    I've loved all the Age Of * games, Age of Kings was great as well as the conquerors expansion. But Age of Mythology is simply the best game yet; it looks great in full 3d (compared to the 2d Age of Kings): the god powers like meteor shower and lightning storm look amazing. But the real kicker is the gameplay: simply amazing gameplay that I haven't gotten bored with in 2 years of playing. My wife and I play together almost every night; sometimes we'll play games long as 1 or 2 hours in some really magnificent battles. The strategy is great too, I using little skirmishes as a way to distract the enemy until I come around with heavy infantry on the flanks and slaughter his innocent villagers! :D I've tried to play other games, first person shooters (which I used to love) and other RTS games. But I get bored with them after a few hours of fragging; it just pales in comparison to the awesome thrill of a multi-hour long Age of Mythology game, especially if you end up winning; the victory is so sweet it makes you want to get up and dance. :-D Great game, I really love it. Looking forward to AOE3 later this year!

      I liked Civilization 2 much better then the third for some reason. Was a great game... perhaps I should install it again. (Civ2 even was the topic of my very first webpage :D) --------------------------- 127.0.0.1 - Sweet 127.0.0.1

      > I liked Civilization 2 much better then the third for some reason. I spent many, many hours on Civ2. Then a few years later I actually bought Civ3. For some reason I could never get into it. I can't explain it...

        Big fan of Conquerors and AOM. Like others, I'm waiting on AOEIII[^]. The screenshots look great so far. Rise of Nations is fun too. I'm not sure what kind of answer you're looking for regarding what you need to know, but there is a developer's blog on the AOEIII site you might find an interesting read. BW

          Age Of Mythology is great man, you don't know what you're missing. Me and my wife play online almost every night. I loved Age of Kings and the Conquerors expansion, one of the best in the series. I usually played the Scots or Britons...fun game, but once you got to the last age, you could get those seige catapult things that could plow over virtually any army. Also, heavy cavalry was way too powerful in that game.

That's the bad part - I *do* know what I'm missing. :( I played it for some time on my PC before it got worse. Of course, I wasn't able to enjoy it fully given my PC's pathetic state, but I know it's a great game. Cheers, Vikram.
