Hey guys,

I just started playing Rome a month ago and I've been having some problems selecting a primary race. I've been playing RTS for a long time and there's just so many selectable races!

I like the Spartans of the Greeks, but they lack some things that other races offer, I'm not sure how to be offensive with them. The Selecids (Spelling?) seem to be very well rounded, containing everything you'd need, am I missing something, a weakness maybe? The egyptions also intrest me.

Basically what I'm wonder is the basic strategies for the Greeks, Selecids and Egyptions.

Also, one more thing, what are "Hitpoints" mentioned under the unit stats?

Thanks a lot,
