Microsoft Game Studios and Ensemble Studios today announced that 10,000 gamers will now be able to play all nine civilizations in the upcoming Age of Mythology online multiplayer alpha test. Previously, only two civilizations were planned for inclusion in the alpha test, but Microsoft and Ensemble decided to include all nine in order to obtain the most comprehensive game balancing feedback.

yes, it'll be fun to know that the alpha players will be able to rush us before we're able to set up any type of defense.

yup, that's 3 months where the alpha players can try out all the various combos, while we lambs wait for the slaughter.

I would assume that this means that they really have come a long way into getting game feature ready and the overall design close to a finished level. We will have to see the alpha first of course, but it sounds good for the production timeline.
