No playabel tutorial?

[Dark Messiah]

It really does not have it? Every Total War I played had one and it melded into the campaign nicely. I did not see anything in the menu :(.

The first few turns of the campaign kind of functions as the tutorial. It explains the basics of the game.

Ah ok, good. It has been a while since I played a Total War Game.

i didn't have a tutorial with the Vampires but my friend said there was one for the Dwarves. I didn't bother trying to find a tutorial and just winged it having played other tw games.

I played as the Vampires too but there is tutorial in the game but its very short though.

You need to set hints to the highest setting to play it I think

[Leonhast]

No real tutorials, but lots of help text you can / have to read.

[Dukie]

Yeah the tutorial isn't very indept, but if you got some experience with Total War games it comes rather naturally. Maybe for a new player of the series it might be insufficient, maybe.

When you select the faction leader of the faction you picked, the portrait of the faction leader has a little checkbox within the portrait at the top for the tutorial. No idea why they put it there.

I believe every campaign has a Tutorial, you just have to have it switched on (there's a tickbox) when choosing campaign and have the primary Legendary Lord (aka the Faction Leader) selected. I think it's there because I don't think you get it if you choose one of the other LLs (so you get it as Karl Franz, but not Balthazar Gelt.)

Essentially you get a special tutorial battle and then it guides you through the first couple of turns. If for example you start up the Dwarf campaign without it switched on, it basically skips that battle (though refers to it in the narrative intro on the campaign map) and gives you full control from the start in the campaign, instead of following a series of instructions.

All the Best,

For someone new to the genre altogether, it is very insufficient. When the vids show a sense of game play that was totally NOT the game that presented itself it was impossible to know exactly what should or could be done that ended in a lot of attempted actions, lots of reading, and no success. I didn't expect "point and click" but I did expect a tutorial that could get me up to speed. We'll be touring YouTube and Twitch and try again after. But that information should have been in the game.

Come and ask us :)

First time i playing this coming from Civilisation games and had the game now 4 days and still very little clue on how to play it despite searching for online tutorials. Very disheartened, would return it if I could :(

God forbid a game has a learning curve. Trial and error. Worked for me since Zelda on the 64.

[Nvidiati]

I think its really lazy of Sega to downgrade the tutorial. Because from the previous games their tutorials are more scripted and activily guide a new player. In Warhammer it's too chaotic and too quick. That it discourige new players and can frustrate them since they are forced to find most of the basics by themselves.

I was six when I was into the total war games and my English wasn't good. But it was thanks to a good tutorial from Rome total war 1 I loved this game. Because there they gave me the time and indications to guide me step to step.

The campaign is very linear and scripted.
