Age of mythology was the best in the series, the battles lasted a lot longer then the starcraft 2 fights that are over in 5 seconds and you had a constant stream of soldiers queued up pouring into the battle, half of which ended up as fodder for the myth units, it's just too bad they never got picked up for a sequel.

It's weird that in age of kings I much preferred playing deathmatch mode online over the regular mode, but in age of mythology the deathmatch mode was terrible and I preferred the regular mode.

What was everyone's favorite god or pantheon? I preferred Isis and making a super huge classic era economy over rushing to the heroic age, usually would hit heroic by 10 minutes after maxing my upgrades with the max of 80 villagers 3+ town centers and the rest barracks and temple units, most memorable game had to be beating another Isis player who got a titan out by 7 minutes supported by chariots while I was still in the classic era with tons of slingers, priests and a simcity base that blocked it's pathing, he quit once the titan died.

The game was a lot better when they eventually got around to fixing the game breaking exploits and bugs many months after release.
Afew off the top off my head,

Norse and Loki were full of bugs that seemed to favor them, Loki had oxcarts that were cheaper faster and suppose to be weaker, but were actually twice as strong.
Loki always won water maps because boats had way more damage then land units and for whatever reason boats counted towards the damage his hero units needed to do to summon myth units so if you ever tried to fight for sea control he would walk in to your base with half a dozen heroes and instantly summon a thousand myth units.

If you were Norse but not loki, you could still win the sea because of the flaming weapons godpower, it would usually double the damage of everything for a minute, but for ram ships it would turn their damage from 20 to +400

When you cancelled a upgrade at 99% or 100% when it was about to finish you'd still get the upgrade, but you'd get a full refund of the resources used for it, I suspected a lot of people using it when my base was flooded by units and the enemy was in the mythic age by 6 minutes.

Not a bug, but at release Set could have his pharoah poop out 1 population monkeys every second for less favor then 2 monuments generated, each one of those monkeys was about as strong as a regular spearman which cost 2 population and a chunk of food and gold, a barracks to train him in and 10 seconds to make, Set would literally drown you in swarms of monkeys if you left the safety of your base, god forbid you started on a map like watering hole and he has been converting rhinos, hippos, alligators, water buffalos and elephants in the middle of the map, his monkeys and animals eventually got some major nerfs, before that your only hope was to find a 1 in 20 games super rare relic that let your villagers one shot animals, which set could just as easily pick up with his wandering priests.

People could cancel the ranked queue as soon as it showed what map it was with no penalty for leaving, so Loki could always play water maps and Odin/Set would always play maps full of animals.

Another bug was Hades could spawn shades from his temple, but if he walled off the temple for afew minutes and then destroyed the wall, a thousand shades would flood out of the temple.

I did not know that microsoft was the reason why it took so long to patch out these major bugs, makes sense.

An age of mythology 2 should just be the RTS verison of Super Smash Bros, but with religion.
