But like, I dont know what I am doing at all in CK2. Like, I stare at the screen unsure what to do, wait till someone attacks me, then die.Bad Jim said:I dare say you have already eased yourself into strategy games and playing a few more accessible games will not make it any easier to get into a game like Crusader Kings 2. One thing I would recommend though is playing a difficulty level or two above your comfort zone. This will make you more aware of the game mechanics and tactical subtleties because you will need to.Saelune said:I liked the original Command & Conquer, and Starcraft (never beat either though), and I love Civilization
I should point out that for pretty much every RTS ever, the most important thing strategy-wise is simply to keep your production going as fast as possible. It's usually quite obvious, but also a lot of balls to juggle in real time. It takes a lot of practice to juggle those balls, but it makes a massive difference. If you can do it perfectly you can beat the vast majority of Starcraft players without even considering real strategy or tactics. This is perhaps unfortunate, but it's the way things are.
I spent 2 separate games trying tooth and nail to kill my spouse, and it saying it is at 100% and being like "Why isnt anything happening!?"
Standard RTS base builder games are pretty clear on what to do, and its more about knowing what is good and bad against what, and resource management. With CK2, it might as well be in French.
