I like real time strategy games, but I haven't played many besides AoE, Starcraft and Warcraft, and I suck at them. Will Total War rape my virgin ass?
Which one should I get if I want to get into the series?

Start with Rome or Medieval 2.
It's pretty easy on the battlefield. Hammer and anvil sort of stuff.
No, not really. It's far more basic than a proper RTS and the Grand Strategy Aspects are also super basic in comparison to Grand Strategy games.
Best games are Rome, Medieval 2, Napoleon, Shogun 2 and Fall of the Samurai.
Play some of the more simple classics like Rome or Medieval 2, if you like it move onto Shogun 2 and Rome 2. Attila is my personal favourite due to the setting, and also the most challenging, but most people around here don't exactly love it.
total war is pretty simple, desu
Rome will be
Medieval 2 for top medieval combat
Shogun 2 for best ai and most polished
Rome for best nostalgia
Attila for a little bit of all mentioned above
Napoleon if you want the combat from that historical era
Warhammer for that fantasy kick + imo hardest campaign ive every played in a total war. Worse than legendary uesugi/very hard austria/anything
Empire and rome 2 not worth it
I wish they didn't get rid of armies led by captains
>mfw I failed the siege battle tutorial in Shogun 2
I'm such trash.
Rome or Atilla?
Napoleon or Empire?
Not really. For a tutorial battle that wasn't easy.
Atilla > Rome 2
Modded Rome 1 is great
Napoleon
Literally how?
all your units in shogun can literally climb walls how the fuck
No, they're way easier than RTS games. It's about actual strategy and not mashing keybinds and rushing resources and other gay meta-shit.
I don't know. I couldn't get past the first gate succesfully and they just kept slowly destroying my troops. It was either get slowly picked off right out of the gate or get my troops being ganged upon if they climbed the walls.
I was not born for strategy games. Sucks because I like playing them.
Well the siege tutorial is nothing like an actual siege battle.
That tutorial battle wasnt really tutorial level
fight on the frontline but have the kisho ninja sneak around and climb up the walls behind the castle and capture it
Anyone played this?
Well didn't play the tutorials. But usually, AI is so passive you just have to pick a weak side, focus on it and job is done with minimal casualties. Tutorial might have more intelligent scripts to them though.
Practice is key, try doing a strategy that works and suits you. Rush some of the infantry troops over the walls and 1 or 2 to burn the gates.
you'll be fine, med2 and r1 have best mods and still hold up well, attila is my favourite, FOTS is very fun, the rest aren't really worth it unless you are specifically interested in the setting. I for example enjoyed empire despite it being a broken mess simply due to the setting
my all time favorites are star wars galactic battlegrounds (AoE style) and rome total war
