Another new player here. Never thought I would go with this game. It was too steeply priced and seemed too daunting from the point of view of Hearts of Iron 2 Game Arsenal of Democracy CORE mod player but when I saw the 80% sale I couldn't resist. I got my Mark Herman's Empire of the Sun tabletop game that still awaits me to unpack it and learn the ropes. That game is scarrying me. Maybe jumping into this one was a mistake, dunno. If any of you own both, which one is harder to get into? Updated the game via its "Check for updates" button and then applied the official beta patch and the unofficial one. I also installed Andy's scenarios that I read "everybody uses anyway" because it fixes the scenario AI suppoedly? Hope that was OK for me to do. So far I have set up the game so that it works great on my ultrawide monitor. Seebees was of much needed help. Game really looks and plays great, much better then I thought it would. If only those paths, roads and railroads would be more clearly visible in the vanilla map! I think I prefer the visuals of the vanilla map to the Bellum Pacifica Kamikaze map mod that has great easily visible graphics for roads etc. and seems to be the best hassle free alternative to vanilla but doesn't appeal to me as much. I have my eyes set on Unified art mod that many people seem to like. Can I see somewhere how the game looks with it? Is it considered a necessary thing to have, does it improve the gameplay by making things more discernable perhaps? Tracker is the next thing I will install along with the game - will have to learn how to use it. First glimpse of it via youtube letsplays kept me utterly clueless but I suppose I will eventually get the hang of it. I have yet to start my first proper game - will go with the Coral Sea scenario first obviously but need to learn the basic commands for unit movements and stances ofcourse. So far I have been only checking different youtube playthroughs and have yet to tackle the manual which is my next to do thing. 300 pages, eh, crazy! :D I defenitely see how one doesn't have enough time in life for games as monstrous as this one as much as he/she would want to have it, he he. I am a bit worried though that I will burn out from all the needed clickfesting galore and data thrown in my face 'cos I am more of a visual type and not that capable of memorising numerical things and crunching numbers. [8|] Happy that I jumped into this one - let's see if this game too becomes a lifestyle of mine or if it leaves me cold.
