Me neither. I just wasn't comfortable or use to their way of units and powers. The first faction I ever played with, is Elves. So I figured, I'd rather be really good at one, rather than be semi good with all of the others.
I rather like Mordor, actually. They have a good spread of skilled/good troops while having cheap ones to continually attack with (orcs). I like the goblins the best, though. And I despise the MOTW. I'm not sure why, but I just hate the way the operate. Elves are awesome, though.
Yeah. Goblin Archers STINK! I usually never even bother to buy them. When I'm playing computers, I usually win within a few minutes, so I son't even bother.
