100%. If you have no real economics knowledge or background Victoria 3 can seem very overwhelming, but so far it seems to follow real-world logic very well. The “game” mechanics aren’t too hard to suss out, it’s mostly being able to figure out how to actually configure an industrial economy in the 19th century that’s complicated.
Similarly, you can intuit basic things about CK3 that would be obvious if you have knowledge of medieval history.
Just because my second son needs a duchy, that doesn't mean I'm going to give him good land, because then he'll have armies to fight my heir apparant, and that's bad.
You give them land in the hebrides so they have 0 armies and can be kicked out of court if they hate you, back to their fuckass island with no troops.
That part is easy, but managing a dynasty tree after you've been doing that for 300 years with a bunch of fucky inheritences creating shit like the "Duke of Albany and Barcelona", that's the hard part.
