Age Of Mythology Invades Atlantis
Thanks to GameSpot for their hands-on preview of Age Of Mythology: The Titans, the expansion pack to the popular RTS which "chronicles how the surviving Atlanteans were able to rebuild their civilization." One of the big selling points for this add-on seems to be, well, the Titans themselves: "Each of the game's four civilizations has one unique titan. All the titans are massive melee combat units that move slowly and inflict incredible damage, and they can also take a lot of punishment, as each one has 7,000 health. That's almost six times as many hit points as the closest comparable unit from the original game, the colossus." There's also an impressive-looking set of screenshots for the Ensemble-developed expansion, which is due out in October.
Why is this a troll?
He makes a good point, I have AOM but little desire for this expansion, all it has is bigger units from what I can tell.
On another note when it is there going to be a RTS that requires strategy and not quick clicking and knowing the build "route".
It seems that there is too much micro-managing in these games.
For instance, why do I have to tell my scout to scout? Maybe with different aggresiveness settings?
Tell a raiding party to knock off laborers if a army comes to thump you, then RUN!
I could go on.
