The Absolute BEGINNERS GUIDE for TOTAL WAR Warhammer 2021
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 май 2021
- With all the news about Warhammer 3 I thought it was a great time to make a guide introducing brand new players to the game, and some very basic need to know info. This guide covers the starting factions for both Total War Warhammer I & II, the different game layers, and a brief rundown of some simple tactics. Enjoy!
I'm looking to make more guides in the future, so make sure to leave a comment and tell me what parts of the game you want to learn more about!

Total war hammer 2
People really take for granted the initial hurdle a complete beginner has to get past. The UI and terms really are overwhelming the first time you play, and I 100% recommend picking easy the first few campaigns to get space to learn and try stuff.
Couldn't agree more, there's no shame on playing Easy difficulty! Even after a thousand hours there's still new things I learn in this game all the time
Yeah I’m a 100 percent new player to this genre and haven’t even played many management sims or rts games due to being on consoles most of my life got a pc and saw the total
War warhammer 3 trailer and loving Khorne from the table top I felt like I had to learn this game. I’m getting it slowly but I’m making sure I take other game breaks to not overwhelm myself at once. Luckily RUclips I can listen to as I play other games (I also got endless legend and all its dlc ….:my plate is full)
@@rykersixx If you find the game enjoyable it's really easy to hang in there even if things seem overwhelming at first. I remember staying up a whole night playing greenskins back when I was new, just being immersed and slowly trying get the hang of things in normal mode.
You shouldn't need to force yourself to play just to understand how to play it. Like I said in my original comment, make sure you play on easy until you get a feel for things, or else the AI might show up and corner you while you're still experimenting.
@@Srab23 right now the things I’m trying to figure out is mainly how to manually succeed at siege battles and campaign map things like “do I have too many armies?” . Right now I really like tomb kings but they seem to have a slower start than the other factions I tried. I’m mainly trying to learn before 3 so I can really dive into Khorne
@@rykersixx Tomb king may or may not be newbie friendly but the most important part is that you think the faction you're playing is cool.
The other things such as how to win seige battles and how many armies to field just comes with experience, and it wouldn't hurt to do some battles you would overwhelmingly win with an auto resolve manually if you're feeling insecure. Especially if you're trying out some new units.
Your script for this guide was seriously elegant and well-written, man. good stuff.
Thanks so much! I try to put a lot of time into these so glad it's appreciated :]
This really was an amazing guide. im totally new to WH and strategy games like this and my friends have been harping on me about WH3 for a few weeks now. This guide definitely helped me understand, thank you !
Awesome, glad to help! I hope y'all get to try the new co-op campaigns together
Thank you for this guide mate! About to jump into the third without playing the other two with a friend of mine who is a vet. This really helped :D
It's an exciting time to start playing, you're in for a treat!
Less than 500 subscribers! That can’t last for long. Excellent video, mate
As someone who has been a WH40k fan for a long while, I've really wanted to get into these games but they've bounced right off. I like Civ and similar games, but there is just soooooo much you need to know before you can even begin and it's thanks to my friends for being patient and videos like yours that give the right amount of handholding. Some stuff I've figured out on my own, but your videos have been super helpful in getting this to finally stick with me!
Over a thousand hours and I _still_ learn new things about this game, it's dense to start but I'm glad I could help you get into it! An absolutely fantastic game!
Very good video. The best intro guide for this game
Incredibly helpful. Your writing is also hilarious, thoroughly enjoyed
So glad it helped (and that you liked my weird humor!)
Very nice and funny video explaining the game.
Thanks for the guide!!
You're welcome!
I just bought all three Warhammer Total War games from Steam in a sale, and I am simply to dumb to learn how to play it. I've started to look up videos like yours to help me understand how to control the armies. Warhammer Age of Reckoning was an MMO game i very much loved, and I have played Warhammer Return to Reckoning for many years. So I know the universe, just not the controls. Thank you for the video and trying to help people like me who are just not able to grasp the control elements of the game. You just got a new sub, I hope your channel is still active.
Thank you, I'm glad it helped! Still active though working mostly on the streaming side, hoping the new patches will breath some more life into the game so I can make more content for it
This was good stuff
Just bought Warhammer 1, a very helpful 1st guide. Thanks a bunch.
Glad I could help! Enjoy the series!
perfection sir! you earned a like : )
Thank you :]
I've been trying to get into Total War for so many years, but these games are so overwhelming. I'm pretty good at games too. I just can't get pass the learning curve. I even bought Warhammer 1 and 2. Played for 16hrs and quit because I was so loss and it was taking too much time. I fear that I got old and now I don't have the time to learn it. I want to give it one more try. Wish me luck!
Never too old to learn! Make sure to start on the easier difficulties and remember that losing is fun! You'll learn something new everytime you learn, and as you get better the game will naturally recommend turning up the difficulty mid campaign, so take your time and enjoy. Good luck!
these gmes are actually for people who got old, if you think this is overwhelming try the new game knights of honor 2
Super helpful thank you
You're welcome!
hope u have more camp seri, i will follow u :D
My college room mate and I used to have epic battles in Rome Total War. It was great.
Love the head to head siege battles in Rome
Hey, I got that Homestar reference. Nice.
It's hard playing this game with boxing gloves on
I got this game while ago and am now seeing if I like it before getting TWH 3
Bought it and all the dlc. Haven’t done anything at all except stair at all the beautiful things in space.
It is a very pretty game, I'm guilty of spending a lot of time looking at the cities and landscapes when in battle
Omg the Trogdor reference ♡♡♡
Big ol beefy arms on all these dragons
Was playing my first tutorial run as Tyrion, dealing with damnable undead pirates raiding my port cities, until eventually I felt like I had a good footing and started my first ritual...only to have a horde of chaos puppets land upon my beaches and raze all but my capitol to the ground. I promptly turned the game off, questioned my aptitude, and came here to figure out what I was doing wrong. The Hammer and Anvil alone will give me much more chance in my next run....and not auto-resolving all my battles (im lazy).
Once you learn how to fight better than the AR it can be a massive game changer! There's no harm in failing a campaign (I often do), as long as you learn something from it for the next time
Thank you for making this. I can get into Warhammer 2 and maybe play a Elves campaign like Woodelves I can do that, but when it comes to playing as other factions, I just simply get lose and don't know how to defeat them.
Plus a good mod guide would help because I am tired of having a 100 mods, and none of them ever go past the loading screen
Thank YOU for watching! Faction guides are definitely on the to-do list, I haven't really done much on the modding side, but it's not a bad idea to explore!
@@agentnumberone not a problem, you have a very good style of editing so instant sub! :)
Nice video, thanks for the lay of the land! I just downloaded Total War Warhammer 2 - my first Total War game. I'm not going to dabble with DLC yet until I've experienced the game 'vanilla,' but I am curious to know if it's worth getting Warhammer 1 just for the other factions and the Mortal Empires campaign.
Mortal empires is very good and worth it for the expanded experience, but you can easily play through the base Vortex campaign many times until you feel the need for a larger game!
this was more a reveiw than a begginers guide:))
Here for the basics so I can jump into Warhammer 3
Can assure you there will be more WH3 basic guides coming as soon as I'm allowed to post them!
Love your style (humor), therefore you have been notified of being graced by a sub..
Much appreciated, glad I can get a laugh and am not just laughing at myself
@@agentnumberone Lol, I understand the feeling, and you're welcome. 👍
I can't believe it's been 4½ years between the release of WH2 and WH3.
The timestamps were genuinely shocking when I made this video, I had to check it so many times because I could hardly believe them
Thanks
Oh my, no thank you!
I wish that Creative Assembly would've made a deal with Bethesda Softworks and created an Elder Scrolls strategy game set in Akavir.
I highly recommend the Elder Scrolls Universalis mod for EU4 if you're looking for a grand strategy game in Tamriel!
90 hours into the game and I still can't decide which faction to play.
And this is why Karl is still the most commonly played character
Just picked this game up. A tad overwhelmed by the dlc available but excited. The pirate vampires seem cool but is there a way to play non pirate vampires lol? I don't even see them as a choice in the races.
fr bro i just started playing and its another rts game where i have to watch 14, 3 hr long videos to even understand what to do on turn 2 xD
Vampire Counts! They're in the first game, which functions as DLC for the third as well. Definitely a gross amount of DLC, good to wait for things to go on sale
Can you play tw2 on s8 tab ultra
I'm your 999th Subscriber.
THANK YOU! We just hit 1k and I'm so happy :))))
The question is more, should I start with part 1 or better 2 or jump straight to part 3?
Definitely wait a bit on 3 as they're still adding things and polishing the gameplay. 1 or 2 are both great places to start all depending on what factions you want to try first!
Do I have to buy the first game first? Or can I just jump in to the second one?
You can jump right into the second one (or even the third), each game acts as DLC for each other. Depending on what faction you want to play, and what part of the world, you'll need to have different games.
Did you do one for tww 3 ? If not can you do it? Or is it basically the same ?
Oh you did On my way!
Mostly the same for the basics covered here!
I have never played at all, know very little about the game, should I go with warhammer 2 or 3 ?
In my opinion I'd definitely pick 2, it's a better rounded experience and the solo campaign (Vortex) is more interesting then the WH3 rift mode. Plus if you want more you can always pick up WH3 and then 2 just becomes DLC for it
I’m here because I just saw a trailer for Total War 3. “Coming late 2021” OOF.
Big oof
Tomb king setra the empirishable has demanded an audience to youtube being left behind and didnt get an introduction to this scene
The forest evles says hi 😂
So i just bought warhammer 2, but i only can choose 1 human faction the woodsman guy
If you're playing the Eye of the Vortex campaign, then Markus Wulfheart (the woodsman guy) is the only Empire faction on that map. If you also own Warhammer 1 you can play the Mortal Empires campaign, which will give you access to the rest of the map where the other Empire factions are!
I started playing total war empire and total war napoleon but then I decided to get total war Rome 2 and total war warhammer and they play so much differently then the latter.. I feel like I know how to do the politics but the combat is so different
The introduction of monsters and magic changes it up _a lot_ compared to the classics, but you'll get a feel for it eventually!
recommended to start at Warhammer 1 or any other total war game ?
Starting with 1 or 2 is the way to go right now as they're still polishing 3, they all act as DLC for each other so it all depends on what faction you want to try first!
@@BlitzMaul Heck ya Shogun 2 rules
still lookig for info since this video ONLY talked about the right botton screen thing. i still dont know how to build or what a slot even is
Unfortunately only so much I can cram in one video! For build order I generally recommend focusing on growth, then garrisons, then money or military. Try to focus your military buildings to a single province if possible to minimize redundant recruitment buildings.
I thought the game was having a problem cause I didn't know how to complete a turn.
Leave an upper decker in your toilet 🤣🤣
i just bought warhammer 2 does this mean i cant play those humans and stuff if i dont own warhammer 1?
Correct, WH1 is Empire/Dwarfs/Greenskins/Vampires (with DLC Norsca/Chaos/Woodelves/Beastmen/Brettonia) and WH2 is High Elves/DarkElves/Lizardmen/Skaven (with DLC Tomb Kings/Vampirates). The good news is that WH1 goes on sale super frequently and at huge discounts.
I still don't know what the hell i'm doing. Immediately overwhelmed. I keep ending my turn and nothing happens how do I move in this game?
Your army has a limited movement each turn, seen in the bottom left around their portrait. Select the army, right click on the map to move them, end turn to refresh movement!
New players! HA! I've had the game for 3 or 4 years and i still cant hold more then 2 providenceses on easy mode without fucking it up
No shame playing on easy mode!
this is so overwhelming that I just dont wanna play anymore lol. ill stick to watching.
Well good news I've got fresh campaign VODs coming out on my other channel: www.youtube.com/@agentnumberonevods
your voice is so similar to wackyjacky
2:58 😮 wait a second TW games have plot? 😂😂😂😂
Explain Tomb King archers then lol
You gotta be super geeky comprehensive to play warhammer
This game definitely turned me into a warhammer nerd
@@agentnumberone quick question, can you go anywhere you want to on the campaign map?
tried this game at my cousin PC... I like the graphic but.. I think I'm too dumb to play this game. 🙁
2 minutes realize it’s nothing like total war Rome 2 or empire so I’d rather not waste money but thx bud
It shares a lot of similarities, but the heroes, magic, and monsters switch up the formula a lot. The shift from historical to fantasy total war can be pretty drastic
this game is hard
what about diplomacy , how to do upgrades for your cities how to stop rebellions , these are the beginners struggles bro
For small cities upgrades focus on growth, then garrisons, fill the third slot with cash or military that maxes at T3. Capital cities focus on buildings with T4-5 upgrades, which will typically include your public order building that stops rebellions.
LEMME TELL YOU IF YOUR BUYING IT JUST LOOK UP CHESP STEAM KEYS. my ass just paid 60 for like all 3 lmfao so amped. here for that very reason.
breifs mate haha
Is there a game that just has the battles and none of that other crap, next turn alliance with this dude, send an emissary here and there yada yada yada? I respect the games but why not just have two armies and if you win you get a new rating, like in chess and then you get better equipment and perks and then you do it all again, it would do well I think. These games are good but some of us don't t have the time but I love the battle part. It be a good game just battles
Mount & Blade Bannerlord is probably the closest thing, but also still quite different. If you play it as a commander with some of the RTS camera mods it comes close to total war, but nobody really does the large scale battles in quite the same way
This is very nice. But totally skips explaining the fundamentals about just what a Total War game is. Before going into faction choices and buttons. Nobody knows what s faction even is. Or what the gameplay is like. Does not show the overall map and RTS to explain those environments.
I appreciate the kind feedback! There's definitely some more basic stuff missing that people have asked for, hard to fit it all into a short vid, but it's good to know what people want to see so thanks you!
@@agentnumberone Yes I learned in Troy. Now play TWH When I started I had no clue if it was like Age of Empires where you build while fighting. Or how it worked.
I think TWH3 is the best choice for beginners. It has actual tutorial that I requested from CA back in Troy.
And the best beginner faction/campaign - Iron Dragon Cathay. Nice fairly immobile playstyle. Gives harmony bonus for good composition and close positioning. Does not even have offensive infantry. Even sword skirmishers get Jade bonus for standing still.
Made 2 years before the crapstorm that was Total War Warhammer III's DLC and CA's PR fiasco.
u told us to subscribe like 4 times...
Haha sorry I've tried to tone that down since
@@agentnumberone You're doing a good job at least in your most recent video so thanks for the effort. Saying it at the end is the sweet spot.
Bought? No! I pirated it
Way to not be a scumbag. Do that crap for bad greedy devs. Not people who care about the product they put out.
@@jbwanthony3177 ummmm, it’s sega… they don’t care
@@pacific24seaboat93 Sega is a publisher
@@jbwanthony3177 why defend a company known for its bad reputation of modern dlcs. They specialize in making you buy content that should be base game. Warhammer great example of this it's a great game but ruined by its pay to play concept that was started in Rome 2.
@@justinlabrosse8506none of what you said made sense. Rome 2 dlc is dirt cheap and are either faction packs or entire Alternative campaigns that are literally an entirely different game. The dlc for Rome 2 is literally the worst case example you could have used because it is cheap, well done and offers a lot of value for price and you aren't forced to buy it since the base game retains all the original features of the campaign it isn't like paradox games like hoi4 and eu4 where each dlc is just a minor feature added for twenty dollars a pop. If you want to talk about bad dlc, talk to me when you purchased by blood alone for hoi4. Sega is the publisher not the developers, the developers are creative assembly which actually don't have a reputation of bad dlc at all lmao.
Warhammer total wars are unlike the other total wars because it uses game workshop licensing so they can only publish at the prices games workshop allows. If you are upset with the prices for total war Warhammer games and dlc I would suggest complain to games workshop or stop being poor.
This tutorial already failed when it didn't explain the most confusing thing for all beginners, the vortex campaign and the Mortal Empires. An absolute beginner's guide needs to address the most fundamental and most confusing things for beginners. This jumped a little too fast to the faction selection screen. Slow down bro and explain the steps before that, like campaigns, battles and stuff.
Only so much I can fit in a concise video, there's lots of 20-40min videos out there that explain everything in full detail.
Three games n he uses the lesser one
