Download the Trials, and give them a go! AoM's a great game, you have 3 different civilizations, The Greeks(Which are the most similar to civs in AoE and AoK), the Egyptians(Build and gather recources the slowest, but can get the pharo to empower, to make it faster. Ra's priest can also empower), and the Norse(Infantry build buildings!). Each civ has there own different styles of play. For example, Norse are great for rushing (quick attacks).
There are 9 different gods to choose from, each with there different bonuses, They are...Greek Gods: Zeus, Hades, Posiedon...Egyptian: Ra, Isis, Set...Norse: Odin, Thor, Loki. There are four ages to advance, You start in Archaic, then Classical, then Heroic and last, the Mythic Age. Each time you advance, you choose one out of 2 minor gods, who has there own upgrades, myth units and God Powers.
There are four recource types, Food, Wood, Gold and Favor. Favor is got by praying at the temple(Greek Gods), building Monuments(Egyptian Gods), and Fighting & Killing(The Norse Gods). There are also 3 different types of Units, Human(eg. Villagers, soliders, siege weapons, ships), Myth(Creatures and Monsters like the Deadly Medusa, Firebreathing Chimera or the Tank-like Hydra), and last, Heroes(Like Ajax(Greek), Priest(Egyptian) or Hersirs(Norse, which each have different names). The system is based on a Triangle like rock, paper, siccors, Heroes beat Myth units, myth units beat human units and humans beat Heroes.
With AoM: The Titans expansion, it adds a new civilation, the Atlantens. Atlanten villagers do not need to drop off recources to drop points, but just gather it and it automaicly goes into there recource pile, but their villagers cos more recources. The atlantean gods are, Oranos, Kronos and Gaia. The expansion pack also adds another campaign and other options like Auto-que, (eg. you build a villager from your town center, then click auto-que, and it will keep making villagers and you don't have to click it again unless you want it to stop making them).
Well there you go...an overveiw...have fun!
