I will miss opportunities to gain advantage, and some of the actions I take may not be the best. During my time in CK3, I will grudgingly come to accept that I can’t comprehend let alone influence every single little thing that’s going on in the bubbling cauldron of Medieval Europe. This is possible in, say, Civilization or Total War, where there are fewer variables and fewer potential decisions. Thanks to the tutorial, I know the basics of how to play, but I’m burdened with a habitual strategy gamer’s need to understand every variable and make decisions that are close to optimal.

Hence that hour’s worth of acclimatisation.
