Uhh .. given Ensemble's track record, I'm really surprised you're all shitting on this title. I am 100% sure it is going to kick ass. Come on, man, they made AoE2! Still one of the best RTSes ever

does this game use isometric 2D graphics, just like AOE, AOEII and the dozen 'expansion packs' released over the last half-decade?

Age of A Fantasy RTS That Doesn't Look Like Total Shite??

Now that will be something worth being suspicious of waiting for (/me spent the whole weekend trying to find a purty fantasy RTS....nope). Hmmm wasn't there a shot of this when it was called RTS III that looked astonishingly bad?? Or have I got that wronf??

Ok. like 50% of the people who read the shack are strictly FPS folks, and most of those are extreme cynics, so I can understand the blantant stupidity and ignorance I'm seeing in this thread.

Let me set the record straight though. AOE and AOE2 totally rocked like you wouldn't believe, so there is no need to bash this title.

Carry on, move to the next title and bash it.

Its basically a less realistic and more mythological age of empires... Still an RTS, not really a god game like b&w. They're just using real mythology as a backstory instead of actual historical data like the previous 2 age games.

Doesnt that just sound like Kingdoms? I think the name was Kingdoms....something like Starcraft but with Dragons and shit. I had the game for a while but it bogged down horribly in gameplay.
