I understand the excitement for the game. I am just not a fan of Paradox development style. Pretty sure I still have scar tissue from pre-ordering Hearts of Iron...

Paradox: Designers of soul-crushingly complex games.

I own several versions of Hearts of Iron and have never finished a game. I know I have Vicky 1 and probably V2. I finally came to my senses and stopped buying Paradox games during Steam sales.

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

If there’s an adequate tutorial on the economy and how to do things then I may be in

In the MP game I had with tuna and barthheart (I think) I never got anywhere close to unifying Italy or been able to declare war on wayward Italian regions

I have Victoria II, but have not played it.  I do love Paradox games though.  I find they are of varying degrees of complexity.  Some I grok.  Some I do not grok.  But the ones I do understand, I have 1000s of hours in.

Wasn't that you, me, and Tuna?  That one was Pride of Nations.   Anyway, it doesn't really matter if PDOX makes a tutorial because 3 months later, the bastards will release a patch or a DLC that completely rewrites how the economy works and the tutorial will be worthless yet still present in ingame links, leading to even more confusion.  They do this will all their in-house games.  Drives me nuts.
