Also, attacking valleys is essential in earning needed medals. By giving people the valleys you are actually slowing down their progress instead of helping it.

Send them resources like already suggested, but please let them learn the mechanics of the game properly.
While i agree with you in the learning side, i must humbly disagree on one thing. Getting the valleys early on does not take away any learning experience, when they have the needed troops, they will do so on their own for thier second or third city. There will be alot of learning experience with other valleys and npc.
that is where farming npc and hunting medals comes in, there will be thousands upon thousands of learning experience there.

It is all about getting them a good head start and first claim to a level 10 valleys on the day the valley is level 10, not 5 to 10 days later when it turn to level 10 again.

Besides, evony has alot of excellent players, the newer players will need all the shortcut they can get, as early as possible.
