FAQs
Strategy Games — answered
Civilization VII is the friendliest on-ramp: clear tutorials, short-ish sessions and a rules set you can learn while you play. If you want narrative chaos over spreadsheets, start with Crusader Kings III instead.
Paradox and Sega titles discount deepest during the big seasonal sales and publisher weekends. Captain tracks price history so you can see whether today's discount is actually the lowest it's been.
Most 4X and grand strategy games are CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound, so a mid-range modern CPU with 16GB RAM handles late-game turns far better than an expensive graphics card.
