User blog:Apr1fool/New game tutorial (desktop versions)

Hero Wars has two desktop versions of the game; one through Facebook and one through the Hero Wars website. The Facebook version is the more popular of the two with approximately 13x as many players based on the number of internet servers as of 18 January 2020 (more about servers later). Basic game-play is exactly the same and both include a tutorial when you first join the game. This article will guide you through the tutorial step-by-step, and will provide you with screen-shots and videos so you know what to expect.

Joining the game
Joining the Facebook version of the game is exactly the same as joining any other game on Facebook; you click on the link to the game app (either from an ad, invite, post or search) and give the app permission to use your Facebook profile information. Joining the game on the non-Facebook version requires you to sign-up with an email address and password. You will then be taken to the game page and the game will load into your browser. There are no additional downloads or installations required to play the game.

How the game begins
At the beginning of the game you will be introduced to your first hero Galahad.
