It is always usefull to have someone to explain to you how the game works....
perhaps someday Gaming companies will realise this and make tutorials in which a player explains(in a vid window or something) how the game is played, not a useless narrator that teaches you how the mouse works:rofl: Again! yep I just saw a PC yesterday for the first time in my life, bought it, and decided to go play one of the most complicated games the second game.:rofl:
It took me more than a year of various failed campains to get the grip of vic, the best help came from the vicky wiky and of course the forum is always usefull to get to the especifics, which is the most important thing to know in any strategy game, and of course, it is always neglected in all the manuals...
Manuals will say something like:
People wont like more millitary expending...WHAT PEOPLE? single pops? All pops? what pops?¿ HOW MUCH THEY WONT LIKE IT? what will go up or down?? mil will go up? conciousness? by how much???...you never get anything especific. That is where the vicky wiky and the forums come into play.
It took me 2 hours to explain to my buddy how vic worked, and after 1 week of playing he was telling me things that I didnt know about. So best way always of learning how to play is get some guy that lives nearby to explain it to you, if that is possible.
That is also how I learned to play Europa Universalis tabletop game, which would have taken me like 2 years if I had to read the manual and do a couple of test plays...We got a guys that knew how to play it, and the same afternoon I was already being DOW'ed playing as Spain by the whole damned Europe...oh that is what I call historical realism...excellent game...excellent!
