OK. Its april already. AOM has been out almost half a year. So far, it remains my favorite of my entire game collection. By far, the best RTS. So despite my hundredsof hours of enjoyment, I gotta say, I d love to see an Expansion by Christmas!!.
Ok heres my take: It does a GREAT job of describing all the mythology we enjoy in this great game. In addition it has a ton of details and mythology more than what you can learn from AOM. (Did you know that per Norse Mythology, as a reaction to all the pranksdone by loki, the other Gods conspired to kill his 2 sons and imprisn loki ???? so to do this, they durned on of his sons into a wolf. in turn this wold devoured his other son. and afterwards they captured loki and bound him to stone with the intestines of his gutted son. here he would remain with a serpent watching over him until the time of the ragnarok....). BUT BACK TO THE REAOSN I MA POSTING THIS: THE BOOK HAS 6 FULL CIVILIZATIONS THAT THEY TALK ABOUT IN GREAT DETAIL. THE FIRST 3 WE ALREADY KNOW. BUT THERE ARE STILL 3 MORE WHICH WOULDPROBABLY MAKE A GREAT EXPANSION. THESE 3 ARE: CENTRAL ASIA (INDIA)= Very interesting. AND 3. : SO THESE ARE THEY 3 CIVS ID LIKE TO SEE IN THE EXPANSION PACK . GO BUY THE BOOK. IM SURE YOU WILL AGREE. EXCELLENT GAME. I LOOK FOWARD TO PLAYING THIS FOR MUCH THE REST OF THE NEXT 8 YEARS. !!!!!!!!!!
add 3 more civs. The details ofthese, you can work out.
I found an EXCELLENT mythology book that EVERY AOM player should own. It is called the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MYTHOLOGY. you can find it in any big book store or get it from amazon or half.com.
This is a HUGE book (coffeetable). very well written and illustrated. (LOTS OF PICTURES!!
EAST ASIA (CHINA/JAPAN)= WE ALREADY ALL BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE POSSIBEL XPACK
THE CELTS. Thats right Celts!!! And NO this ISNT jsut another make up of the NORSE!!!!!!!!!!!! They are very different. So much that the Celts have their own sevtion separate fromthe Norse. (Whereas the Greeks and Romans which are essentially are the same arecovered in the same chapter together).
