AoM Introduction to Game for n00bers

I want say anything for the scenario if you need it just PM to send it to you
Buildings
The numerous buildings of each civilization in the game are masterfully detailed and rendered, which the great artists at Ensemble Studios can be thanked for. Each of the three civilizations has a distinct building set and like previous Age games, when one upgrades to the next age, the building set also changes. Choosing different minor gods will not change the look of your buildings; however, there are some instances, such as in the case with wonders, when it will give you a special building model.

Egyptian Buildings (http://www.planetageofmythology.com/aom/buildings/egyptian)- The Egyptian building set is strong and sturdy
Greek Buildings (http://www.planetageofmythology.com/aom/buildings/greek/)- The Greek building set has a classical and sleek look
Norse Buildings (http://www.planetageofmythology.com/aom/buildings/norse) - The Norse building set has a rustic and earthy feel

God Powers
God powers are a new invention in the Age series and will forever change the way the game is played out. Each god grants one power per age and you may use them whenever you choose to throughout the game or in other words, you can save them up to use in the last age, use them immediately, or not use them at all. You can only use each power once during the game so you must be selective of the times you use them. Your god powers are displayed at the top center of your screen for easy access.

Egyptian God Powers (http://www.planetageofmythology.com/aom/god_powers/egyptian) Choose from the powers of the major gods Ra (Rain), Isis (Prosperity), and Set (Vision) and the minor gods of Bast (Eclipse), Ptah (Shifting Sands), Anubis (Plague of Serpents), Hathor (Locust Swarm), Nephthys (Ancestors), Sekhmet (Citadel), Thoth (Meteor), Horus (Tornado), and Osiris (Son of Osiris).
Greek God Powers (http://www.planetageofmythology.com/aom/god_powers/greek)- Choose from the powers of the major gods Zeus (Bolt), Poseidon (Lure), Hades (Sentinel) and the minor gods of Athena (Restoration), Hermes (Ceasefire) Ares (Pestilence), Apollo (Underworld Passage), Aphrodite (Curse), Dionysus (Bronze), Hephaestus (Plenty), Artemis (Earthquake) and Hera (Lightning Storm).
Norse God Powers (http://www.planetageofmythology.com/aom/god_powers/norse)- Choose from the powers of the major gods Odin (Great Hunt), Thor (Dwarven Mine), Loki (Spy) and the minor gods of Freyja (Forest Fire), Heimdall (Undermine), Forseti (Healing Spring), Njord (Walking Woods), Skadi (Frost), Bragi (Flaming Weapons), Baldr (Ragnarok), Hel (Niddhogg) and Try (Fimbulwinter).

Hotkeys
If anything is evident in the expert community, it is the use of hotkeys. Almost every high-profile expert of the past few years has used at least some system of hotkeys. Using them will make you approximately a quarter to a third faster when it comes to your gameplay and that means quite a lot over the span of a full game. If you just can't understand how that one person is beating you and creating armies so quickly, they might not only be a better player than you, but may also be using and be quite efficient with hotkeys.

you make the game sound interesting enough , maybe I'll chekc it out. I'm new at this type of game so do you mean like setting hotkeys in the options like where say in ut2k3 you customize your keys yourself or do you mean those hotkey programs?

[Virtuosofriend]

I mean the hotkeys of the game.Btw Strategy games is the best genres of the whole gaming comunity!!!Im really glad that you finally decide to join us :D

[Machiko]

well i want to get into it. I think I might suck though because I am only good at controlling myself...but I would like to learn and you make this game sound REALLY good which already sparked my interest to check it out. I mean in games like UO, which i mentioned i play...theres strategy in that but you still control yourself and the other players just better stick with the game plan but i dunno anything about these kinda games other then this AoE2 sounds great.
