General How long did it take you to feel “good” at a strategy game?

For me. It was longer than I expected. I thought after a few matches I would understand things, but this genre dragged me for a long time. It took me weeks before I even felt comfortable, not even good yet. These games require pattern recognition, patience, and experience. You have to lose plenty of times before sense begin to click. Even now, I still make silly mistakes. The learning curve is not friendly at all. If you don't have the patience, you will quit early because I almost did.

Feeling “good” for these games is not a quick journey at all. It took me months before I stopped panicking about every turn. That was when I knew I was hooked. The thing is, improvement sneaks up on you, one day you just realise you’re not making those silly errors again.
