whats a game that you got significantly far into, only to realize you were doing something wrong or missing a key feature/ability altogether?

Black & White

It has a mechanic where you bless a stone, then throw it across the map, and you get to build and influence an area around the rock. Basically it is the only sane way to expand.

I did not know. I spent painstaking hours slowly growing my village trying to get its area of influence to spread into where I needed to go.

You can also throw that annoying immortal guy who somehow allows you to use your powers around wherever he is

Oh man, it's time to give this game a replay one of these days.

Oh my god I never learnt this! That would've made the final level so much easier

I may have misunderstood, though. This is my vague memory of a friend trying to explain to me how I was supposed to have played the game after I gave up and uninstalled it long ago.

If you use your godhand to place a boulder in the midst of one of the villages worshiping you, the villagers will start praying and dancing and chanting and whatnot around the boulder. After a long enough time with the villagers charging the bolder, it would radiate with your divine presence. At this point, it is a ready "artifact".

Artifacts don't expand you influence zone directly, but they do a really good job of getting non-believer villagers to start worshiping you, which does extend your influence in a major way.
