I used to have an old PC at home that ran AoE I/Gold Edition. If only I knew how valuable that was. That game owned when I was 10 and then owned again when I was 15 and discovered the cheats.
Also, I was on AoE3 Heaven.

I played the original/Titans canpaigns but not on anything like Titan difficulty. I was young and foolish. I don't know anything at all about the balance, strategy, or anything of the game. Are there any good summaries? Like I played a bunch of SC2 and AoE3 online so I know the basic ideas. Is AoM a game where you can kinda do whatever you want and just mess around to try to win or is more like SC2 where if you don't have a tight opening and well executed plans throughout you die easily?

edit: I loved the early part of the Arkantos campaign. Like the part where they are discussing building the trojan horse and odysseus is all into it and ajax is like "i don't understand...will it fight??" and everyone just looks disgusted in blocky 2002 graphics.

This game really owns but I think I will wait for a sale. That way I can get it for cheap as well as get it when a bunch of new people will also get it...so I don't need to only play against people who played the original release.
I liked a lot of the set piece campaign missions, like sneaking through Troy, or that one with the son of Osiris summon.
And yeah Atlanteans suck and are overpowered. Having someone else like an Asian culture would have been cooler. Oh well.
I only ever played the campaign and only on like normal and below so I don't really know the real strengths of the civs and gods. I do like the idea of early aggression from a guy like Loki. Didn't Kronos also have some kind of stupid overpowered rush? I can see deconstruct being really annoying early on with multiple uses.

edit: odin also looks real good, somethin like odin -> freyja -> skadi -> tyr? or loki -> forseti -> whatever.

Are people playing AoM online with this release? A lot of them or just a bunch of old hands? Does everyone play titans or no?
