AoE was pretty good, but while AoE2 was fun it felt too much like 'more of the same' to me... and I only played the demo of Age of Mythology. But it is a fun series so this one will probably be good too. I think the main problem with RTSes is that I compare them all to Blizzard ones and they all come up lacking, so I just play my Blizzard RTS and don't buy too many other ones. :)
For instance, Blizzard put a fantastic map creator in Starcraft and then improved it in Warcraft III. You have a huge amount of power... and that's not even talking about (user-created) StarDraft... after Starcraft, I was expecting more RTSes to include map creators that allowed you to do such things (in WC3 you can change the interface graphics, add 3d models into the game to replace current unit graphics, add music, and pretty much make your game into a game in another genre... action, racing, puzzle, RPG, etc... the map editor can do it.) in other games.
That didn't happen.
