@Jim @JubtheNub in general triyng to get into complex sstrategy games takes a commitment of couple hundred ours to learn how to play at a basic level of competancy and enjoy yourself, all i can do is recommend watching youtube vids of the game you're interested in, anyone who likes to describe what they're doing and why, otherwise it's like ramming your head against a wall not understanding why things are doing what they're doing and what you wanna do just won't work.
