Proper multi-level tooltips can do far more to teach the user in 4X and grand strategy games than a chatbot can. It’s pretty much how I learned to play AoW4.

We had been chatting about these Gen AI survey findings and wondered out loud how it would be a good use of Gen AI if [eu5] asked you about your experiences with other specific 4X/Grand Strategy titles and dynamically generated a short tailored guide and tutorial for the new mechanics based on your existing knowledge
This is a terrible use for genAI. There’s like 4 major 4X games out there that payers have likely played, and it shouldn’t take that long to curate a tutorial for each. And you really don’t want the bullshitting machine telling your player about mechanics.
The GenAI hype is so bad that even an article saying that over 80% of people hate it has to squeak in some shilling.

Can’t wait for the AI to start giving me tips based on a previous entry in a series because that’s all it knows about, referring to mechanics which no longer exist and set-ups which are no longer possible.
