You will not be able to run this game on Windows 10 without a no-cd crack. It's simply necessary due to the old copyright protections that the game is rooted in no longer being compatible with the OS, ironically due to safety concerns. This means you'll have to do some work to get the game to function (try the AoM sub-reddit for more information), but once you do, everything is worth it. The voice acting is just as mid 2000s as you remember, the story just as strange and wonderful and campy, and the expansion pack offers an intriguing new way to play the game, with a campaign to match. A multiplayer community also still exists for this title via certain programs that can be downloaded and used to interact with and play against people across the globe, just as in the good old days-- but this is all dependent upon whether or not you can get the crack to work.

It doesn't work. Won't load and/or start. I loved playing this game "back in the day", but it no longer works in Windows 10/11. Multiple other organizations are asking for monthly fees to make it work with no guarantees that the issue will be solved.

I gave this game a good, but it borders on excellent. Age of Mythology (Gold Edition) is an excellent strategy-based game. You build the society, you create the armies and you choose the gods to be worshiped in this detailed game. The graphics are outstanding and watching the battle scenes unfold are captivating. If I have a grip its that early on, you can get beat very badly and it can be a little discouraging. But start with the Greeks, worship Zeus and get your feet wet there. Each culture has their own little nuances, tricks and tactics, but you can pick those up as you go along. One big added benefit of this game is that my 10-year-old son is already picking up on how these various cultures operate. The asked a question about the Egyptians in his school last spring (2007) and he whipped off the answer in nothing flat. When the teacher asked him how he knew that, he said that his dad had taken him to the King Tut Exhibit a year earlier and that he had this cool new game. For that reason alone I'm very enthusiastic about this game.Read full review
You can switch and use any God's you wish the game play never gets boring the game has a difficult learning curve but once you learn it you will be glad because of what I have told you so far the god powers are amazing you can be losing the battle and the god powers can sway the battle in your favor unbelievable graphics well worth the money I don't usually gush Praise on games but this is one time I will make an exception like campaigns on this game are not to be ignored as they will teach you methods strategies how to use the game properly that you need to know if you ignore the campaign's then you were probably not like this game but with that said I highly recommend this game

The graphics are a lot better than the older AOE's, but the story line the characters are centered around are a little corny. I didn't like the units that much. Since you are stuck in the ancient time era, you can't really upgrade to something very different and powerful, like AOE3, where you can upgrade to a lot of gunpowder units. There is some good history about it. It shows the different units and strategies that were used during that time. It is a cool game if you are into greek, roman, egyptian, etc. mythology, but it wasn't for me. I never got into mythology that much,so I don't play it. If you really want to get a great RTS game, go the extra step further and buy Age of Empires III, which has more detailed graphics and better gameplay. There is however, something really cool about AOM gameplay. Each civilization has different main gods you can choose from which change gameplay. Each of those gods has different lesser gods. A choice must be made when advancing throughout the ages as to which lesser god you want to worship. Each god offers different abilities, which brings more diversity, even between people playing the same civilization. I bought AOM because I thought it looked pretty cool, but when I did play it, it just didn't catch my eye.Read full review
