Are Paradox games high IQ only?

[thespanishcel]

Never been into strategy games and just by looking at gameplay or screenshots they look like you need a fucking masters degree to understand what's going on kek. With all those menus, submenus, tabs, variables and ways to fuck up.

I have a friend who loves Hearts of Iron IV and even he says that Europa Universalis or Crusader Kings are too hard for him so he just plays Hearts of Iron. I have EUIV in my epic library (it was free like a year ago) but haven't played it because I know it's a waste of time. I've tried easy strategy games in the past like Total War (Rome 2, Shogun 2, Empire) and never got past 1 hour of gameplay.

Also why does it seem that Paradox fans are either stormfrontcels or trannies, no middle ground.

 

[TBIcel]

Probably because paradox games generally require a lack of social life as they are quite time consuming and stormfromcels and trannies are objectively society's rejects thus lacking in the social life department.

I played hoi 3 once and didnt understood what to do

Fair it takes several play throughs to get the hang of.

Hoi4 is quite simple and AI is so stupid.

 

[dOOmerbOI]

EU4 is hard. But worth learning it.

 

[weaselbomber]

Not really no lol, I would say they have a steep learning curve but that doesn't mean they're difficult.
I love EU4 and it's a rather simple game if you get down to the nitty gritty of it. My favourite is Victoria II and the only aspect that isn't baby mode is economy, because not even the devs understand how it works. There's literally a "magic formula" army composition that the AI doesn't know how to deal with and will just let you steamroll everything

I've tried getting into hoi4. It doesn't seem too complicated but I was never really interested enough to bother learning it.

Paradox fans are either stormfrontcels or trannies

Autism plus social ineptness
But if you put time into them, they get easier

 

[OwnerOpcell]

think stellaris is the best one so far

You just learn them by trial and error. If you unpause the game and keep going you’re eventually going to figure out what everything is and does

I like HOI 4 and HOI 3 BICE.

Paradox games, especially HOI4, while complicated on the surface are actually quite simple and much easier than Total War games. I learned through trial and error and observing other players
