1:it lags as hell even on a P4 2.4 GHZ Proccesor
Ram and Graphics cards are very important in BfME, as people have already pointed out. It's pretty poorly optimised for lower end machines.

Quote:
2:Controlling a Battallion sucks as hell...
There's nothing wrong with the system at all - most fantasy RTSs use a very similar system, what were you expecting? It's actually a lot smoother than a few other similar titles out there...

Quote:
3:U cannot turn off some of those ingame settings like the heat effects
You should be able to turn a great deal of effects off in custom graphics settings. If your machine is having difficulty with the bare minimum, I would however seriously suggest upgrading your Ram and Graphics card...

Quote:
4:Isengard Archers fires uber fast...
Well duh, they're armed with pump-action crossbows you know. They're also much shorter ranged than other archers and do less damage. Go figure.

Quote:
5:Rohans have no siege stuff....
Since when did cavalry lay sieges? Anyway, ents, treebeard - how is that not siegeworthy material?

Quote:
6:Commands dont respond very well...
What commands?

Quote:
7:Modding BFME is FRIGGIN' hard...
It's almost precisely the same as Generals, save for the bse and asset system, what are you complaining about?

Quote:
8:Your Infantrys some times get stuck..
Upgrade to the latest version, you shouldn't have any problems with it on official maps and with official settings.

Quote:
9:You Cannot set your starting resource..."ZH is waay better"
A minor downfall, but then you couldn't in Gen either. I wasn't really bothered, I hated seeing all those 50grand ZH multiplayer servers out there, they sucked.

Quote:
10: You cannot capture enemy buildings....."game balance???"
So? What's that got to do with balance? Why would Rohirrim want to start producing Orcs?

Quote:
11:The Menu and Ingame UI lags as hell.
Now I'm seriously beginning to think you need more Ram.

Quote:
12: Sooo many unit inbalances...
Nah, your strategy just sucks :P

Quote:
13:Isengard siege weapons is uber cheap....
Isengard was an army built for the purpose of laying siege, they're weapons are also fairly limited. Mordor is worse when it comes to sieges, as their catapults, trolls and mumaks are all somewhat deadly. Isengard are also very slow, and very vulnerable to shooting / monsters...

Quote:
14:BFME Lags sometimes without a reason...
That's where Ai pathfinding is being dealt with. That was an issue in Gen/ZH too

Quote:
15:Those Particle Effects lags my P4,2.4GHZ,256ram,40GBHDD
Of course they do, I wouldn't use that much Ram to word process. What graphics set are you running anyway?

Quote:
16. Archers have weak armor...
Because they have a ranged attack? There are ways of keeping them alive with a bit of strategy. I personally love fire-archer melee blocks...

Quote:
17.3 bersekers can wipe a whole peasant battalion
I'd hope so. Berserkers are rather pricey compared to peasants - one berserker costs more than the entire battalion. Besides, peasants are supposed to be cannon fodder...

Quote:
18.BFME Runs Gay on uber low settings "heat effects still there "
That's been mentioned several times before...

Quote:
19.ermm.....Uruks are more powerfull than gondor soldiers and rohan peasants
They're also more expensive. You should find that a single unit of peasants or soldiers will also decimate an Uruk unit if they're still both at level one, the odds are fairly even.

Quote:
20.Rohirrim archers fires uber slow
Yeah, I hate that. They're expensive and they suck...

Quote:
21.ENT Stuff is expensive like crap..
Because they're nigh on indestructible?
