Having played Age of Mythology for quite some time, mostly online in multiplayer skirmishes, I became quite skilled at the game and well versed in its many strategies for the different civilizations/gods. I was obviously quite excited to get my hands on Age of Mythology a couple years ago when it came out. Don't get me wrong, it is still extremly fun to play, but for me, there was, and still is, one glaring issue which pretty much removed all the intense strategic necessities of the game; the Titans. When playing the Titans expansion online, the game is no longer about strategy and planning; it simply becomes a race to the mythic age in order to obtain one's titan. Quite simply, the person to get their titan first, wins. Hands down. It is the "I win" button of this game. I just found this aspect of the game unappealing... titans are extremely overpowered, as the only units that can take them out effectively are other titans. And if two titans of equal health get in a fight, there is no strategy to it; the Titan that lands the first blow wins. If you are an AoM fan I would get this expansion for sure... it is just annoying to play multiplayer and have the game always be a race to get the first titan.
