I don't have a clue what to even start doing, so I end up just exiting the game and go out looking for more information trying to find that certain something that will make this all 'click' and allow me to enjoy that which I've payed for.ġ. Because quite honestly, I start a new game of CK2, and I stare at the game board and honestly. Perhaps if people wouldn't mind too much, they could list their first 10 steps that they do (or maybe 20 or however many) do when they start a new game of Crusader Kings 2 and why they do those steps, and maybe that will help me (and other newbies like myself) to get started into CK2. So, none of them have of yet been able to help me get started in a new game.

So, I've watched a couple of let's plays that have been put out so far on CK2, but haven't stumbled upon any of them that really teach the player how to play, they don't seem to mention what they are doing, why they are doing it, and why they are doing it at that time. I'm sure to some it might seem a waste of my money to keep buying these Paradox GS games if I can't figure otu how to play them, however I figure that I'm investing to keep this franchise alive and well, AND maybe one day I'll pick up the right game of theirs that things will just click and I'll figure it all out and be able to run back through all of the GS games that I own and play them, then knowing how. I've bought a few of their other GS games and have only ever manged to twiddle around in them trying to figure out how to play them, but never really figured it out. Well, I've bought another Paradox grand strategy game in hopes of finally figuring out how to play and have more fun.
