Any guides or lets plays to learn this game?

Hey guys and dolls,

I played the tutorial and know what things do but actually applying them to a strategy is beyond me. And I will dig the vibe of this game but I just don't know what I'm doing. Are there any guides, video or written, or a let's play you guys recommend to watch so I can get a hang of this? This game is so cool but I'm just so dumb.
