Dear Poly People:
Many of you might have been following the development of the Ages of Man game, which is a complete overhaul of CtP2. If you played CtP2 and hated it, forget what you knew then. AOM really is worth your time to try, and I think that the more people from Apolyton who play this game, the further ahead we will be on mod ideas for Civ 4.
So why not try to beat the game just once? I promise it will make you a better Civ 4 player if for no other reason than shaking up your assumptions a little bit.
For those who have followed AOM's development a bit, you should know that Stan has recently come up with a host of refinements that might warrant your giving things a try again if you haven't already. To see some of these improvements Stan is working on, you can read the draft readme of the upcoming build at:
For more information on the rest of the game, please see:
In the spirit of full disclosure, I have been prodding and probbing AOM for some time now (not as much as I would like, however). While I think there are aspects of the game that could use tweaking, Stan has been remarkably open to feedback. Chances are quite good that if you make some decent recommendations that he will consider them carefully. Who knows, you might even have a version named after you.
So even if you don't think that AOM is going to be as fun as Civ 4, please do consider giving it a try if for no other reason than to get your gaming critic hat ready for Civ 4. And if you've played AOM many months ago and gave up for some reason, at least look at the readme to see if anything there looks worth your time.
Finally, if you have nothing other to say than CtP2 sucked, we know that already! Indeed, that's point of AOM.
