First question, did you read the
manual, such as it is? Maybe I can't expect people to do that, but it does help a bit..
Thanks for the comments. I can see why it'd be hard to understand the game. I don't have a tutorial or anything. The manual also doesn't fully explain everything. I just haven't spent time on that. Maybe someone who has figured it all out will?
Main menu confused me, a lot
I should make some sort of tooltip system.
To further explain my confusing-ness, I wasn't entirely sure what each button did and where I was navigating too.
I couldn't really grasp how to play
Hmm.
Couldn't make generals
Couldn't build forts
Try the mouse wheel during a production phase. It switches through all the things you can do.
Will try this!
Events always failed it seems (even at 80% success rate)
Unlucky I suppose, the random numbers aren't messed up and 80% chance does mean 80%.
I do tend to have bad luck
I couldn't tell who I was at war with and who at peace
You're at war with everyone unless they declare an armistice. If they make an armistice it lasts one turn, and you do get a notification in your messages, but I understand if you didn't read those.
I did. But I also couldn't remember which each region was called. Maybe make it so that region names are always on top of things, so I can see what "Central Britannica" is etc.? (Also not sure if that's an actual name...)
Enemies attacked my territories then declared peace in the same turn, making me unable to get back land
If that happened it must be a bug. Good to know.
Battles are... confusing
In what way? Is it that you don't know how to expect a certain result, you don't know why you won or lost, or?
It seemed to me that you clicked one of the arrows on your side to pick a strategy. But after learning these are random, I just happened to get the same strategy when clicking the same arrow, and I might be slightly insane
Hovering over generals lists numbers with functions (3 Defend Left flank) which makes no sense to me.
This is a list of the strategies you've seen that particular general use. It's only really useful if you know which strategies are good against which other strategies, so you can try to get certain generals of yours to fight certain enemy generals.
Is there a way to know which strategies beat what?
Whats a recon team?
What?
A recon team was something I saw either under a general's strategies or over a region with a fortress.. can't remember, will screenshot it sometime.
During recruitment it said I had 300 connected territories. Eh?
Hmm, must be a bug. I'll look at that one.
Associating flag with team was difficult
They're mostly historically accurate flags. And since everyone is your enemy, anything that isn't your flag is enemy. Also try pressing F6 to color the regions according to nation.
Good point!
Rebels are incredibly powerful
They don't fight better than anyone else, but they can be annoying if you don't have men available to stop them before they grow.
