is absolutly horrible. Even for the vanilla game it is horrendously pathetic. I was not expecting something in depth, but it should at least teach you the mechanics. This one does not. Just horrible.

The scenario does leave something to be desired, but the game itself is pretty fun. I'd highly suggest picking someone strong in Ireland (earliest base game start), and learning from there. Ireland is generally pretty safe as a nation, and you can learn the basics generally unimpeded there.

Paradox's strong suit has never been with tutorials in all honesty. If you're looking to learn the game, watch Arumba's old tutorial series on YouTube (or anything else dated Way of Life or later) and read the Wiki or ask here when you get stuck on something. If nothing else, just keep on playing and it'll come to you eventually.

I agree that the game is fun. I restarted the Scenario three times to get past the Merc part (which I felt was poorly explained). It was a stark contrast to the Tutorial in hoi4, which walked you through the basics without much resistance. True after that you have to read and play a lot to get the details, but I like that.

No matter, I got through it and then my first hier had a huge uprising and lost everything :)

I'm glad I'm the kind of player who searches for "[game name] wiki" on Google before playing a game. And the CK2 wiki is mostly wonderful. (Actually I have read all articles on StellarisWiki and most articles on HOI4Wiki, despite I haven't bought either :D )

I don't get why they still keep the horribly outdated "advanced start guide" though. Reading it does provide some insight on how free the game system is/was, though, so it's not completely worthless.
