[quote quoting="post"] [...] Firing up the game through Steam, you will be treated an excellent pre-rendered scene that is comparable to that of the original DOW, many of you will recognise it from long released media but it never gets old. Into the home screen now and you have a few choices at hand. Firstly you will have to create/log into a Games For Windows Live account , if like me you have a Live account for your 360 you can simply

This is actually a great thread, worthy of being read by anyone that happens to be new to the forums. So I'm going to pull a Bearomancer move and.. I dunno.. I don't have necromantic powers, so I guess I'll have a group of bears pull it all the way up... [e digicons]*_*[/e] *yoink*

I've been wanting to make a thread like this for a while, and I finally got around to it. Basicly, if you could design your own Empire what would it be like? Not just in game terms, but any way you want. Culturally, architecturally, racially, high magic, low magic, no magic, do the warriors use steel, bronze, iron, etc. Anything, everything, nothing (although I guess your post would feel a bit redundant if you opt for 'nothing'). <

As far as I'm aware neither africa nor europe have particularly fast bears (though again, I can't really find any places talking about it.

True you can give anyone a sword, but without skill, they're more likely to hurt themselves than to help someone else. I'm not talking about some militia where you pick up spells at some sort of armory.
