Use the mouse wheel to get an eagle-eye view of the field. This is useful to get a good angle on the action but a bit counterintuitive to seasoned RTS players.
If you move the mouse to the sides of the screen, your camera will rotate on the battlefield instead of panning to the right or the left. Unlike most RTS games you’re not supposed to use the mouse to scroll the map. Unfortunately this also means that it’s up to the player to explore and discover for themselves how to play the game, and to make the basics easier to learn, I’ve written up this guide, so enjoy.įirst of all, I would recommend that you play the prologue, is it really actually does do a good job of covering the basics. This is not necessarily a bad thing, what with all these games coming out that hold your hand like a creepy pedophilic uncle. It doesn’t hold anything back, and even in the prologue it’s quick to completely hand over the reins to the player (who may or may not be lost on what they’re supposed to do).
Jokes aside, the game can be a pretty complicated beast to get into. Are you ready to step into the shoes of Marcus Tullius Septimus Dragonbornius and other Roman heroes with ridiculously complicated names? Of course not! You haven’t read this Total War Rome 2 beginner’s guide yet.
