This negative review revoloves solely around the absolutely awful 'tutorial' I have just experienced. I've wanted to get into total War games for many years and finally bit the bullet with this one as I enjoyed Warhammer as a child.

I selected the Orc campaign and followed the initial instructions the tutorial provided, winning the first battle as would be expected. I continued to do as the tutorial narrator instructed until I began to be told to do things without it being explained how to do them (such as build a research camp for goblins, which i tried to do but was told I couldnt without upgrading my main camp, with no instructions on how to do so)

The tutorial narrator advises me to surround an opposing camp and starve them out, i select the option and wait, realize on my own I might have to end my turn, do so, then I'm advised to recruit a lord from a controlled camp - since I have none I click around confused for 10 minutes, decide to try to take over the camp i'm starving out to recruit a lord but am promptly defeated twice, left without a hero and no instruction as to what to do.

I'm sure Total War veterans are chuckling at my stupidity but without being guided as a new player this is what can happen, I'm left feeling very annoyed in the space of 2 hours with a game i was very excited to get into.
