Total War Tutorial for Beginners (Rome 2 Edition)
Ойындар
Hello everyone. In September 2014 I released a Tutorial for Beginners video which focused on Total War: Shogun 2, the guide was well received and many people commented saying that it helped them understand how total war games worked and if I would produce more.
This feedback has been invaluable to me and has inspired me to start creating tutorial videos on my channel. It's always great to help somebody and I will strive to do this whenever I can. In this video I bring you the enigma that is Total War: Rome II
Thank you for watching.

Food mechanic is why I stopped playing TW games. It made sense in Shogun, as in that period food production was more important than trade. It does not work in any other game
This is one of the best in-depth, easiest tutorial's to understand. Well done DragonHeart.

Excellent beginner tutorial. Just bought on Steam last night, so nice to get some tips before playing a campaign. Are you familiar with the Total War: Warhammer series? If so, are the army movement/battle commands the same in Rome 2? If so, the learning curve for Rome 2 just got much easier for me. I was a bit confused in the Prologue battle screen by the army formation options. Do you have any other video that explain these in more detail? Many thanks! :)

10:00 one little thing u should have tried Athens again . if you negotiate a deal with any factions ally they like you more (vice versa is also truth ) Athens is friends with Egypt Kreta Sparta . so if u get deals with any of them u get like +10 relationship and can try brake a deal again . just a little tip for newbies .
