FAVORITE GAMES: "Total War: Shogun 2," "Rome Total War," "Napoleon Total War" and "Men of War"

I'll be making videos of my online battles. I'll update this section every so often with new blood-soaked video replays (whenever I can). I will play any game I choose.

I am named the Prince_of_Macedon. In Greek, my name is: Πρίγκηψ της Μακεδονίας. I have picked this name because of my historical interest in the Ancient Macedonians (especially Alexander the Great). 'Alexander the Great' and 'Ancient Macedon' are the two reasons why I started playing Rome Total War in the first place. Rome Total War lets me relive those glory days of Philip II, Alexander III and all of the other great Hellenistic rulers that have walked in Alexander's footsteps.

"Rome: Total War" is my specialty. I suck at "Medieval II: Total War," "Empire Total War," "Napoleon Total War," and "Shogun 2 Total War" since I never put any time into those games. I'm also new to "Men of War."
About Me:
 
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

*** QUESTIONS ABOUT ME ***

1. Who is your favorite hero and why?
Alexander the Great. His military campaigns and personal heroics on the battlefield are the most epic stories ever told.

2. Who are your other favorite commanders (besides Alexander)?
- Philip II (Macedon)
- Marcus Claudius Marcellus
- Sertorius
- Julius Caesar
- Antigonus the One-Eyed
- King Pyrrhus (Epirus)
- Philip V (Macedon)
- Antiochus the Great
- Perseus (Macedon)
- Belisarius
- Genghis Khan
- Alexander Suvorov
- Napoleon Bonaparte

3. What are you favorite factions?
Historically, I have only one favorite faction: Ancient Macedon. My love of Ancient Macedon started with Alexander the Great, but I definitely enjoy the tales of previous and later Macedonian Kings (whether good or bad).

As far as Napoleon Total War goes, France is my favorite. When it comes to the Napoleonic Wars, I've always wanted to command the Grand Army.

4. Are you Greek?
No, but I'm a huge fan of Ancient Greek History.

5. What are your computer specs?
CybertronicPC Spartan.
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
- Memory Speed (1333MHz)
- Memory Size (4GB)
- ATI Radeon HD 5450 (videocard)
- 350 watt Power Supply Unit

I spent about $570 on it.

6. What is "micro?"
I imported this term from Starcraft. "Micro" (or "micromanagement") refers to your ability to control your troops effectively on the battlefield in order to maximize their combat potential. (My definition)

*** "MEN OF WAR" QUESTIONS ***
7. What's better: Company of Heroes or Men of War?
- Both are great games in their own right.
- Company of Heroes has outstanding graphics and fun/lightning-fast gameplay. The only factions though are USA, UK and Germany.
- Men of War, on the other hand, is also fun, but the action is also much more realistic, and the tactical combat is unmatched. You get 5 factions here: Germany, USA, Japan, UK and the Soviet Union.
- Both games are set during World War II.

8. What is latest patch for Men of War?
1.17.5.1. Get the "Full Version":

9. How do you play Rome Total War Online?
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

10. How do I enter/change my CD-Key for Medieval 2 Total War?
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

11. Why don't you play Campaign?
When it comes to the Total War games, I'm the purest online player you'll ever meet. I've never played Campaign ever, and I only played Single-Player Custom Battle for 1-2 hours before I jumped straight online.

12. Why don't you play any mods?
As I said previously, I'm a pure online player. And virtually nobody plays anything but Rome Total War (patch 1.5) online.

13. When did you start playing Rome Total War?
Late December 2006.

14. Do you have any tips for Rome Total War beginners?
Yes, play lots of battles. Don't be discouraged by losing. It's only a game. Save your replays and learn from your victories and defeats.

15. Which Total War game should I buy? (or which is the best?)
That depends on YOUR historical interests. If you like Medieval times, get Medieval II. If you like Ancient times, get Rome Total War. If you like 18th Century Warfare, get Empire Total War. If you like the Napoleonic Wars, get Napoleon Total War.

16. Why don't you use your name on Rome Total War?
- too much drama
- too many impersonators use my name
- Privacy

17. Can my PC run Empire Total War or Napoleon Total War?
You can test out both the Empire Total War and the Napoleon Total War demos on Steam. Or try out this handy online tester to see if your computer can run a particular game:

o No artillery
o No elephants

19. What do you use to record your videos?
- I use FRAPS to record the gameplay footage

I would say the Seleucids, because of their continuous struggle to maintain their empire, from internal, external, political and corrupt forces. Also their conquest and fights for the kingdom of Israel and Ptolemaic Egypt
Blueboy4440 (7 hours ago)
1. Ptolemies (the reading of Kallixenos is just amazing)
2. Antigonids
3. Seleucids (I am not too caught up on them)

naaanonsen23 (9 hours ago)

TehHobbyist (9 hours ago)
1. Seleucids
2. Ptolemies
3. Antigonids

I just think that the Seleucids were the coolest (and my favourite RTW faction too).
