"Lotr Battle for middle earth- beat that!"

Lotr Battle for middle earth is great, with its epic battles and control of as many units as you want!! It's a bit annoying cause it's only for PC. But the graphics are so realistic! It comes out (in the UK) on December 6th. Go to: www.eagames.com this is the where you can find the offical website for the game. Now BFME is the best game ever!

Erm no, building a huge army negates the "Rush" part. Tank rush is about pumping out a small amount of units very quickly and overwhelming the enemy with speed rather than huge firepower.

Same with me and Rome: Total War.

That's fair to say. I suppose I'm only saying good sfuff about BFME because I'm obcessed with it!

Ah, well in that case your excitement in BFME seems founded. Being more of a hardcore RTS player I proffer something with a little more bite, and that's something I don't see in Battle For Middle Earth.

I may give it a try though, see how it pans out, but for me I've already found my Strategy game of the year.

I suppose that's true but I'm very good with strategy!

Tank rush, build a huge army of very powerful units, send them out to the enemy, sit back an wait for victory. If victory does not present itself, build another big army of powerful units and repeat. Continue to do so until enemy is crushed.

It's a simple strategy, so simple that it negates the point of playing a strategy game in the first place. You should be able to beat an enemy army through your own strategic prowess, not on how many units you have.

If playing with mordor all you have to get for resources is food, now that's simple!

Sounds like another "Tank Rush" game, and I loathe Tank Rush games.

I'm no liarer! Truly you can get as many units as you please!
