Do not look at the Titans X-pack Screenshots! It might ruin your experience.
When news of AoM came out, I followed its every move. Saw every movie, every screenshot there was and loved every one of it. But once the game came out, I was like "WOW!" Unfortunately, that died too quickly for me. I totally lost interest.
I am not the only one who has felt this, I know even many expert players know what I'm talking about.
Aoe2 totally engrossed my interest. AoM only satisfied it slightly.
I think the reason is discovering every bit of AoM before it came out, leaving nothing left for me to find really cool.
Just my two bits.
