"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!

Its not likely that you will actually be able to have UNLIMITED units though, i doubt you would be able to get the required resources, its probably more a "my willy is bigger than your willy" type affair.

Plus this game is hard and you get to be on any side good vs evil

10,000 is a bigger number than 1500.

edit: oh, you changed it to 15,000

Unlimited units!!! where's the fun in that? Strategy games must be hard, pummeling orcs with an unlimited amount of troops would get tiresome, crafting an army of thousands, sending them across Europe to crush empires and hoping you have the skill to match the army that awaits on your arrival, thats a good strategy game.

Oh, and after my comment about battles reaching 10,000 units, you didn't think I'd actually be impressed by such a small figure of 1500 did you?

On BFME you can control up to 500 units and have as many units as you want (UNLIMITED!) and up to 15,000 units on screen at one time!

Ah yes [URL]http://www.gamershell.com/pc/the_lord_of_the_rings_the_battle_for_middle_earth/screenshots.html?id=24[/URL] [URL]http://www.totalwar.com/community/rp11.htm[/URL] uncanny.

Still, doubtful you'll be able to amass troops that can number in the thousands, Total War's battlefields can muster up to 10,000 units on screen at once, and if that isn't the most impressive spectacle in gaming history then I don't know what is.

Again, BFME looks like a fun, light weight RTS, the kind I'd expect from a developer who put aside innovation for a quick buck, but I remain unimpressed.

That screenshot looks like BFME but just with different units!

Finally someone agrees with me! Have you seen any of the videos or screenshots for BFME? They look great!
