Mythology is easier to jump into but the skill ceiling isn't as high and the "new" expansions are fucking awful.
Jeremiah Moore
They're both shit.
play starcraft.

they all suck :(

Starcraft is awful. I like building walls and cities, can't really do that in SC.
I haven't played AOE in forever, but I remember liking it more than AOM. In AOM, you need to find town centers so you're kind of limited as to where you can build, but in AOE you can build up a town anywhere you want.
Jace Butler
They're both fantastic.
Age of Empires II is the most mechanically sound RTS to this day, but like was mentioned before, its got a pretty high skill ceiling.
Age of Mythology was the first step towards streamlining the series so its a bit more simple, but I find it really fun just based on atmosphere alone. God Powers introduce a fun dynamic as well.

Empires is better

Play SupCom Forged Alliance.
Or Heroes of Annihilated Empires. It's cheap on GOG now.

Forged alliance is neat.
Heores of Annihilated Empires... i dont see the appeal. i dont understand why you need to decide between RPG and RTS.
Why not both like Spellforce or WBC?
Brayden Gutierrez
Well I like HoAE due to the whole massive armies thing and agreed. The RPG parts can feel shoehorned in.
Spellforce? Man I need to replay it.
Juan Cruz
Spellforce 1 is GOAT tier
Spellforce 2 vanilla is good,e xpansions obviously lacked the time and money.
Spellforce 3 sucked ass at launch but the stand alone addon thtat just came out supposedly turns it around, but i havent played it yet as i dont have the time.
i miss free play mode from 1 tho

Play World in Conflict

Liked 2, but it lacked some things I myself liked in the 1st game. Rune Warriors were clearly much more fun than Shaikan, though the latter weren't bad.
Caleb Anderson
good choice
Aiden Turner
shaikan are prime bad German fantasy writing.
Also i preferred the sheer variety of class options in 1.
Graphics in 2 were nice.
The Addons dropped the ball tho, the shaikan faction looked like complete arse.
Which is a shame since the visual design of SF2 was realy good.
Hunter Robinson
For me it was more about the lack of variety of options from the 1st game. Shaikan wouldn't be bad if they had more visible draconic stuff about them. They simply looked like generic...anyone who drank their blood.

bet you think SupCom is shit too, don't you?

I liked 2 more than 3, all the new races of 3 are incredibly rushed. While it has a campaign as opposed to a bunch of skirmish maps on a big world map, the different starts on the map of 2 actually gave some replay value and made sense thematically where as 3's campaign always plays out exactly the same regardless of the race you use. Not sure why the undead would want to go around killing their own generals.
Eli Moore
AOE2 is something else, the atmosphere is so good and you really get sucked in. The micromanagement aspect is more fun than AOM. I don't really know what AOM has over AOE2 except a lighter setting (fun to mix up with the more dark/gothic feel of aoe2). The user quality changes, like those of AOE3, end up removing features that were actually part of the core gameplay of AOE2.
These days I basically switch between AOE2, Northgard Relics, Rise of Nations and some godsims or city management games. All fun games but only AOE2 is the true RTS there. Rise of Nations is amazing though.

>Still no AoM 2
Essemble please come back.
Nathan Harris
Daniel Butler
PROSTAGMA!
Still play AoM to this day and can tell you that I only play because of nostalgia mostly. The online community is small, either a player is trash/noob or is like me and has been playing since 2002 when it came out and will wreck you.
>Egyptian are broken as fuck, especially Isis
>Norse is trash except Thor
>Greek are terrible
>Atlanteans are low skill
Not even gonna bother talking about Chinese expansion because it's shit

Bitch, Hades and his archers will F U C K you up!
Logan Martin
Age of Mythology for the campaign (has anyone else ever attempted to adapt The Odyssey to video games?).
Age of Empires 2 for the multiplayer.
Michael Robinson
Building a comfy city is pointless when the only thing that matters is creating as much troops as fast as possible. Fuck these games.
Aiden Sanchez
Yeah but Greek are only scary in classical age and easily countered with proper game knowledge, I will at least admit that Hades is the scariest of the Greek 3.
