Because they have been used soooo much before, and the AoM was a nice game, because it had units that were "original" and some I have never seen in a game, so that was nice.

There are so many games with Dragons and Vampires in it, that it just gets a bit repetitive and boring.

To be honest when I hear the word mythology I first think of Greece and Rome.  Then Norse.  Egyptian and Chinese follow.  However, there is American Indian mythology (and it has been around a long time.  Way before the settlers came to america).  Also Aztech, Myan, and a horde of other mythologies.  Still, I picture Zues hurtling lightning bolts and medusa turning somebody to stone.

Dragons are a staple of mythology.  Some of the most awe inspiring and frightning of creatures.  There are many different types then the winged firebreathing ones, however.  Some of my favorites are the chinese types that don't need wings to fly.  So, if you are making a game about mythology, they should be a required addition.  Just keep them in low numbers please?  One or two..at the most.

Werewolves, and Vampires are a bit..different.  Though mythological (as far as we know) I don't know if they would fit in an 'age of mythology 2' game.  Would I like them there.  Sure.  Do they fit?  Not so sure.

Sure they would fit.  I'm not saying they should be a race, just myth units trainable from a Temple.

I disagree with you Daystar, imo, they do not fit at all.

Okay I take away my statement about Dragons, but if there are too many of them, then I would disagree again, because Dragons are in so many games, and it just gets a bit old.

One or two at most, like Mytical said.

So they venture to the Oracle and it says that they travel to Mount Olympos and contact the gods. They do so and the Gods awaken to destroy Atlantis. 90% of the Atleanteans are killed when the Greek and Romans invade their homeland with the help of the gods.
And in one day and one night Atlantis was destroyed and swalloved by the great sea.

UPDATE

The remaining Atleantens flees east and west. To their allies. Those who sail east must sail through the Mediterrean Sea, controlled by the Mediterrean Empire. But with the help of the Far East they manage to sail through the enemies and land in the ancient land of Egypt.
Ancestors of the Atlanteans live their and they have several outposts there. But recenlty a strange plauge has attacked Egypt and their is a civil war in Egypt. With the release of another Titan they win the civil war but the plauge doesnt stop. The titan then tells them that the reason for the plauge is the greek and roman gods and that they should try to destroy the most holy places of the great and romans.
It takes a long time and they lose much but they win and the Mediterrean Empire is weakned and the plauge disappears.
Mediterrean Empire is more angry than ever...
With the romans and greek weakned they can now summon more Titans (Atlantis is the only faction which can have titans).

Norse Campaign. Ragnarök, Twilight of the Gods.
Tells the tale of how the people of the north lived a peacefull life which changed over some hours. Can the norse people survive this terrible destruction which the titans have created?

A great war begins and in the end the Norse must flee south, via the sea which is guarded by krakens they must slay. They meet the Mediterrean Empire fleet outside Spain.
The mediterrean are destroying the remains of the Atlantean Empire and kills the survivors. They ally, since hte Mediterrean Empire tells them that the destruction of Scandinavia is Atlanteans fault.
Together they invade Egypt and kills hundred-thousands.

Far East Campaign. A War Far Away
Titans also invade eastern asia. But they defeat them with the help of the Dragon Artifacts which awakned the chinese Dragons.
Now they must save the world from destruction.

The Chinese emperor has returned with the mysterious dragon artifacts to his homeland. Only to find it attacked by the Titans, the Titans that the Atleantens summoned and they helped to summon...
With the help of the Dragon Artifacts he awakens the Dragons and gathers his asian army for war. They defeat the Titans in Asia with the help of the Dragons.
So they walk west, to Egypt. Its under siege by the Mediterreans and the Norse. They think that the asians will help the Atlanteans and attacks them. The Emperor says that they have a common enemy.
A great, last battle starts. A battle between titans and the warriors of the other races. The Atlanteans is about to win when the Egyptains betrayds them and reveals that they are allied with the other factions. Knowing the weaknesses of the Atlanteans they almost destroy them. Just as the remaining Atlanteans are getting exterminated the Asians of the Far East says that its not necessary.
The only way to prevent the Titans from invading the world is to seal their gates, and that can only be done with the Atlanteans.
The Mediterrean and the Norse strongly disagrees and they become enemies again.
The Far East defends the Atlantens and the Egyptains while they seal the gates across the world. They return to Scandinavia and ends ragnarok, but the land of the Norse is already destroyed and a last battle starts. After a big discussion they agree that the Atlanteans should leave the lands forever and sail across the sea into nowhere.
They banish the Atlanteans. The Egyptains beguns to rebuild their kingdom and the Norse beguns to start a new kingdom in the area of Great Bríttain, France, Germany and old Sovjet.
The Mediterrean Empire beguns to rebuild their shrines and temples and starts a new age. They begin to trade with the Far East and advances greatly learning new things from them.



Expansion soon.
The Atlanteans sailed to the area of Cuba and Bahmas creating a new empire. And meets old forgotten ancestors...

I'm guessing some men in back rooms are, among other things, thinking about this, but there is no official announcement.

Somehow, I highly doubt that there will be a sequel, the only thing I can find on the internet about it is fan hopefuls; I think ES is currently happy with the success of AoE III.

If there was an AoM2, I don't think it should stem too far away from the original AoM; I'd be happy if they kept it AoT and added one new civ, the only thing that I think the game really needs to improve on is the multiplayer issue: the fact that ESO is basically abandoning the game in favor of AoE, on top of the incompatability with IE7. AoM is an awesome game, but for the fact that it takes me 30 min to find a game... even a majority of the experts have switched over to AoE, and it makes me sad
