Also, when I play Starcraft, I usually pick the Terran. I dunno, they seem the easiest to use for me.

SC2: Zerg. I used to be a Brotoss, but Zerg infested its way into my heart by slowing me with fungal growth.
C&C: Scrin. There's just so much capability waiting to be used. Swarms on my tanks to take out those pesky grenadiers? Acid puking bugs to dissolve non-vehicle units? Hells to yeah!
Heroes of Might & Magic 5?: Give me Dark Elves or Sylvan faction and I will dominate any battlefield.
LotR: BFME2: Isengard. Industry never looked so cool. The safety to set up your economy into a non-stop steamroll.

Rome Total War Seleucids

They have:
Elephants
Chariots
Hoplites and Pikemen
Post-Marius (read good) style Legionaries (often available pre-Marius)
Companion cavalry
Cataphracts

They have pretty much every faction's speciality except German beserkers.

They are also the first faction I got past the million denarii mark with.

Imperial Guard - Dawn of War series
GDI - original Command and Conquer and CnC 3
Soviets - CnC Red Alert 1 and 2
Galactic Empire - Star Wars: Empire at War
UNSC - Halo Wars

Basically any human faction that wields a huge army with powerful tanks or walkers.

DoW I: Tau. Pulse rifles and dinosaurs for the win.

Dow II: Guard thus far. I really, really, like the tanks.

Starcraft I/II: Terrans. Go Marines.

Star Wars Empire at War: Forces of Corruption: Zann Consortium. I like those guys for some reason.

Command and Conquer Tiberium: Scrin or GDI, depending upon the day.

I've never really liked RTS that much but i always loved the celts in age of empires and the way their units actually spoke Irish words when you gave them actions. Listening to a villager go "Iascaireacht" when you told them to fish was pretty cool.

Age of Empires: They were all pretty similar, but probably Carthaginians (cause they had all the elephants)
Age of Empires 2: Chinese. I could understand what the units were saying, and the Cho Ko Nu were awesome.
Age of Mythology: Loki. Hersir rush ftw!
Company of Heroes: British Royal Artillery. I like the Brits, and I like dropping bombs on people from far away.

Shogun 2: Ikko Ikki. Rebelling provinces turn to your side? Awesome. And they've got badass monk and ashigaru units too. Nothing like watching 10 units of Ikko Ikki ashigaru just decimate the enemy because you they cost less and there are more of them in a unit (180 to 160, etc.)
imagine them with the Darth Mod extra units mod :D

im gunna download the Ikko Ikki DLC after my Chosakabe campaign

could you tell me where they start?

O.T. i dont think i am qualified to answer as i have only played Shogun 2 and only done 2 campaigns, but i plan on getting a lot more strategy games
I believe they start in the north side of the very middle of the map.

Tyranids and Zerg, I usually go for the most alien faction I can.

Also Vasari from Sins of a Solar Empire. Their starbases just completely faceroll anything not geared to deal with them.

China, Nuke-general, from C&C Generals: Zero Hour. I loved seeing the poor little infantry guys fly into the air when you bombed when with nuclear warhead-equipped MIGs :D

First

also, Soviets before Red Alert 3.

They had a class that only EA could ruin.
Seriously first?

anyways I love playing as the covenant in halo wars. But my favorite is the Chinese is Command and Conquer- Gods and Generals.

-C&C Tiberium: The Brotherhood of Nod. Stealth,high powered lasers...And devestating chemical weaponry. What's not to love?
-Supreme Commander 1: Cybran Nation. Stealth,Heavy Microwave Laser (Monkeylord gun),and an amphibious destroyer. The single most mobile faction in the game.
-C&C Red Alert (BEFORE 3!): Soviets. Tesla weapons,the singular most effective tank,and a cheap and fast war machine. Zerg rush with heavy tanks. Whatchya gunna do?
-C&C Generals: China. Gatling tanks,nuke howitzers,and units that are better than everyone else's in swarms. We are legion.
-Halo Wars: UNSC;Anders. 20 Hawks,Super Cryo Bomb. I think I win.
-Starcraft: Terran. Mobile,durable;killer combo.

Most of those are the "Red" factions...Who cares! Fear my favourite aspects of my favourite factions!
China? Ha! Enjoy your Anthrax Beta.
