ORIGINAL: Canoerebel Hey, Taxcutter, thanks for posting the AAR. I'm glad you've joined the community. I have a prediction to make. If you continue to find the game involving "turns and turns of boredom," you'll leave it soon enough. If you come to find that every turn is exciting, whether there's combat action or not, you'll stay. I love every single turn of the game, because I'm planning so far ahead, and taking the little steps that turn into big things in three months or a year, and watching things happen, and trying to gauge what my opponent is up to, etc. Some people find backpacking the Appalachian Trail extremely boring and tedious. They stick in ear buds and listen to music. For most of us, the chance to think and study and mull and observe and relish the thought of the next cold spring or lunch or break on the top of the mountain means there's never boredom. Ever. Different strokes. +1 I'd only add this: different strokes can also take the form of AI vs PBEM. There are a lot of great players who exclusively play against the AI. For me, it tends to be a diminishing return. Before dropping, I'd advise giving a noob-friendly PBEM game a try.
