• Experience
This game allows you so many different configurations especially if you have all the expansions, which are as follows Titans and history of the Dragon.
Came with 5 campaigns.
As well came with 35 maps also brings a map editor so you can make your own.
Four civilizations, which are as follows Greeks, Egyptians, Nordics, Atlantis and Chinese. Each civilization has different graphics and social systems, economic and military technology. The balance between them is well done.
In addition, each civilization brings its own 3 supreme Gods and 6 minor gods which you can only use 3 per game, giving a large number of configurations. Gods also gives you different technological advantages, Heroes and divine powers, the divine powers that you can have are a total of 4, the Atlanteans have the ability to use more than once, my favorites are the divine powers of the Greeks. In addition, if that was not enough you have the ability to have a titan that is different for each civilization.
The graphics are very good, also can be done make the passage of day to night and even snow.
The sound effects are very good, with each character has their own and in each of their native languages.
