Starting a game totally unprepared

[Surt]

What the game looks like for someone who hasn't bothered to read the manual, see any videos or take visual clues.

Its a pain to see.

it's not Rome total war, you will need to read and understand the manual to get anywhere in this game, unless you wish to be hammered and die a death early on with everyone wanting to wipe you off the map, no matter which side you chose

not reading the rules, understanding the game at all

looking at the map and seeing nothing and not even hovering the mouse over the empty map hex before walking into it, and you have no idea and lost badly, i'd say you were lucky to survive at all, in real life, they would have followed you back and took your head, so learn from it,

read the manual, watch the other video's online on how to play and learn, then you may enjoy it more, and maybe live somewhat longer

land is never unoccupied, learn the lesson, hovering over the area will tell you how many units should be expected to be defending, and tbh it will be more than you have atm so build before invading, like i said before, this isn't Rome total war, it's a sim more than a game, and without understanding it, you will die often and won't maybe enjoy it, i've still not read the manual, and maybe never will, then again i know the game inside out

my advice is never play online without at least playing every nation first in single player, as each play differently and then you will or should know what to expect from others and play somewhat better and survive online, your approach is maybe some what new so unless you wish to lose a lot and die in every game you play, i'd learn how to play first in single player and then and only then play online and post videos of it

I tried to watch the video.
This game is a superb & unique grand strategy game; & requires some understanding via the manual & the forums.
Videos by guys like 'DasTactic' are also recommended.
BTW, it shines in multiplayer as well.

I'm glad i saw a lot of videos before i bought it
