I installed Age of Mythology yesterday. Created by Ensemble Studios, it wasn't an Age of Empires sequel but it was certainly done in a very similar style. The game features Greek, Norse, and Egyptian mythologies plus historically accurate units as well. Overall, the controls and concepts are close enough to Age of Kings that I didn't have much of a learning curve. There are some new wrinkles with myth units and gods to worship but I picked them up easy enough. I started the campaign and completed 8 of the Greek missions thus far.

I look forward to watching the story of Arkantos, the Atlantean Admiral, unfold. It's been well worth the wait. This is a great game.
