The Beginner Guide had grown to 507 lines across 19 numbered sections — a lot of scrolling for what’s supposed to be a first-days orientation page. Most of that length was duplicating detail that either already lived on its own dedicated guide, or belonged on one that existed only as an empty placeholder.
Rather than just splitting the page into new files, each section’s real content moved to the guide that’s the actual authority on that topic:
- Universal Shards and Command went from empty
NEEDS_VERIFICATIONplaceholders to fullVERIFIED_IN_GAMEpages, using content that was sitting in the Beginner Guide all along. - City Conquest, Capitol Conquest, and Alliance Shop each went from empty placeholders to pages with at least one confirmed fact, instead of staying blank.
- Arena, Resources, Hero Levels, and the Heroes overview each picked up a short section (Arena’s T1-T4 research-bonus pick, the resource-offer efficiency example, Hero EXP sources, and how to read a skill’s wording) that had been buried in the Beginner Guide instead of living with their actual topic.
The Beginner Guide itself is now ~190 lines: a short summary of each topic with a link to the full guide, plus the three sections that are genuinely unique to it — Early-Game Mistakes to Avoid, the Priority Order, and the four-line simplest version.
