BUG crash course?

[DrakenKin]

Is there a quick tutorial / guide / crash course on BUG? Something centralized where you can learn on all the best features without having to read a big part of the forum or documentation?

Somebody explained to me the green bars and how to use them with slavery, and that was something great I had totally missed. I am wondering if there are other things I am not aware of that I should be using.

Second question : Why does BUG report each time a town grows or is about to grow next turn? Am I missing the importance of this information (how should i use it?) or is it just noise I can safely disable?

The documentation is the best source so far. The BUG wiki has an abbreviated version that highlights the main features that might be useful.

With the happy/healthy alerts, these growth alerts are less important, but some people might be waiting to whip until they get an extra population. I disable them myself, but maybe start by disabling just one of them (pending or actual happening).
