I'm new to strategy games...

Hey everyone. I decided to join because I don't know much about strategy games, but I definitely want to start playing them. Hopefully everyone can help me out. Thanks.

Welcome to the .Org an let me say that you made an excelent choice by choosing a TW game.

What game do you want to play?

PS before posing questions randomly, read the excelent guides on the .Org first. They will clarify the basics and some strategies that you always should keep in mind.

Are you thinking about starting with TW games, or just generally RTS games?

Well, games like Rome: Total War are far more complex than other strategy games.

Generally, it is a good idea to build economy at the start before building troops, because if you have a failed attack with a bad economy, defences and no troops stationed in you base you get massacred. Both in RTW and RTS games.

er, yes. Hello darkone

My friend won't shut up about how great Rome Total War is, so I'm definitely looking into that. More specifically, RTW: Gold Edition because it includes both the game and the expansion pack. He recommended it to me awhile ago, but I didn't think too much about it. But I've been reading up on it, and it seems really interesting to me. And I have yet to read a bad review or opinion about the game.
