You have yet to master the autism required to enjoy Grand Strats like CK2

Am I a normalfag?

...

no, grand strategy games are just shit. I think you should stick to real games, not spread sheets.

You could have tried this shitpost in the /gsg/ thread.

GSG don't really require that much autism.
Usually you just gotta figure out each mechanism in the game and how it works, then make it do something productive.
You'll find that often the connections between each part of the gameplay are far more simple than you may expect and even the mechanics themselves are not that complicated.

Quite frankly, a lot of gameplay in GSG is there just so you actually have something to do instead of waiting blindly, and to pander to historicalfags that like things with the names they remenber from their history books.
History is cool, though

CK2 in particular is often hated by the fans because you can easily amass an army and start conquering places around you. After you start, you can just snowball till you own the world and most patches done by Paradox are just failed attemps at preventing this from being so easy, but they never work because they are braindead. The rest of the content is just for people to have something to do while in peace and to roleplay as. Indeed, some view CK2 and similar GSG as a good game to roleplay instead of playing it to win.

You want a game that needs a healthy dose of autism to master, try any 4X game like Civilization or Endless Legend. Those aren't particularly hard to learn but to master is another thing altogether.
Once you can win 40K Dust per turn or win a Cultural Victory using nukes, you can consider yourself good at 4X.

kys faggot

So how many times did you get rekt before uninstalling?

They ARE hard to master, gayfaggot.
Usually they come with a large selection of gameplay elements that all interact with each other in a net of choices, severely fucking with you in the late game if you made a bad move at the start of the game.
It doesn't take much just to play the game, but to actually exploit and abuse it, it needs serious theorycrafting, and if we are going "playing on the latest difficutly" or "playing against good players", then you got a lot of analysis to make to decide what's viable, what's doable and what's profitable.

This is why the meta for Civ 5 kinda tanked and it lost popularity, because it was braindead simple to really good players. But an average player won't consider "if I capture a new city, how long does it take to make up for the penalty to Science? Is it relevant before the game ends?"

Hi, custumer! I know exactly what Grand Strategy™ game you need, you filthy go- I mean… friend!

Maybe I will pick up Civ again, fun mix of history and some cobat etc

If I could only learn CK2 I'd roleplay to Jerusalem and back
