So is there really any honour in Total War games?
No.
But there is in some of it’s players…

Probably KISS.

The question sadly has a rather obvious answer, but perhaps if you'd ask it in about 10-15 years and I think there might actually be more of possible answers.

Re: best army
Britain certainly has one of/if not the best trained armies in the world, what with the royal Marines and SAS squadrons supporting them, they are dammed near invincible in pitched battle. Unfortunatly we dont have the numbers that comapre to the US and china, (not that i'm saying that the us and chinese armies are untrained) therefore i have no idea who has the best army
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.

Re: best army
Probably the only standing army in the world that the US perhaps couldn't win in a straight war even if it really tried to would be the Chinese one - on account of sheer size and resource base. There's no real way the Chinese could win, mind you, but they could grimly hang on until the US tires and sues for (nigh certainly advantageous) peace.
This is assuming a "no nukes" setting, though.
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Re: best army
Eheheheheheheeheheh! That was good. Thanks for the chuckle.
I'm a member of the KISS army: I saw them in the mid-90s on their revival tour, in full make-up and with a fabulous set from the old days. It was hilarious to see all these 30-40 year-olds (me and six of my mates and their mistresses included) headbangin', gettin' loaded, and having a great time just like in the ol' days. They put on a monster show, even after all these years. GET UP, GET DOWN!
KISS ROCKS!

Re: best army
I think the Israeli army, wich never has run short of real life experience. Very good equipment, and for a small country Israel has a large and capable reserve force.
Re: best army
Britain!
Stuff the yanks, they think they're tough pah! Haven't seen them conquer a quater of the known world, plus we have better sounding accent's and the calm and cool reserve of the British officer class!

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: best army
I'll not disappoint any patriots here this time..
USA IS THE BEST USA IS VERY GOOD USA JUST MAKES UP MY DREAMS USA ALL THE WAY HEY HEY I SAVED THE WORLD TODAY !!
Re: best army
I agree.
Re: best army
Seriously, I think Tribesman nailed it. However, I can't seem to make myself think in the present... too much time in the past. In that case, the Scots are on the level as well; the highlanders were some of the best single regiments in history.
Also, the Turkish troops at Balaclava were, apparently, very highly disciplined; theywithstood a continuous, 30-gun barrage and a massive Russian assault for three hours before they were forced to abandon their redoubt; not to mention the fact that they made up two-thirds of the "thin red line", and without them the Highlanders would have folded. From what I have heard, this was, in large part, due to the Turkish military school at Constantinople, which was an underrated institution, as it was located at the heart of the Sick Man of Europe, and not a modern empire.
(Sorry for the rant. But modern times are so damn boring.)
Re: best army
And you would be correct. They are better trained and more specialised.I did mention that the royal marines are a much smaller group but britain is a much smaller country and has a smaller budget...I expect they also perform different functions but I don't know. Since USMC people seem to be deployed as normal infantary more then the Royal matrines I assumed they were less specialized.
Actually I believe its larger or equal to your whole armed forces.Also, I think the USMC is about the size of the british army if my memory serves me correctly...
By that you mean just the Army and not the Royal Marines? Then your wrong. In that case its USMC. Ill put our marines against your regulars anytime.The British Army is the best for soldier skill, experience, training, et cetera., as well as good technology
I believe other than China the only standing army that might beat the Marines is of course the US Army.

Re: best army
I guess that is the reason why the rest of the world relies trustfully on the American leadership!USA all the way NC baby We could destroy everyone
