Age of Mythology

[Gooblah]

Anyone else play this? I used to before I picked up Civilization IV. It was good, but could've stood more empires IMO. I played on Oasis a lot, since I like the whole gathering Villagers from everywhere thing. I remember my favored strategies:

Atlanteans: Build your Town Center. Take the Oracle and convert him to a hero. Find the enemy and kill the villagers with it. If you're Gaia, spread forest on building tiles. Bring a Citizen over, build a Temple nearby, and enter the Classical age. Spam Prometheans (or other low-cost Myth Units) and kill.

Norse: Build Stables only. Just send out Raiding Cavalry and use your startinf unit (Ulfsark?) and whip out a Watchtower near enemy resources.

I used to play the game a lot years ago, and then got into it again when I managed to find the expansion pack.

 

[Lord Lakely]

I like the game, though it's not one of my favourites...

My favourite God is Loki (Niddhogg ftw!) ^^

I haven't played the Expansion pack yet, so I haven't had the pleasure to play the Athlanteans yet ^^

AoM IS AoE3!!!

 

[mythmonster2]

Awesome game, Isis takes teh win for me.

Love this game, though I prefer AOE2. Zeus was my favorite god to play as, though the super-early Kronos rush is good for a quick win. Especially vs another Atty

I never played multi, but I found that single player Centaur rush followed by Zeus' hoplites and maybe a tower or two owned. As did using groups of murmillos and Kronos' automatons alternately, depending on what the enemy sends after you.

Oh man I used to love this game. Wanted to get the expansion but never ended getting it. Was I missing out?

I liked the game.

There was some cool things, such as the Minotaurs butthead, etc.

I think they did a big mistake in the expansion.

It should have been possible in the option to enable or disable Titan in a game.

Because one a Titan is built, the game is close to an end...

Steph,

Wasn't that the point of a titan unit anyways. It was a means to end stalemates.

 

[Steph]

Yes, it was, but I would have liked to be able to turn it on/off, so I could play a game with the other units only if I want to.

 

[mythmonster2]

True, the titan always did strike me as "game over" in SP. I usually deleted mine, but then the AIs built their own and I had to take it down the hard way.

 

[Nerowannabe]

Haven't played only demo it looks good though.

 

[Smokey_Monkey]

It's better than AOE3 but not in the same league as AOE2.

 

[hossam]

i wish they would make a sequel for this game

 

[mythmonster2]

Besides the Titans, I assume. Yeah, but since the Titans came out bout 2004, I don't see a sequel anytime soon.

 

[Love]

I love the campaign.

 

[GoodGame]

Never got past the demo for this one. Did like AoE's demo and Empire Earth though.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Age of Mythology had a great campaign, as did the expansion.

 

[Gooblah]

Ironically, I just reinstalled the game.

My skills are weakkkkk....oh man, Ihaven't played in a while. Working through the campaign.

IMO, the original campaign was a ton better than the Atlantean one. The only good scenario in Titans was the one with the automatons, but aside from that...? I think the concept of unkillable Titans pissed me off.
