I hope the server issues clear up soon. I want to get in this!
 
Speaking of servers, I hope the GB servers get updated this weekend. Group excursions INTO HELL, anyone?

If you're playing a support dealer... Tough luck. Try to stay at the edges of team fights so you don't get targeted, but more often than not their nukers are going to be going straight for you, as you're the squishiest member of the team.
 
As a damage guy, if you find yourself drawing a lot of stuns, pick up a Shrunken Head from the Defensive section of the shop. That'll give you a few seconds of magic immunity, which should get you through the brunt of a teamfight. If you can, focus down their stunners in while SH is on; without them, you'll have free reign to roll the rest of their team.

Oh wow, someone else playing this game. First off, come check out the Giantbomb channel!
 
Secondly, I highly recommend starting with a support character like Glacius or Demented Shaman. You don't have to worry to much about last-hitting, items, nor being an excellent player - just your prescence in teamfights makes you useful. While you're playing support you can see other types of heroes in action and then play what you like.
 
If you're already hooked on the damage, Flint is pretty easy to pick up. Pestilence is a neat semi-carry with damage and a stun. Chronos is a pretty easy carry to start with, though I would stay away from carries until you're more confident in your play.
 
EDIT: I play on weekends, and I'd be happy to play with you. Friend me as "Mageknight". "Octazooka" (Nytrik here) is also a cool GB HON dude.

I quite like Japan's music, especially their war theme. It starts off a bit boring, but builds into something really neat. China has some neat music as well.

Greece sounds awesome; they seem like an interesting way to explore the new city-states feature. I think I'll try them first. Then maybe America to try a fast-expansion strategy.

It's really fine the way it is. Content should be up when the staff feels like it should go up, not necessarily equally distributed over all seven days of the week.

I love Giant Bomb, but ever since they started, I was always worried they'd run out of money or something. Now I don't have to worry about that! Also downloadable HD video and a sweet mobile site are pretty great features, so why not?

I'm not sure if Winter Assault had a multi-race campaign, but Dark Crusade certainly did. I'm definitely looking forward to this game though, multi-race campaigns is the perfect addition.

I love HON! It takes a lot of investment learning the ropes, but once you understand it, it can be incredibly rewarding. This is coming from someone who never played DOTA, either. If you're playing for the first time you should drop by the Giantbomb channel and we can help you out.
