This is a thread for Crusader Kings 2, to figure out wtf all the stuff does. When I started my game, I was overwhelmed with all the details and things I could do. An enemy army was attacking a province near me, I dont know if it was an ally or a vassal or whatever, but I couldnt control anything in that province. I tried attacking the enemy army with my army, but I lost 90% of my troops because I didnt know how to make the army bigger.
So TLDR: WTF is going on with this game? Are there any veterans that can explain how all the stuff works?

I have enjoyed Paradox games since EU2, and fell in love with them with Hearts of Iron 2. Been a fan ever since. CK2 is a great game, but it's such a unique take on a strategy game as it's so character focused.
It actually has awesome roleplay potential if you're okay making "suboptimal" choices to stay within character.
The game is still fairly new so the community Wikia isn't too fleshed out, but with most Paradox games it gets pretty in depth over time. Here's a starter guide:
http://crusaderkings...eginner's_Guide
I didn't find the game too tricky to figure out the basics. Learning about holdings and how they work, as well as titles and how to keep your empire together can take some time. I do highly recommend starting as a Count/Earl somewhere, just to get the hang of the interface and whatnot. You'll have much less to do (and hence much less to worry about), and it's easier to take in the responsibilities of being a Duke when you grow into it (by taking other people's land... hehe).
As a fun, brief AAR:
I was playing a multiplayer game with a friend. I was his vassal, a Duke in Spain. I had a female be my only heir, so I had a female ruler. I didn't realize I had to do a matrilineal marriage to keep my kids in my dynasty. So when I gave birth, I had huge warnings that if I died it was game over. I was also quickly pregnant again...
So I got the ol' Spymaster out and had him help plot to kill my husband. Which I did.
I quickly remarried matrilineally. But I still had that one kid... plus an unborn child!
I was able to assassinate the one. And then two days after my second child was born, he mysteriously died as well >.>
But the dynasty prevailed!

Started a game as the Count of Glamoragan in Wales. Made a claim for the local Duke's province, stripping him of his county (and his duchy). Now pressing into the Duchy of Gwynedd. I suspect I'll be the Prince of Wales shortly

Hmmm, going to war (especially a defensive one) shouldn't get you labeled a tyrant.
Were you revoking vassal titles or imprisoning people without cause at all?
