kiddingguy Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I am thinking of buying a expansion pack of either Age of Mythology or Rise of Nations (Titans or Thrones). I like both of the games, but which expansion pack has the most options, better gameplay, greater graphics etc.? And which expansion pack do you prefer (and of course, why)? Hope you guys could help me out on this tough choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varsity Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I think The Titans has less content (hey, AOM a smaller game full stop) but is more refined and you'll need it for most of the incredible SP campaigns going around. Thrones is bigger IMO more a sort of 'more units means more sales' thing. I've played neither, so I can't comment on very much else. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatik Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Well, after playing Thrones & Patriots, I can safely say you will be pleased buying that, especially if you liked the original RoN. The new Conquer the World campaigns rock big time and, personally, RoN overall is just a fantastic game. I can't wait until finals are over so I can really dig deep into T&P. I haven't played Titans yet, but I'm thinking of picking that up as well because AoM really intrigued me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I'd go with The Titans, myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddingguy Posted May 7, 2004 Author Share Posted May 7, 2004 I'd go with The Titans, myself... Have you played RoN Thrones & Patriots already? And what are the main differences between that game and AoM The Titans? Any help would be appreciated :yes: , since me is having a tough choice in choosing between these 2 expansion packs (and both is - financially - not an option, because I already have other expenditures on my list ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanackle Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I must say that RON T&P is excellent. It has TONs of new content that add a new element to your overall strategy. I don't know if that can be said so much for Titans. T&P adds units and buildings that are very very well balanced, yet change the game to something much better than before. I am still digging into it myself, and everytime I play I find something new and cool! On top of that, I agree, the new conquer the world maps are just incredible. I am loving the cold war and just cannot tell you how much fun it is to have all the high tensions of being nuked by the russians at any time... There is more here than meets the eye!

TheNay Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I played both, and honestly, I didn't see much difference in Thornes and Patriots, however there is more scenerios and such, but other than that, it seemed the same to me. I personally like RoN. but for your money your better off getting The Titans :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNay Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Well thats what I thought of it :p Good luck on your choice ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing-Man Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 One of my roommates purchased it yesterday and it looks awesome. I think he was up till 3:00AM this morning playing Conquer the World mode. All I have to say is that the new civilizations are reasons enough to get this instead of Titans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titans offers less base-building in its campaign and more strategy while Thrones and Patriots let you replay history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing-Man Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Thrones and Patriots let you replay history. Because we all know the Romans civilizaiton has made it to the information age and has the ability to fire nukes and cruise missiles... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldo Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Well, I prefer RoN (only up to the enlightment age - after that the play is way too fast and arcadey). I haven't tried of AoM - Titans (liked the first one though) and I might get that soon. Both are good strat games though. One word of warning- RoN network code sucks. It goes out of sync, lags hard and drops players (even though they are still there) all the time. AoM is def. better in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
