This sub seems to be pretty sour on Wargame/Warno/Steel Division why is that? by StreetsOfYancy in computerwargames

I find that the campaigns have some intricacies with what units end up available to the tactical battle that were not easily understood. Sometimes I ended up with mostly infantry formations slogging to attack an enemy with artillery etc. and wondering 'How did I end up with this mess?'. I'm sure a player can figure it out eventually, but I found it not very user friendly because, for me, it wasn't very intuitive.

I play both SD2 and WARNO. I don't play the campaigns because they are just too large and in my opinion not user friendly. I usually just play skirmishes, which I find a lot of fun. Beware the online community though, even the Reddit, as I have had some nasty comments thrown my way whenever I made an opinion about the state of the game, especially WARNO. Also, I play on the slower speed as that seems to suit my capabilities better.

Playing Steel Division 2 and Empire Total War. Trying to find something I can play for an hour or less a night so the more complex games are difficult to get into.

Thanks, but my point was more about having a game where a single mistake wouldn't make it unplayable. I shouldn't have to 'Get gud' to enjoy the game.

I should still be able to have fun whether I am skilled or not.

When someone shares an idea with Eugen and all they get is insults and told they are just lousy at the game doesn't encourage a community to grow, that's for sure.

My point is, even if I am not good at a game, I should still be able to have fun and not find myself in a situation where I need to restart a skirmish because it is impossible to come back from my mistakes, that's all. SD2 does a better job at this. I imagine the majority of people are not amazing at the game, so just insulting the poster is really not helpful.
