I think that Victoria 2 and CK2 are definitely some of the hardest to learn pdx games, but HOI4 is close to the top.

    There are people who found CK2 harder to learn than Vic2? I found CK2 to be moderately difficult, but Vic2 was utterly impenetrable.

    And HoI4 is a weird one for me. I feel like I understand most aspects of it well enough to the point where I could be pretty decent at it, except for navies, which I find so difficult to understand and deal with that it kinda just breaks the whole experience for me.

      With navies, I just started to spam out the most modern screening ships I could with a mix of torpedoes and light attack. Then give them air support when you’re able.

      Is it the best navy composition? Almost certainly not. But when I screw up and send some of my fleet to the chopping block, it hurts less since the screens are replaceable.

      Hahahaha same, I have no clue how navies work in HOI4. I’ve been playing landlocked and/or minor countries so I don’t have to fuck with it.
