Strategy gamers are going absolutley ga-ga over RTW right now.

If this is your first game in the Total War series you might find the RTW a wee bit daunting. I played the hell out of Medieval Total War and I’m still finding theres a lot to learn in RTW.

So many little things you can control in your empire.. but don’t get overwhelmed! all those little things are what makes the game such a joy to play.

Unlike most deep strategy games you can chose to ignore a lot of depth in RTW as you chug through turns learning to play. That’s a sign of a strong game - allow control only if the player wants to take it.

But if you want to speed up the learning process by reading at work, Gamespy is taking a few days to post their RTW Strategy Guide.

It’s good. Enjoy.
