So I got the game as I was recommended to get it, and of course it offers you to play as many sides. I admit, I was tempted to pick Japan, but I figured for a first play its best that I play as a main character, so I picked to play as Hitler.
Right after game starts, there are so many buttons and its a bit difficult to find whats what until you get used to it.
Right away, I started building military, air force, bombers, tanks, ships...
I am still not sure how resources in game work, but apparently, game lets you pick to build military factories or civilian factories on each territory, but I built mostly military factories.
I kinda dislike the fact that it takes such a long time to declare war, but I guess thats realistic as it takes time to convince the public and build up justifications for war.
For a first time playing, the game is very confusing as it bombards you with too many buttons to click on, and it takes a long time to click on each to see what each does.
But so far it seems simple: build strong military, declare war, and conquer.
I am not sure how beneficial it is to build bombers so early in the game, as I think I have more bomber planes productions lined up than I have for anything else.
However, I like the game so far as despite being complicated, it also has simple elements to it and I dont think I can fail if I just focus on military.
