Despite the sad state of affairs for historically based strategy games (aside from the brilliant Total War series, what is there these days?), I eventually stumbled upon this game and was so relieved. Being a former Age of Mythology (I know, it's more fantasy than not) and Rise of Nations fan, I was hooked. The gameplay feels new but has that touch of nostalgia from the Age of and Rise sagas. Great stuff. I also appreciate all the little details, such as the more authentic unit names, the languages uttered by them, the terrain and the building architecture. I do have a couple of questions and if they've already been answered elsewhere, please forgive me. 1) Why isn't Egypt fetaured in the game? Are there plans to include them? I understand why societies like Pontus aren't in game, but Egypt was important during this game's timeframe. 2) Will the game's civilisation selection ever expand into east Asia a la the Yayoi period of Japan? 3) Is there any way to select singleplayer maps without having preset factions and player numbers? Thanks in advance.
