I am not falling for the trap:)  Every time I see this thread and others surface again, I get the desire to play but just end up getting lost again...not falling for it this time:)

I always fall for it then smash my monitor in.

You guys make EUIV sound like its WitP complexity. Its not THAT hard to learn  ;)

[Nefaro]

Kushan's right.

EU4, and all the other such Pdox games, are very formulaic.

The mechanics, locations, characters, etc are all directly tied to number values.  Tooltips explain what they do.  :)

[Gusington]

It never clicked with me, what can I say?

For some reason I just can't grasp Crusader Kings 2, but EU4 is no problem at all.  It was definitely easier to learn than I thought it would be.
