I used to play this game (casually) about 10 years ago and recently saw a new version has been released on steam for quite a high price considering how old the game is. I really enjoyed the game back in the day so I'm tempted, as Multiplayer is the only thing I wished for back in the day, but I've heard bad things about lag, connections ect is it as bad as its made out to be? As a side note I may still have a old copy of it lying around at home as well but as I play on a Laptop (fairly new but nothing special and I'd have to get a Disk drive for it) I'm also wondering If it could handle the game reasonably well and if it would be better getting it on Steam or using voobly if I can find the hard copy somewhere. Thanks! |

if you order a pc from NASA you will most likely not encounter issues with lag. in any other case stick to voobly. |

Here is a link to the AoMx NOCD Loader
Aomx_NoCD_Loader.zip ( 2.73k )
Number of downloads: 64 , download this file and put it in (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\ ) after you have installed the game. Someone please help him, this is what he pm'd me, he download the ISO files for AoM: "I downloaded the file and have a folder with 3 files disk one disk 2 and the titans and also a crack folder with AoM.exe but when I try to load this it says I dont have the dll even though I have downloaded one. I don't have a hard copy of the disk though so I may have been downloading the wrong files if this way needed a hard copy of the game, so if you have the no CD link i could try this next thanks." Edit: Watch this video: (You have to download the free image burning software here http://www.imgburn.com/) This post has been edited by LNC_GoldenAxe: Mar 11 2015, 11:41 AM |

there's another solution and might be easier for computer newbie: 1. go to pirate bay 2. click how do I download and follow instructions 3. search "Age of Mythology Gold Edition" on there and choose the one from riku1553 4. after download click 1 file and it installs everything (after install you are ready to play offline, for online you'll have to install gameranger/voobly of course and they'll work with this perfectly) now.. if you can't manage that buy steam version but you'll need much better computer and there's not much people online |

So I downloaded the file and now can play the original game fine, but when I try to load the titans expansion it comes up with a "unable to find splash resources" message, anybody know whats happening here? the original game works fine just the expansion is not working thanks. |
