Another quality ‘Age’ game from Ensemble Studios!
If you enjoy Mythology or just ancient civilizations in general you will like this RTS (Real Time Strategy) game. I will warn you that this game focuses more on the mythology component. If you prefer a non-mythology oriented ancient RTS you might consider buying "Rise and Fall: Civilizations at War" when it comes out, because it focuses on the ancient civs more then the myth.
The civilizations (Greek, Egyptian, and Norse) are well balanced and each has their unique style of gameplay. The units do not have the same stats with just a different animation like in some RTS games, and even the previous AOE games.
Buy this game you wont regret it! This game also has a better online multiplayer environment then games like Warcraft III, and it’s a lot more fun to play the main game then WCIII. The custom scenarios like Fortblood and Archer Wars are still fun though. Ensemble Studios is another good community focused company who care about your input. A lot of the hardcore and loyal fans eventually are recruited by Ensemble.
