TL;DR If you're scared of women this game might be for you

Really intimidating at first. Watch some YouTube videos to help you get the basics of the game. Then once you have an idea of how you get started, it will still be intimidating, but you'll have an idea of where to go from there. Friend of mine recommended against this game, and the dev himself responded pretty shortly after, and from what I've seen Vic is pretty responsive, so when you see this, if possible, may a tutorial for new players? Not super necessary but at least something that better explains some of the systems.

Combat is still an enigma to me. Battles go off of Odds (so like 2:1 in your favor or 1:24 against your favor) but as for how the game determines stuff past that is beyond me. Still, generally speaking if they are stacked in your favor higher than like 12:1 you'll be fine

Game uses a Card stratagem system I feel like I've seen in other games but no name comes to mind. Pretty okay system imo.

Lets you build your units as you unlock them to suit your needs. Want a tank with a massive gun but ultra light armor? Want to have 3 different types of infantry with different equipment to suit your needs? Lets you decide all that stuff. Pretty neat.

The visuals look really dated, like somewhere around the time of the first fallout game maybe but i think it works in the games favor. Something about in depth systems and ♥♥♥♥ graphics just works, like dwarf fortress or that old Dune game for MS-Dos

There's a lot more than what I've covered and the game does a good job at not necessarily requiring you to learn them. Also gives you a ♥♥♥♥ load of metrics on how your empire is performing, none of which I am capable of putting to any use at this time.
