AoE/AoM ofc but i think those games which u have listed are funner. you gotta have Warcraft 2 aswell - its just more simple than wc3 and i think more fun (i got it btw, so we can all play it ) EDIT: Just thought - We have to play Starcraft

I've never played any of the warcraft games. I like some strategy games; RA2, DoW, AoEII etc. I dont like role playing games. Does anyone know how warcraft games work? (I mean the technicalities behind it, ie. do they have a dedicated server?) or is it all just peer to peer, and whoever hosts it plays on their system aswell? Just wondering for the LAN.

BATTLE FOR MIDDLE EARTH FTW!!!!!!!!! That game is just the best 7v1 on me please? Number 2 is out very very very soon thats better
C&C Genrals is good but......I rush you all with gla within the first 2-3 mins Warcraft 3 is good as well you need to get the game tho 0-10 quid (i can get a dota map from online thats when you choose a hero and there is 3 lanes you fight and have to destroy each other base scourge and ancients its very good very fun)
red alert 1 or 2? red alert 1 r0x0rs!!!!!1 red alert 2 Iraq=Desolator=fun=p00ned

Battle for middle earth 2 looks very good but is too new i think for this lan
RA2 is uber but is an arse to set up over a lan so the staff would have yet more work to do.
CCGenerals is sounding good but gotta see how easy it is to LAN.

Battle for Middle Earth is a ROFL of a game, specially when you get bored and enable a trainer so you get unlimited resources and build just massive armies. How ever it is based on the Generals engine (and what a mighty fine job they have done) but unfortunatley still holds the same old bugs when to much starts happening - Crash to desktop. I played that game for about a week solid, and then lost interest as the game play is virtually the same every single time nothing new happens. Would be ace on LAN though, takes a while to grasp it though - depends if your a RTS fan (aka Shadow) and can master any game in a few minutes, + its LOTR tbh a lot of people will be put off by the fact its LOTR all over again Conclusion Play the biatch of a game!

LOTR I can do 7v1 hard comps and still win with isenguard! (they have no wall =P) Genrals looking good im quite crap at it (Define quite) Id still like to have games of dow at the lan its very fun i find it challenging aginst very hard ai( sometimes aginst normal !!!!) Maybe for DOW we can set up a few Ai games? Eg Lost hope? 4 real players vs 4 ai vh ? But genrally i could do with a few rts games at the lan <<<<<ub3r sh!t at FPS Any comments?

imo shadow is a full RTS player and no matter what RTS tourny we run for the most part he will win as most people are FPS fans and dabble in RTS from time to time. shadow is the other way round
i'm not syaing DoW wont be a thte lan but no tourny will be held with it.
LoTR is looking different to say the least as an GTS but so is CC:G.
NQLAN will have to discuss.

BFME i do agree can take a monster PC to run it looking good and smooth.
Have played ir recently and yes its quite good and different to play but its just the same RTS - get enoug resources to build an uber army and kill. Yes u get the Balrog and Orcs are fun to kill but its not grabbing me by the balls and making me wanna play!

The Balrog or us? I have to admit the balrog is fierce bfme is good to play alot of siege on both sides Im abit of a rohirm archer ho myself i abuse to misue but latley bfme2 has been my main goal Nazguls and Dismounting the witchking is very powerful.....if you watch the start of bfme u will see sauron use his big mace Witch king has same effect but not as area effective or AOE in bfme 2 You get sauron.....Nuff said hes just so dam powerful Gollum holds the ring u have to find him then kill him then take it back to your fort and summon ring hero
Sauron = evil
Gladriel(Princess of the elves?)=Good
Rohan and gondor are combinded into 1 (i havent tried them yet!0-o) New races are Elves Goblins Dwarves
Mordor are my overall favorite but when im defeding its elves of coruce they have the best archers silly! the range is huge on them and there isnt actually a waly to beat them
