Well, Lord of the Rings is a "right wing" movie. So I wouldn't expect you to like a game based on it

eh?

one of the gayest movies ever made!

and I use the word gay literally here... not like gay as in stupid or lame...

LITERALLY GAY!!!



but hey, if you want to say the right wing is all about man butt sex, who am I to argue?

actually, the whole concept of LotR is pretty left wing... the ultimate power of the ring is too dangerous for any person to have and needs to be destroyed.

Can't get more leftwing than that.

don't cry

you certainly felt my opinion was important enough that you responded to it

[Kuciwalker]

Sava, sometimes *I* respond to your opinions. That should tell you how much those who respond to you value your opinion

I played a great 4 player game last night. I set up a game where I was Gondor and teamed up with an AI Rohan against 2 AI as a second team playing as Isengard and Mordor.

It was a much different game than the 1-1 games on small maps. For one, all players started with outposts not the castles. So, instead of the big walled city, Gondor and Rohan start with a 3 building outpost with no walls. I suspect the reason the game gives you walled cities on small maps is to prevent the rush which would be too unbalancing on a small map.

This game, with small unwalled outposts, was much more interesting. You couldn't just sit back in a protected castle for half the game, but all players had to fight for territory in order to build more outposts. In the game, me and my ally won. I reached my maximum command points, so I just waited until I was able to collect enough resources to recruit Gandalf. With him on my side, I seriously kicked Mordor's and Isengard's ass. Gandalf's powers are really cool. He gets a lightning sword which instantly destroys a building. And you can also purchase a special power which will double his damage and reduce the rechard rate by 50%.
