Nope im in the top 10% of all vidya I play. Sucks to be you OP

Use the ledger before you declare war on someone bro

Give it a hundred hours or so of gameplay and you'll get the hang of it

that's not very impressive user, baselius isn't difficult

How is Karaman harder than Byzantium? Just ally the Mamluks lol

I absolutely love strategy games and i absolutely suck at them.
I just moved to a new place and now I can't win as often at the games I'm actually good at either because of higher ping making me lose corner firefights.

no its a strategy game

poland, lithuania and hungary is defo easier than mamluks

Implying you can even ally Poland/Lithuania/Hungary as Byzantium anymore
You just start out too weak. It's just you and Wallachia and maybe Theodoro/Albania/whatever. Though once you get past the initial bottleneck it's smooth sailing, I'll admit

I assumed you had it from when it was piss easy, but I played byz for fun and just had a decent start with albania and wallachia and it just didn't seem too difficult. Skanderbeg is broken

I really love CRPGs, but I'm kind of bad at them and usually struggle to complete them even on normal. I often even brute forcing or cheesing them by just smacking stuff with my fighter (or equivalent) until everything is dead.

For example, most people will tell you that Baldur's Gate 1 is harder than BG2 (due to lack of high level spells). For me, BG1 is easy for the opposite reason - enemies can't use high level spells on you, so I just smack everything until it dies and spam Wands of Heaven during every difficult fight (mostly right at the end of the game). However, BG2 for me is very difficult and I really struggle to get through it, while most people cruise through the end game.

>Not crippling Ming in the 1400s
You deserve it

Grand strategy isn't really about winning.

Wow I also do this with the rest of the main 4 historical games. I feel like this might be tard behavior because I presume if someone admitted this in a vg or v thread, you'll get called a tard or a loser.

Same, its kind of fun and also fuck around with major nations, destroying them, and releasing nations to see what happens if either those or outside nations gobble them up.

I'm somewhat decent at HOI4 but that's the easiest one to master out of all paradox games
Imperator is kind of easy for me, lots of RNG.
Same with you on EU4, CK2, and VIC2. I just cheat those games to have fun and mess around.

Does IQ help with strategy games? I play any strategy game and easily get a decent ranking after 100-200 hrs. I was diamond in SC2 after just a few weeks and I am ranked #580 in Age of empires2 after 250hrs. I cannot fathom how people struggle after 1000s of hours.

Took me 3 tries to get my current ironman game off the ground bro :'(
Skanderberg is broken, agreed. I also think just allying a horde of OPM's it broken in itself. OPM's get way too many troops for their size

Touhou in general. Terrible at shmups but I enjoy playing them, as long as I don't make winning my goal.
