This can't be any  more difficult than learning an early Paradox game, right?  :D

[undercovergeek]

you can learn the mechanics, all of them but there are still a few things that bite your ass that nobody can explain

Pretty much the standard three steps for a manual that's worth reading.

1) Paste PDF manual to Kindle

2) Read


It looks like it would take a lot of time for #2, however.     :))

^ That last comment bowled me over.

I think you were flush with excitement when you typed it.

Oh, shit. more crappy puns. There goes this thread down the toilet...

Darn, these threads do it to me every time...
I hit the install button again for my WitP AE copy...  :o

Have done this dance several times now and I still have no clue what I am or should be doing in the game.  O:-)

Those links Panzerde posted are helpful.  I've been watching the vids.  Although the recording quality isn't good, I can make it out enough to learn something.

This thread makes me want to start a new campaign and finally stick it through till the end.

[Yskonyn]

Yeah the video's are helpful indeed.
What I struggle with is that the manual only explaines what this button and that button does in a technical way. It never discusses the bigger picture of how to combine all those options into a strategy or explain the why of things.

It's like an engineers manual for an aircraft rather than its flight manual for pilots. ;)

That type of manual is ok if have a bunch of scenarios that take an hour or so to play.  But when typical scenarios can take months to finish, mistakes are not forgiving.
