Apart from the familiarity of the EverQuest world (to some), and several instances of added and welcome depth, general strategy will be much the same compared to other RTS offerings; build, expand and surprise. It's in this depth though, that I'm predicting you'll find the payoff in Lords of Everquest, and the reason for picking it up. Imagine having a battlefield full of units ranging from level 1 through level 7 or higher, all with different strengths and shortcomings and you'll begin to see the variance this game promises. Multiplayer games will be races, like always, to beef up units and surprise-attack opponents. After several won and lost battles on a large map, you'll be left with the units running the gamut of levels and abilities, and that's where it gets interesting.
