I'm in the Emperor training, and there are several beginner training threads going. I was thinking about what is expected at different levels of play?

This should be outlined if people are going to want to learn to improve their game to a certain level.

But what is the right info to teacha beginner vs an intermediate player?

I beginner can't be expected to know all the inner game mechanics that an expert would know, until they have mastered the basics right?

I would like to see a set of skills analyzed at each level, for example:

City Management
Beginner:
- which squares are best
- which should be improved first
Intermediate:
-How to manage number of shields produced
Advanced:
-By advanced you should know game mechanics well enough to..?

I hope some of the trainers will add their thoughts here.
