I started writing a guide once. But I never finished it. Not that anyone would want a guide from me, anyways, but my main problem was I couldn't just write a guide that says "do this." I'm anal-retentive to the point where if I wrote a guide it'd have to be like "In this situation, do this, but in this situation, do this, and in this situation, do this." Unfortunately there are over 100 different possible situations that you could find yourself in, varying from world speed and unit speed, to barbs/bonuses around you, to archers/paladins or not, to coins/packages, to starting next to n00bs or starting next to Purple and Jamm, etc, etc, etc. It's in general too much to write. If you lack the ability to think strategically, tactically, and to change your plans based on your situation, then not even the best guide in all of TW will help you.
