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 your 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)
- GeForce 9800 GT (as of 4/7/12)
- 450 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":

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. I, personally, enjoy Ancient Warfare above all else; therefore, Rome Total War is my favorite.

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?
