Well that's the thing! I don't want to play a game that annoys the heck out of me, even if it is my fault.

I hate luck in any game (one of my main pet peeves) even if skill can outclass it.

I did have a lot of fun with the game. Me and a coworker played it everyday at lunch for at least 6 months, maybe more like 8 months. Great music, cool animations and graphics (for a free game), and awesome units and abilities. I highly recommend it to any strategy game fans.

BTW one funny test we did was Northerners with ONLY trolls versus any other faction. He would always beat me, and I would always beat him with a troll-only army. My coworker actually wrote a program that would run BFW matches like 10 a minute through a non-GUI interface and record the results. He did it across all maps, all factions, all weather types, etc. He fixed the program to run all Northerner trolls versus every other faction. At the end of the day the troll army won something like 80% of the time...very interesting!!

*EDIT* BTW it was the troll whelps not the big ones. You know, the default 12 gold guys.
