Hi new member Buck here

New to the game. Playing single campaign game RTW-BI after a couple of easy RTW trys. I have only played in the strategy mode because my tired old mind can't keep up with all the on screen action of the battles. Got plenty of questions but catch on pretty quickly if not too complicated. I like complex games and am so far enjoying this one.

Welcome aboard, Buck.

For RTW/BI basics, frogbeastegg's guide is essential.

Here it is, assuming you haven't seen it.

Welcome to the Total War Community and hope you enjoy your stay!

If you're new I recommend that you play Rome:Total War without the expansion first. It is much less difficult than the Barbarian Invasion expansion pack, and it is less punishing: in BI you can make a blunder and lose the whole campaign.
