Darth Groovy Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 This is the game I have waited for all my life. I am a huge Mythology enthusiast, and I love the Ages of Kings games. Lookie here! For good mythology movies, go with Clash of the Titans and Jason and the Argonaughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Groovy Posted September 29, 2002 Author Share Posted September 29, 2002 Last time I checked they did, but you may want to ask them. And Age Of Kings is the best RTS ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'jais Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Is age of mythology out already? IMHO, I think blizzard and the AoE-makers should have stuck with 2d graphics - between wanting some super slick 2d engine with sharp, excellent visuals and some pathetic, butt-ugly 3d engine, I'd choose the 2d one...

Wes Marrakesh Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 cjais, I must agree with you there. Ever seen empire earth? The graphics on that game are terrible! If you can't make it work, don't bother; especially when you can fall back to something good. Will I get it? Perhaps. I loved AoE and AoK, but I have wandered from the RTS genre. I hate all the micromanagement, and games take SOOO long. So my vote is undecided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't make it work, don't bother; especially when you can fall back to something good. Yeah - FPS's need 3d graphics to make it believable and realistic, not too mention it wouldn't be a FPS if it hadn't got 3d graphics. RTS's doesn't 3d for the hell of it - does a tiltable camera aid you in playing? Is the top down look the best when it comes down to it? No and Yes. If warcraft3 had had starcrafts gorgeous engine, would it then have been a worse game? Could all of the new fancy schmancy additions work just as well in a 2d environment? No and Yes. I rest my case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Well Age of Mythology looks awesome...loved Age of Empires games (tho they are a bit outdated now) and this looks like to be much of the same concept..but with suped up graphics and a lot of extras:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyOneCanoli Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 Hell yeah. I'm a huge AoK and AoE fan, it would be crazy for me not to be interested in this game.

teutonicknight Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 For those who are saying that AOM is going to be a bad game: You are mistaken! I beta tested AOM The concept of God Powers and myth units are amazing have have been perfectly intergrated into the game with *almost* no flaws. (I actually did find some flaws.. but thats not the point....it will be fixed in the full version anyway....). The 3D engine is great: the landscapes are a site to look at: Much better than that low polgon/ crappy zoomed up/blurry Empire Earth Engine. I do have one thing that I did not like about AOM though: The high system requirements! They may not seem high to 90 percent of the people that play games, but I have a old machine! My computer barely surpases the system requiredments for AOM Still runs though.... O, and Darth Groovy: Of course i'm an AOK fan! Pretty good at it too (well not really, but I beat all my friends! They could never counter my Elite Teutonic Knight Rush ) Incase your wondering, my TK Rush consisted of mining gold immediatly in dark age (I know, weird, but you have to start there or you'll run our of gold in IMP age), them rushing to castle to build as many TKs as you can. With your remaining gold upgrade your infantry armor and attack. Then going to imperial age, upgrading to Elite and attacking Basicly focusing all your gold on Infantry. There are a ot more details, but I don't feel like going into them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
