The gods may well look with favor upon Age of Mythology?and so might you.
The time of the gods will soon be upon us! Age of Mythology is evolving nicely into another fine RTS, cruisin? through time with Ensemble Studios? new 3D Age of Empires?inspired engine.The intuitive controls (already nicely tuned in the preview version) will make you feel like a god as you build a civilization from scratch. You?ll choose from nine civilizations based on one of three cultures: Egyptian, Norse, or Greek. Using a familiar point-and-click interface, you?ll construct villages and cities, fight invaders and monsters, wage war, and otherwise survive to flourish.
Playing with the mythologies through 36 scenarios endows this AOE spinoff with its unique kick. Each culture will have its own gods and special demigods. The Norse cultures, for example, will seek the favor of Odin, Thor, or Loki; and they?ll command the Troll and the Frost Giant, among others. The gods will assist your development and fight at your side if you earn their favor.
Age of Mythology already looks like an excellent and entertaining jaunt through alternative history?make no myth-take about it.
