totally unfair becomes TOTALLY FAIR
I've been playing Age of Mythology so much lately, more than anything, because I just found out another thing to make every match with CPU a lot more colorful LOL
so I just found out in the aom heavens forum that CPU in Titan is indeed handicapped. these guys said that their handicap was 100%, but I didn't know it was like that until I found out that you could play yourself handicapped using multiplayer/directIP option LOL.
now I know the joy of having units trained slightly faster, econ gathered faster, caravans produced much more gold, and so on. +500 gold in one caravan route is easily possible
