Where should I start when making a Strategy game?

Hi I would love to make a strategy game like the one thats in the marketplace but i am a noob at this and it is just me working on this so i understand it will take a long time on everything. My main question is where should I start? Should I try to make a side scroller or like a top down Strategy game I dont mind if it takes a few months but just dont really know where to begin as i really have no expeirence But really love this stuff and am dying to make this stuff. I am using Maya LT and MudBox as tools. So any help on where to begin would be great. Oh and Im not Making games to sell lol i just want to make an awesome game after I learn the basics.

Oh im sorry i didnt know that. thanks for the heads up Jacky!
