I was wondering how the giants are going to attack. Can the giants pick up people and fling them around like in B&W? Things will really look cool if that can happen (Anyone still remember the cheat that makes catapults in AOE hurl villis around? I almost laughed to death on that one!)

The giants can fling people as an alternate attack move (they only do it some of the time). Other than that, I think its just smashing. Get the second official AoM movie to see the hurling. Its sweet.

All of the mythological units have a cool ability. The Cyclops can throw units, picking them up by their necks. Other giants will likely have special attacks of their own. Frost Giants, as another example, can freeze units with an icey cloud that they exhale.
...which reminds me, we've yet to see the Fire Giant attack.

Hrm, I wonder how it will attack...maybe a regular smash and its special ability will involve fire most likely. Of course I could be wrong...like always

The flame might burn the units to death

It's like watching a flock of clown-like apes trying to navigate a ship, even though the ship has in fact been stranded on some kind of reef for about 7 years and none of the apes have noticed it yet. -Drahnier on OD moderation.
