useful update and a good idea, I agree, I'm one of those people who stumble on the religion screen almost by accident and then start to work out what I could have done (usefully) a while back
thanks for taking the time and writing this AAR
Nice beginner's guide. Too bad it wasn't around when I was playing my first game as England, spending 30 minutes trying to figure out how to annex their provinces. >_>
You ever going to pick that Athens AAR back up?
This may be a very dumb question, but I suppose that's why the thread was created. What is the difference between Fire and Shock? More importantly, you mentioned Offensive Shock? So how does Offensive and Defensive Shock work?
I've been playing this game on and off for a while now, but want to get more into it. There's just so much I don't know!
Gella, amazing job. Thanks so much, this is really what I, and obviously many others really needed. You helped a lot of people get enjoyment out of something they needed help with. That's pretty damn positive and no small thing, my friend. I'm only on chapter 4 but feel I know so much more than I did before, really enjoy the light hearted Will Wright (1st sim city) take on it. Gets a little heavy sometimes, think that may hurt noobs like me, and that makes it more accesible. And also, the comments left by other, experienced players have some great info. TY, too. Great,great job, thanks for all the hard work and time, Gella.
Hey! You should do one of these for CK2! Ok, now I'm getting greedy......
Just reading and applying Gella, when I feel like I've got the hang of most other stuff, will not hesitate to ask if anything is still odd. Much more abstract than HOI, I almost feel a bit handycapped from other war game experience. With these types I have to keep reminding myself, "this is not really a war game, your old rules don't apply". These really don't have anything in common with civ, aoe, etc, even HOI.
