Even though I do not currently own AOM, I am really interested the game and hopefully, someday, I get the opportunity to get the game (I don't have the PC to run AOM, so that is why I cannot get it )
But, for those who are lucky enough to own AOM , what is the underworld Random Map like? From what I understand, the underworld RM is suppose to represent just that: the underworld, with fire and lava. I think that it would be cool to play on the underworld RM...it would be so "epic" and it kind of reminds me of the battle against evil in Lord of the Rings. So, what is it like? Are the lava effects awesome? I am really curious!
Well, see you around and looking forward to hearing more about the underworld RM! Ryan

Yes, there is lava. Birds are replaced with harpies. Shades (ghosts) are scattered across the map, which attack your villagers but offer no food. Serpents are also scattered and serve the same role (being annoying and dangerous). Forests of dead trees exist. Other than that, it's pretty much just like any other RM.

I take it you ment souls necromancer
Otherwise we should call the shoe company and get them on these shades right away!
The "underworld" map does sound like fun...too bad that I don't have the PC to run the game. But, oh well, I can just dream about the game by looking at the screenshots here at AOMH.
By the way, is it possible for Heaven Games to post out more screenshots of this underworld map? I am really curious about it...plus, can we see more screenshots of just regular random map gameplay, instead of scenario screens? If not, that is ok of course.
Thanks again everyone and talk to you all later, Ryan

You're too kind, thanks for the complements. You're obviously a very kind, pleasant and polite person too.
But, just to let you know, even though I cannot run games like Age of Mythology, I truly do have a passion for computer real-time strategy gaming, movies, and the arts/talents...and, right now, I am working hard on a brand new Age of Mythology website that will have tons of informative content. I am really looking forward to sharing it with you all and I will let you know when the new Age of Mythology fansite is up and running.
Again, thanks for the complements Shadewolf and talk to you later! Ryan

Well i for one would be very interested in your new web-site, you have a real passion for this subject and it will be interesting to see how you get on.
LOL Ryan, some ppl reckon i,m TOO easy going and laid-back, i think the fact i,m not very competitive will mean i,ll never be a very good player of AOM I,m only playing the demo at present, getting the full game as a xmas gift.
