I found it pretty straightforward honestly. It's a game that's going to take lots and lots of practice to learn how to do properly. It's a RTS (real-time strategy) type game. It's all about math, tactics, and multi-tasking. You're playing a general leading your troops into battle. RTS games aren't for everyone though, as they take various skillsets not needed in your modern day MMO and FPS games (which are widely more popular due to how simplistic they are compared to the RTS genre). It's like a brains vs brawns thing.
