I have NO idea where to start, so I am going to watch some YouTube tutorials. It looks really really complex
Just checked, I bought it in 2012. I have tried to get into it oodles of times, and always bounced off. I recently got it, after persevering with some lengthy YouTube tutorials, and love it.Achtung Englander wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 6:20 pmso I have never played CK2 and just installed it and this is my first impression

I had the same experience. The game is amazing but I still find myself utterly bewildered. I've been planning for a long time on getting back into it properly - I keep snapping up DLCs during sales so I have nearly all of them. Would be quite happy to grab a link off you for those tutorials to brush up a bit if you can send me 'em some time.Snowy wrote: ↑Thu Oct 04, 2018 5:29 pmJust checked, I bought it in 2012.

You've just explained really well why I keep bouncing off the game! I never could quite put my finger on what was bothering me but I think what you've said is a big part of it. Even if the races play to their theme, every campaign feels like going through the motions. I think the utter lack of actual depth to the campaign map beyond rudimentary settlement upgrades and a shit-RPG level of character leveling really makes the overall strategic situation totally boring. Add to that the fact you're usually surrounded by a myriad of minor factions of your same race at the start of every campaign, they all start off with at least 50 turns of fighting the same armies over and over.Snowy wrote: I didn't really get on with Warhammer, each race that would be vaguely interesting to play felt gimped - you HAD to play them a certain way, and that just sucked the fun out of it for me.

Would you (hypothetically, because I've not played the WTW games as said) agree, then, that the style of game that came out as Warhammer Total War would've suited more a WH game put out by the Dawn Of War people?Snowy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 6:48 amThat was the biggest turn-off for me Gibby, but a close second were the hero characters. One of the big draws for me in a TW game is the strategic battles, and I am afraid that battles where one or two almighty shitkickers determine the course of the entire fight just tore a lot of the strategy from the fights. It looked stupid too, a massive army surrounding one character hitting them over and over to virtually no effect.
For me, TW games have moved away from what I loved about them initially to cater to a different audience.
