morciu: Be prepared to be really confused at first with EU3, while the game may be great it has one of the worst tutorials I've ever seen. I played through the tutorial twice and I still have no idea how to play the game.
keeveek: You should never use tutorials in EU games. Mostly because the tutorial doesn't get updated. After several patches, tutorial is already obsolete not to mention multiple expansions. The only way of doing things with P-dox games i to read the hints that are displayed the first time you click on something, or watch Youtube videos of people playing the game.
It's inconvenient for new players, but it's the only way...
and also, what Titanium said - trial and error. Paradox games, at least for me, are also fun in loosing. It's always fun to see how the world reacts to what you're doing. (Usually the whole world hates you after a while, when you don't really know what you're doing :D)
Bloodygoodgames: Also watch some of Quill18's gameplay videos no matter which Paradox game you end up buying, as he'll have done a gameplay video on it.
He's the best Paradox gamer online (so good in fact, Paradox paid for him to go to Sweden a couple of months ago to learn all about their upcoming game Europa Universalis 4), so I watch all his videos as he gives great tips, explain why he does what, and really gives you a good handle on Paradox games (which are a NIGHTMARE to learn on their own).
