Hey there,
I've been listening to a lot of inspirational self-help style videos lately that say "Don't just give up on doing things you're bad at, but instead keep trying as long as you have fun with it". Best way to get into that mindset is to start with video games!
So... I am a very dumb person and never really got a handle on strategy games. Thing is though, I really enjoy games with historical settings and LOVE watching strategy game let's plays (especially for grand strategy games, like Europa Universalis). I've always wanted to get into these sorts of games but never really dared to as they looked too complex.
What's a good beginner-level strategy game that is still interesting and will still develop my … 'Strategic mind'? I don't want something braindead that even children could beat, I do want to get challenged. I am willing to read up on every little detail about the game (that's actually the most exciting part to me)!
I don't really care if you recommend a RTS, a 4X or a Grand Strategy game (though I guess turn-based games would be preferred). In fact, I've also loved watching people play simulation games like Rollercoaster Tycoon, or Cities: Skylines! Recommending me anything in that genre is cool with me.
(Just for reference, all I've really played throughout my life is Point and Clicks and games in any of the action genres - FPS, Action-Adventures, etc.)
