Pretty much my favorite RTS personally right next to Age of Empires 2 (made by the same studio, big surprise)
Why make this topic now? The game is old!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/266840/So Steam is apparently getting a revamped version of the game, similar to Age of Empires 2: HD.

I live under a rock, what is Age of Mythology?
Since you might be too lazy to Google it, Age of Mythology is a RTS where you can play as the Greeks, Egyptians, and Norse civilizations with very unique advantages and drawbacks, and each civilization has 3 major gods to choose along with minor gods to choose from with each age advancement. This ensures that very likely, 2 Greek players will not be the same in terms of technology and strategy. Battles are typical of other RTSs, but the addition of mythological units such as cyclops, mummies, frost giants, etc. along with expendable god powers and unique hero units make it slightly more intricate than Age of Empires. The Titans expansion also adds the Atlantean civilization with their own unique units and gods (and summon-able titans!). Basically, a lot of fun.
What if I want to play with people now?!?!
If you have a copy of Age of Mythology (preferably with Titans, the game is pretty old so you should have the expansion), Gameranger allows players to make servers despite the Ensemble servers being taken down for the game a few years ago. Here is a list of Blocklanders that play from my knowledge, along with their alias on Gameranger:

Also, my Skype is DodgerBL in case you want to play with me and others and voice chat at the same time.
