Cheat Engine

Hello everyone . I am new to cheat engine and this forum so if i m posting this incorrectly then pardon me. I have tried few tutorials of cheat engine and
I have come to know about offsets. I want to know what are offsets and how do I use them. I tried making a trainer for the game Pharaoh but I m having trouble in finding offsets. Here is a screenshot of my cheat engine.
I tried to work like the tutorial said "example of a more complicated instruction:
[EAX*2+EDX+00000310] eax=4C and edx=00801234.
In this case EDX would be the value the pointer has, and EAX*2+00000310 the offset, so the offset you'd fill in would be 2*4C+00000310=3A8. (this is all in hex, use calc.exe from windows in scientific mode to calculate)"
so according to this offset in my pic should be eax+aa187c and eax = 49d8
so i used calculator to find this in hex and i found AA6254 but this is not correct offset, atleast I think because the pointer made using this offset doesnt point to the location I want it to.

this isn't a real pointer, this is mostly a static address (well, you could say that 004e96ad is a pointer)

but for your uses, it's a static address (00ea187c+49d8)
the thing is figuring out how EAX gets it's value.

if it's always 49d8 then it's always the same address

I didnt understand a word you said... please explain.

Your screenshot shows something basic where there's no actual offset.
