Age of Mythology

[alofatti]

My personal experience with the game:
I have played the first 19 scenarios of the main campaing and I must say that this game is quite good indeed.
At the beginning I was a little bit upset with it because it didn´t look much different than AoE or AoE II but later on it starts to get more interesting.
Graphics are very nice, specially the egyptians one.

You're suppossed to knock down two boulders and then focus all of your efforts on the ram, IIRC.

The Tug of War mission is in the middle of the Egyptian part of the campaign...I think.

Yeah, you are. I did this mission last night.

Attack the two boulders first to block off the enemy re-enforcements and then throw everything you've got against the ram.

Loads of people must have this by now. Should I get it?

I think I've beaten that one... I'm on mission 15, "Tug of War" rings a bell. Is that the one where you've gotta bring in the piece of Horus into your town before Kemsyt gets it into his? The map is more or less shaped like an "S"?

How about this?
I bought a packet of breakfast cereal last week that came with a CD advertising and demoing AoM and including AoE1.

I have never played any "Age of" games. Should I install and play AoE1 or is it a crock?

[tniem]

Play AoE. It is really good. And the demo for AoM is fantastic. I am looking forward to getting it soon.

[DrSpike]

Hmm, acquired this today, and it doesn't work. Bit of a bummer really, was looking forward to it.

[FrustratedPoet]

Any idea why it doesn't work?

[DrSpike]

The clue is in the word 'acquired'.

[FrustratedPoet]

yeah ... sorry, I'm a bit slow today.

have you given up on it, or are you going to get it by more conventional means?

[DrSpike]

Yeah I think I will. Do you know how many active MPers there are?

[FrustratedPoet]

thousands (I'm not one of them, though)

[DrSpike]

You should be, MP rocks

I guessed there'd be quite a few since AOE2 was so popular.

[FrustratedPoet]

I'm thinking of getting into MP.
I've recently tried playing the AI on Hard difficulty and setting it's tactics to "Aggressive Rusher", which should reasonably approximate MP tactics.
I'm winning more than I'm losing, but humans are always better than the AI.

I can't decide whether I like Loki (norse) or Hades (greeks) as my prefered faction yet. I like Loki's ability to summon Myth Units in battle, and I like Hades' Sentinel power (good rush defence) and improved archers.
