How do you guys learned how to play grand strategy games from these guys? By playing the game blindly? Someone taught you how to play? With guides?

I just watched arumba play through his many campaigns. Learned a lot through that.

played the games blind but whenever something confused me I just looked it up on the internet
blind + googling if i recall correctly
Blind basically. Yet, I'm about 300 hours in on Europa and still learning but finally feeling pretty good as a player.
Finally had powerful colonial empire and control of Trade throughout the baltic and Rhineland as Denmark but misjudged Muscovy's strength during a civil war and lost Sweden Livonia and Pomerania and the St. Petersberg area in one bad decision just a few weeks ago.
So there is still alot for me to learn.
There are pretty decent guides for each nation on the wiki to help guide your grand strategy but for the most part you have to learn what all the numbers and charts mean to make it through.

Start playing it. If something confuses you or you don't know how to do something, look up a wiki

Hoi2 I learned by trial and error, for the most part its logical.
Eu4 has so many inane and counterintuitive mechanics, that you basically need to learn them beforehand, forts, straits, and liberty desire being chief among them.
Casuals, all of you. The only true way to learn grand strategy games is by playing them, not reading a guide.

its just a slightly more time consuming way
I watched a half hour guide video for Eu4 and 2 hours video for CK2, they're the only ones I got into. EU4 is actually quite simple.
Blind-ish
If I had any problems at the start I asked my m8 who had more experience.
STELLARIS HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I don't care for space games yet this is looking orgasmic.
Release date is too far away.
And BLORG aren't shown often enough.
I can't contain myself.

I've picked Uruguay because it was a innofensive and secure country played a entire game to understand the basics then started ramping up the difficulty
