It is really fun, different to any RTS you have played before.

Main differences to AoC:

- 3 civilisations with completely different buildings, villagers!, and tech trees. There is 3 civs within each main civ you can pick, making a totla of 9 civs.

- No more stone, but a new resourse favour, which is gathered ion different ways for the 3 main civs.

- Town centers can only be built on certain spots, in a 1v1 game there is 8 TC spots on the map.

- Spells, when you upgrade to the next era, 2 pictures comes up on the screen, asking you to pick between 2 different gods to worship. Each god has its own unique bonuses, and a spell. Spells are great fun, one of my favourites, is the earthquake, you pick a spot on the map and earthquake it, all enemy buildings in the area start to shake and crumble, and the ground ripples like water, great to watch.

- flying units

- 3d graphics, like EE but much better

- TC fire arrows automatically

... and much much more
