Re: Neophyte looking for game for beginner.

Heritage of Kings is #5 of "The Settlers" and I guess it would be a
strategy game as you have to build villages, etc.

When trying to understand the different genres, RPG was the only one I
understood. So it isn't Strategy I want. Here I was thinking strategy
meant thinking and planning. What is the genre Adventure?

I think I will go to several websites and read the descriptions to see
what might suit me? The games you suggested will they serve to teach
someone who is absolutely clueless about these types of games? I need
somewhere to begin.
