This is the TW:S2 edition of the "Guide to the Guides." There will most likely be some overlap with Total War Center and other sources of guides, but I hope to keep things as organized as possible.

(^Thorough beyond compare)
Browser-Based Encyclopedia Access:
*
You don't even need to launch the game to view the Encyclopedia, you can simply use a web browser.
Just create a shortcut that points to ...
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\total war shogun 2\data\encyclopedia\how_to_play.html
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\total war shogun 2\data\encyclopedia\how_to_play.html
Note: You will need to adjust that link depending on where you have installed the Steam client.

0 · Disagree AgreeI'm probably going to re-post a new version once the game comes out and I've actually played with the clans and experimented with all the units. Like the comment you wrote about my guide.
It's very offensive, yet fitting

0 · Disagree AgreeRenamed "General Demo Guides" to just "General Guides" and placed a link to online encyclopedia access as well as a plea for help for the file path of the encyclopedia on the computer's hard drive under it.
Renamed "Full Game Guides that Certain Individual Couldn't Wait to Compile Based on the Encyclopedia: :mad:" to "Campaign Guides."
