Total War games I like are Shogun (the first one) and Medieval 1 & 2. Couldn't give a crap about Rome or 18th century Total War. If you enjoyed Age of Mythology, you'll also like Age of Empire (the second AoE is the closest to AoM, so you might want to start there). A useless trivia, but AoM turns 10 this year. Amazing how far technology can go in just one decade. I remember thinking AoM's graphics were the shit, now we can simulate huge battles in Total War games.
