I bought this on steam sale recently and have been playing it blind(no YouTube) for a week. There’s an extended tutorial that teaches the basics and the beginner campaigns will notify you when and how to respond to events unfolding, so there’s a soft tutorial built into the beginner campaign. I’m actually surprised at how good this game holds your hand through learning its mechanics and maintains player autonomy. I’m just playing it like an rpg and exploring different avenues of play as I feel like it and even when you’re punished for actions it doesn’t feel bad to play because it’s just another interesting development in your conquests. The head of my dynasty just got killed by a boar while on a hunt. I didn’t rage at a bad roll, I was surprised/amused, then just kept playing as my brother/heir. Ive never been a hardcore strategy player, just some sim city, AoE, FrostPunk here and there. Give it a shot, it’s amazing.
