I got Hamachi recently on the thought that I might use it. So far, I have not. If anyone has either of these, it might be a bit of hassles with having to get the same version and whatever, but I'd be up for it. So go ahead and say if you have either one, if you want to (try to) play, just ask. And for those that don't know, they're Star Wars and Lord of the Rings respectively.
Empire at War/ Battle for Middle Earth 1 or 2?

I have both Empire at War (with Forces of Corruption) and Battle For Middle Earth II. Do you need hamachi to connect with those?
I'm working the rest of this weekend, I might be able to game some next weekend. I haven't done much multi-player with either of those. I have done enough to not recommend doing a campaign if we play Empire at War, it auto resolves battles against Pirates with often frustrating results.

I have Empire at War (with Forces of Corruption) as well. Great rts game. No hamachi though
Empire at War was completely awful as an RTS. No strategy involved what-so-ever. It should have been an RTB(Real Time Battle) or something like that.
The key is a fast start, and whoever has the quickest start wins the game(fastest start gets mine control). The key is NOT upgrading quickly and establishing mine control. Only then do you upgrade. If you control all of the mines and take out the enemy space stations supply dock, the game is in the bag. I think I've lost 15 games of EaW...ever. And those were against Nekronata, DarkErik, and the Cosmicbutt guys who never lose.
