    Default factions to play to get the best game experience?

    I started with eriador, but stopped until the update will be out; i'm about to finish with ruhn... i'm wondering what would be a good next faction to play to get the best in-game experience.

    I was thinking about OOTM (using orcs!) or harad (invading by ship!) or maybe elves (i've never fought against them so far nor seen their units)... what is the most interesting to be played in your opinion?

    thanks in advance!

    for me is the best faction Gondor...on vh/h because i like when A.I is pushing to me and i m defending and then big turn over and A.I is pushed back to Mordor
    or HE is pretty hard for me because their economy sucks at the begining and you need army to defend yourself against OoMM.
    Gandalf: Go back to the abyss! Fall into nothingness that awaits you and your master!
    Witch King: Do you not know death when you see it, old man? This is my hour!

    with rr/Rc HE are the easiest faction with no faction even getting close. their economy is so good i had over 10k very early game because you didnt have to recruit too many units other than in imladris.

    gondor on h/h for a newbie would be a very nice game, protect your southern borders from haradrim while defending against orcs from the east. vh/vh is prob too hard for a new player.
    so far im enjoying isengard the most.

    The best experience will come from the faction you like the most. I for example really like Dale and Eriador.

    Depends on what you like most, all factions are fun in their way.

    Elves are very nice with few but very strong troops, especially if you like archer tactics. They lack a bit in versatility. OotMM have a very hard early game, because they have many enemies, but if you like a challenge...

    For me, Gondor is the most "classic", full of action and athmosphere, but it is often considered as pretty hard, so it might depend on what difficulty you prefer.

    I found HE pretty easy, I had plenty of money and the OotMM never attacked me.

    Well, if you are seeking "immersion" you should play Gondor, Mordor and maybe Rohan. Those three factions imo get the most action- Though, Mordor is very easy and Gondor and Rohan can be quite hard.

    mordor, gondor and silvan elves are harder to play than other factions
    though i think gondor is the most challenging

    Ah! Today is the opposite day, isn`t it?

    For one moment i thought you wanted to say that mordor and the silvan elves are challenging.

    A 300 turn game usually takes a while. Take a faction your drawn to and run for your life. That's much better than starting a campaign via suggestion with a faction that your not really all that into...imo...

    Any faction that your interested in can provide a great game experiance...

    Yes when you get into the middle part of your campaign one turn can easily take 30 minutes. And that without fighting any battles. One battle can run for 30 minutes and an hour is not unusual if you are fighting a close battle or siege.

    Gondor , of course .
    And it will even more interesting if you bankrupt and must defend Minastirith with half stack of militia against three full stacks of orcs, troll and command by Witchking in turn 58 (after wipe out nearly 5 full stacks in PenelorField at turn 55)
    This is really challenge
