I’m just struggling to keep my focus on the game, namely forming up a coherent play.

I seem to have decent success in playing for USA and gaining control, but beyond that, I don’t know where to go from there with my councillors.

I know I need to head to the moon/Mars to get a space industry, but, I suppose I’m got my map painting bug and want to set up, say combining North and South America, or forming NAS/CAU/SAU as three entities sorta thing.

But that’s more for my benefit, I suppose I’m looking at the game, at the opinions and feeling like I’m just doing everything wrong?

I suppose I’m just venting into the void at this point

Edit: it does seem that, at the end of the day, regardless of how I ‘think’ to play it, Terra Invicta is another game you ‘have’ you play in certain ways otherwise it punishes you for being in-optional and the like
