I'm a big fan of Age of Conquerors and I was really anticipating the release of Age of Mythology. I picked up my copy the evening it was released. I thing the game is excellent in all aspects. I am thoroughly pleased. The only thing I am a bit disappointed with is the battle sound effects. Is it just me or are the sound effects in Age of Conquerors quite a bit more realistic? In AOC, when you attack, the swords clanking together and the grunts of the fighters as well as the incredible sounds of the onagers, manogels and battering rams attacking and being destroyed are what really draw me into AOC and give me the sense of urgency to work hard to protect my units. In Age of Mythology however, I find that the sounds are rather dull and silent. I was a bit surprised at this! Has anyone else had a similar reaction?
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy AOM and I think the overall sound is out of this world. I just wish they would have intensified the fighting sound effects to at least the level I am accustomed to and love in AOC. I would be interested if anyone else has noticed this. Thanks.
