Age of Mythology

Does this sound very familiar to you?
This is one of my childhood's favourite game!
Reason? Of course is because of the ancient Egypt elements!

Age of Mythology (commonly abbreviated to AoM), is a mythology-based, real-time strategy computer game developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft Game Studios.
Age of Mythology takes inspiration from the myths and legends of the Greeks, Egyptians, and Norse, rather than from actual history.

At the beginning, you can choose either one of the god to start the game. I remembered there's Ra and Isis from the tribe of Egypt. Each of them will have different design of buildings and armies. 
Buildings in Age of Mythology can generally be split into three categories; economic buildings, military buildings, and defensive structures. 

 Playing this game was like go into the Ancient Egypt time, and build your kingdom, feed you people. and protect them.
I especially like their design of temples. Different styles, and when more people go to pray, you will get more and more power :D

Have to admit, playing games won't just bring you bad effect. Somehow you can really learn lots of things.
Architecture design, character design, story line, background music... All of these can be learnt at the same time when you're having fun. Isn't it nice?

『Age of Mythology's graphics were praised by the majority of reviewers. IGN reviewer Steve Butts stated that "some fantastic effects and believable animations make this one a joy to watch. The differences between the armies and environments are awesome." As such, he gave the graphics a rating of 9 out of 10. Meanwhile, GameSpot reviewer Greg Kasavin also rated the graphics 9 out of 10, stating that "Age of Mythology is a great-looking game, filled with bright colors and carefully detailed animations." Game Revolution also appreciated Age of Mythology's graphics, stating in their review that the "new 3D landscape looks good", and including graphics as one of the positives in the review summary. PC Gamer reviewer William Harms admired the graphics, "The environments, units, and buildings are packed with detail," and excitedly commented on the effects: "What really impressed me, though, were the game's animations. When a Minotaur smacks a dude with his club, the schmoe goes flying, skids on the ground, and then bounces back into the air."』

See, this is really great.
