Contrary to other players, my favourtie factios would have to be the barbarian ones.

They have the most powerful infantry, for instance i was britannia against another powerful barbarian nation, gauls.

The entire battle was won by the two regiments of head hurlers i had, completely demoralising the enemy and having them rout completely.

their causualities were low, mine were high as i was fighting another kick ass barbarian nation! :)

I\'d go Brittania too, because I am in love with medieval Britain, well, not in love, but obsessed.
So, I should buy it? Can I hunt you down if I\'m disappointed?
War of the Ring sucks, Lord of the Rings is overrated, yet another Tolkien franchise? I\'ll pass, talk about milking it for all it\'s worth.
Give me Feist over Tolkien any day, The Krondor games were cool too, so Feist wins twice over.

You really don\'t know what your talking about :)
Please dont talk about war of the ring, it was a total failure
EA-games bought all the film rights and has put everything into Battle for Middle-Earth, it will be infinitely better.
It\'ll compete with RomeTW as best RTS of the year

Please visit http://www.eagames.com/official/lordoftherings/thebattleformiddleearth/us/videos.jsp
and watch a few of the movies

You WILL change your mind, believe me... ;)

You never answered me, can I hunt you down if I (however unlikely) was disappointed in Rome?
This site is going so slow... Stupid EA.

Games from movies always come up short in my opinion, almost always the same with books.
I\'ll admit it looks pretty, which means it\'ll run slow... really pretty + RTS = bleh.
I\'ll probably play it for one reason...
Sauron\'s Forces + Fell Beast + Hunting Frodo = FUN!
If anything annoyed me more than Frodo, it was seeing Peter Jackson\'s kids as Hobbits, Children of Rohan, AND Children of Gondor.
Just hope it has good gameplay, graphics are nothing. (I still play emulated versions of my old SNES games, my SNES died a while ago, and the cartridges are useless).

I\'m looking forward to Dragon Age, what some call NWN2, though I don\'t think that\'s right... the devs seemed to indicate it wasn\'t. Too bad it\'s years off...

Well, I was talking to SiberianTiger, but now I get to hunt down two people if I am disappointed in Rome...
I have a sad feeling that I won\'t be hunting anyone...

SiberianTiger, I am sorry for doubting you, it seems EA can make a boring concept interesting...
I watched the E3 demo, wow... blown away... I want it, GIMME!
Fell beasts are as cool as I hoped!

R:TW is really cool. :) There\'s nothing like having 1000 enemy men charging towards your 300 foot troops, and knowing that you have 500 cavelry ambushing their flank :D Tactics are everything in this game, both military and economic. And the way the guys go flying through the air when they get hit by a cavelry charge is great.

(Not to mention the War Dogs :D)
