Weird it doesn't say the complete title, which should be: "Are TT gonna make AoM into a "Warcraft"
I dunno, one thing i liked about AoM was, that myth units were something special. (About 1 myth unit - maybe 10-20 human units) With TT, we aren't gonna have 4 CIVS, but 2 RACES: Humans and Atlanteans, which (let's face it) are a "MYTH-CIV". There's no proof they existed...All of their Units were made up. Our most reliable sources seem to be Homer and his (invented?) stories. X MUs - mixed into a human army - were nice, but an entirely "myth-army" (=Atlanteans) is going a little over board (IMO). AoM will almost completely turn into a fantasy game (like War3, with Orcs and Nightelves...etc..) I know i'm gonna buy it anyway, cos AoM is my favorite game, but NOW i'm still a little sceptical (sp?)... What do you guys think?

It's yet to be said but I dont' think it'll change the game to a 2 Races thing because there still will be 4 Civs and I'm sure that ES will make it in their best interests to keep the Civs all differentiated as much as before. It's very difficult but I think they can do it.
Also I think it was Plato that talked a lot about Atlantis, not Homer.

Nah in a sense the atlanteans are just another culture of humans. Just because their technologies are different doesn't mean they don't fit into the game.
I think the new civ adds some new dynamics into the game that wern't avaliable before. However I was expecting at least 2 new civs to be added including maybe an asian one.
But anyway from what I've seen it looks great and I can't wait for it to come out.
