Here we can talk about one of my favorite RTS series, the Age of series. The newest entry is Age of Mythology: The Titans. It rocks. The series was my intro into the RTS genre and I love mythology and the history lessons of AoE, its great. Anyone else play this series?? If not, you can pick up AoE and AoK for cheap.

I love strategy kind of games. I used to play age of kings and did a few maps with different stories. Well I never tried aom because I don't like magical stuff. Am just with the real thing.

Ever since I first played AOE I was hooked for life, and after the first version came the best one of all times: Medieval! Is there a better subject for a game? Big castles, swordsfights, archers, all these things just give me a kick! And dont forget about the graphics, at the time these were state of the art, and now they are still fun!

Favorite playing type was: Britons (me) against Saracens, Celts and Vikings. That was soo much fun, just to use alot of elite longbowmen

My personal favmourite has to be Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings. Althought i played all of the Age series, i liked this one the most, because of the real like maps it includes it in and the actual world civilizations, unlike the first Age series that came out. And when i get a hold of controlling a mongolian army the game gets interesting lol. However besides the interests, Age of Mythology is pretty good i think, because of all the features added to it, such as the zoom where you can just use the mouse wheel and see up close, just like in war craft games. That's pretty cool I think, and the graphics were more realiztec than any other games of the Age series.

When I first played Age of empires I thought it was the mutts nuts but playing AOE2 soon took that title. A few years later I played Cossacks and then the Art of war expansion.

Hands down Cossacks is much better that AOE 1,2 & 3.

The size of the armies, the amout of resources, buildings and technologies, there is no way that AOE can compare. the onething that used toannoy me with AOE is the limited resources, when the gold pile was finished you would have to look for another one, when they were all gone that was it. This severely hampered gameplay, more specifically in multiplayer games. Cossacks doesn't have this problem, them longer you can hold onto the mine and the more villagers you can stuff into it the better.

The armies can be huge, in Cossacks, with AOE I coud have an army of a few hundred, in Cossacks I have had an army of several thousand. the scree could not hold all the armies in some of the battles.

Micro$oft had a good start but CDV did 1 better, several times.
