I will probably play as a commercant house, i have about 6 friends that are going to play this game too. (even though we are not all for the monthly fee's >:() 2 of them are going to play as merc's, 2 others as military and 1 other as a commecrant. We are basing it on how much we each are online, me and my friend kye aren't on as much so we will be commercant house. My friends Big T and Ray are on almost all the time so they will play as the military house and guard the bases. My other 2 friends will play as merc houses because they are online most of the day and are experienced in strategy and war games, and they along with my friends that have military house's will fight while me and kye control the economy and treaties and so on. this was my first post on this board by the way :)
