze-like system. I suggest one of the first things on the guide be a description and map of the interface. Maybe in the first tier you have on your guide, place things like how to use the designation, stockpile, build, zones, viewing (q menu, v menu, k menu, etc.) and announcement windows. In tier two, the units, orders, military, and status screens. In tier three the civ, orders, and zones. And in tiers 4 and 5 put the other menus that aren't used too too often.
Also, maybe just have a seperate section for an entire map of the interface, so people who want to can see the entire thing in one place.
Other than that, good job.

Schist. Wanna know why? Because I imagine traders approaching saying
"Holy Schist!!! That is one brown fortress!."
I also like the brown color.

Did you really give my guy 2 swords, or are you just putting in flavor text? If so, then you pretty much kick ass.

He never picked up a shield despite being ordered to, so I gave him a second sword to compensate (though in-game he only uses one at a time). I figure it fits his angry personality.

As he looked out the window and into the surrounding lands, he decided now would be the time. His Empire would grow great once again, whether it be by diplomacy or force, his Empire would be the shining beacon of civilization it once was.

After watching the people in the city go about their day for a little while longer, he returned to his desk. He unrolled a peice of parchment, grabbed his quill and dipped it into the ink and wrote down his orders.


Place labor on:
Tiles 5, 4 (Plains w/ river) + 6 food
Tiles 18, 17, 16, 7 (Forests) + 4 food + 4 wood


Final Resources: 10 food   4 wood   -6 labor

Build Quarry on Tile 12  -2 labor
Build Hall of Learning  -2 wood  -2 labor

Labor: 10/10
Food gained 10/ Food eaten 10

Total:
2 wood

I say we just continue on.
