Even times where a God Power has changed the flow of the battle! Games featuring hordes of myth units, well timed and devastating usage of good old God Powers. On the other hand, I’ve played some real scorchers all the way past the Myth Age with a couple players. I just hate it when games like this become less instinctual and more “follow these steps to victory!”. Why would I want to win a game of Age of Mythology BEFORE I field any cool myth units? I don’t even want to learn how I can do that, but I need to learn how to counter it. It’s even turning me off random multiplayer completely. My biggest complaint about multiplayer is the Archer/Slinger/Axe-tosser early rush that I’m facing more and more often lately. Not for any good reason really, it has something to do with their myth units I think, they aren’t exciting to me, as shallow as that sounds it’s true. I’ve played the Egyptians enough to be familiar with them, but they didn’t grab me. Cyclopses versus whatever they decide to make.

I’m considering looking up the cheats and playing a DM against somebody where we agree to only make two comparable Myth units and churn them out.

I like the Greeks too, a lot, but it’s for sentimental reasons becasue I don’t ever do well with them.

It’s just a matter of getting the timing down. I’d say the Norse are easiest for me, especially in multiplayer.
