Why do people like these games?

All you do is literally look at a map and call it a day.

What's it like having an IQ below 100?

You tell me, how about if you answer my question instead of using ad hominems?

that wasn't an ad hominem.
maybe you should learn what words mean before you use them.

Surprise. Every strategy game has always been staring at a map with some models representing things and numbers being run in the background to determine what happens.
>>
>>338187773
Just because you say it is doesn't make it true.
Please tell me how him asking you about you experiences of having below-average IQ is ad-hominem.

And remember:
>Ad hominem, short for argumentum ad
hominem, is a logical fallacy in which an
argument is rebutted by attacking the
character, motive, or other attribute of the
person making the argument, or persons
associated with the argument, rather than
attacking the substance of the argument itself.

I don't know, as I get older I am becoming more and more patient and turning more and more towards those kinds of games. Also started playing a little bit of chess lately.
>>
>>338188361
Yes, I do.
You are not making an arguement, therefore it cannot be rebutted.

Do you understand that there has to be an arguement before there is an ad hominem?

Ck2 is too deep for me.

why do people even like playing video games?

all your do is clicking a button at a precise time in a precise direction. What's the fucking point?

why don't you do something actually productive /v/?

video games is just a more exalted bashing-rock-on-another-rock for more developed cave men who live in their parent's basement instead of caves.

grow up /v/.

CK2 and EU4 are the most beginner friendly GS games.

Are you implying that someone with >100 IQ would enjoy that?

>>338186820
Not sure. i've got a friend with a few thousand hours in that game. it blow's my mind that anyone would find any part of that game entertaining. it's probably the dryest least interesting of all the grand strats. who gives a shit about micro managing familiys?

that friend suffers from an incredible amount of autism

I only played HoI 2, that was a decade ago.Tried EU3 but it's really boring.

But seriously now, people love boasting how smart they are just cause they enjoy GS.It's like them cunts that follow Black Science Guy on twitter and post Dawkins quotes on their walls, think that makes them intellectuals.I knew that the first reply will be this one
>>338186898

It's just a faggier version of farmville with sliders
>>
>>338190117

EU3 with mods.

EU4 is awful.

If you're going to be that retarded then you could take just any game and add "with sliders". It'd be just as true.

Why do people pick up gradening?
It's relaxing and soothing for some people to watch things grow and lovingly care about them, trim some branches here and there to make sure it's just the right shape, and so on.
Playing grand strategy is the same thing, but with war murder and slavery.

But literally no one does this.
No one struggles with MS Paint either.

I don't picture them as gardening at all. I like picking countries like Brazil in V2 and building them up to be world leaders as best I can.

You can think of both as large personal projects, tho, that's true.

If you can't understand grand strategy you must have mental problems
>>
>>338192497
It's a form of therapy regardless I think. You have a map of the world in front of you to shape to your will. It's like painting, gardening or any other hobby. People who get mad at not being able to get into them usually have the attention span of a slice of bread so yeah.

It's called an imagination filling in the blanks. If you ever played the game you'd know that.
