Similar to other Age of Empires games, players will build massive armies, wage war, and explore new frontiers. Players will now also have the ability to channel the power of the gods, waging acts of nature upon their enemies. Powers include lightning storms, earthquakes, and even plagues, all of which can be utilized to dominate the enemy.
Expanding on the single player experience, the new multiplayer will support four player battles both locally and over the Nintendo WiFi Connection. Players will have access to more maps, customizable rules, and a new Skirmish mode that allows players to build their own custom starting armies. Furthermore, players will be able to share a single card's multiplayer options and a subset of maps will be available for play.
Age of Empire: Mythologies will be available for the DS this November.
Want to hear something sad? I've had the first game since around launch and have NEVER played it (Though I did get it for free from Microsoft).
