Yes and you also choose your god and team. bye choosing your team you go and click on the number bye your name. To change your god you click on the picture of the god you want. If you dont have an account you go to new account fill out the info and do what the other guy told you it's simple if you wanna go into chat cilck chat. If you wanna host a game you should click host in the bottom right corner creat a name for your server and click public and how many players can join. Public means anyone can join private means only people you can invite can join.
when you get into your server pick map game type and if you go into advanced options you get more but i'd leave them alone. There's a thing called a freinds list where you can add freinds if you go into chat room you will see it in the bottom left corner or if you create a serever you can add delete and talk to freinds. To join an advanced setup game just click and you should see connecting and a count down if it gets to 100 and your still not in go to cancle and try another server. There are serveral different chat rooms in this game so you will have to pick one in the top right corner of your screen.
Dont go to quick setup do it only if you want a rated game. you choose your god your map and how many players you want and try's to find a player/players that chose the same map and game type and players.
If you wanna see your stats click on stats thas bye chat and if your not rated go to not rated in the upper left corner and search click on your name and there you go.
Hope i was a help.
