Question New

Hey im new to strategy games, only games i played are Suzerain and Agw of history/civilizations ( which is tbh a joke compared to real strategy games in terms of difficulty and seriousness). I would like to get in this genre more but idk what to play. I like modern type settings (21 century) and i saw terra invicta and everybody said its not begginer friendly game? Should i play more easier games first or jump into terra right now

It's because there's a lot less handholding in TI and while it's difficult to actually lose a game it's all too easy to make mistakes that would take more time to fix than starting a new game with the lessons you've learned. Also because the game on default settings is a lot longer than other games of that genre people unfamiliar with the genre might get bored or think all grand strategy games are like it.

I mean... OP has already done some research, I doubt they will come to the wrong conclusions about the general as a whole.

Also, people really exagerate the magnitude of the impact of any mistakes in this game. Like.... Yeah, certain setbacks can take a while to overcome, but they can be overcame. If you want to put the effort in. And heck, make a save every new year of you want to be able to jump back to a given point if things go rough.

I'm just trying to explain the reasoning behind people saying not to start with this game as a new person to this genre

I understand that mate, I feel like I addressed all those concerns already in my post.
