Well too late, Rome is dying of food shortage and I barely have any armies or resources.

i thought this ws the tutoral on how the troops move and cav and such not campains

[@robbyg1232]

@@roybradshaw4252 if you want a basic battle tutorial and map movement play all of the prolouge chapters they cover almost all of the basics.

[@kriwe4013]

@Dazza Egan Me neither, I dont even remember this video

[@Jesse-cx4si]

Lol. I simply glanced at my computer and lost Attila campaigns. So I’m really needing this tutorial for Rome II.

[@hannibalburgers477]

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

[@Real_SkyRipper]

Sparta doesn't have a port to trade, Spartans: "excuse me wtf? we did have ports, so much for accuracy i guess" XD, i just bought the game, great tutorial.

***** Thank you :) Just fired up Total War Rome II and put on your Attilla lets play great stuff :) We'll see what happens with Rome II i might pick up Attilla at somepoint. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

[@DragonHeart1791]

No Problem, I will be getting back into Attila with the new DLC called 'Age of Charlemagne' which will be released on Thursday. I'll also be doing a Tutorial for Attila at some point in the near future. Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos and finding my channel xD

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! :)

[@DragonHeart1791]

Hi Barry. Thank you for the comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful. Yes, I am familiar and have a guide on the first TW Warhammer here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ_GiqaZjKaaqpI There are a lot of similarities with both games, with the main difference being the use of magic in warhammer. Hope this helps.
