Each civilization(Greeks,Egyptians and Norsemen) have three different gods to worship.
You can choose to play defensively or to train a great army and attack your enemies, or just live in peace while expanding your economy.
There is also a very good campaign to play, where you must lead Arkantos of Atlantis to beating his arch-enemy, Gargarensis, helped by his Egyptian and Norse friends in his 40-scenario journey.
The multiplayer is also very good, especially if you consider that you can play in alocal connection, or build your empire online.
