Total War offers you a tutorial you can play and advice you can turn on, but if you so desire you can click that custom battle or campaign buttons, turn off that advice and you will be truly and utterly on your own. And the game will show no mercy as I found out the first time I played Rome, started up a quick battle, charged my large cavalry force at a hoplite force, and promptly got completely wrecked without the game saying a word to warn me of my errors.
