Yes, however there are some "exseptions" to some civ's. AOE and even some of AOK is, well the same looks for each civ, there is no word that I can think of for it, and then the way things look and the buildings, like Rome, do you really think houses looked like that or that they had Acadimys apart from barracks and I though that the romans were the 1st or 2nd at ballistas and catipults... The civs also had many many more buildings that what AOE has them to have and the triremes, I found out rammed each other and only had two archers, but it is a war game, not to to much on building. The maps are often not at all what they really look like, but the game is still 100% fun. And can you imagine how long it would take to create a game where every civ looks differnat and the game (or documentry , if you turn it into one.) was very accurate, now maybe where there were just maybe 2 or 3 civs in the game but it would really be hard, also in the booklet it has a good deal of history of all the civ.'s

Yes, you will find that many of the scenarios & campaigns in the Granary are better in many respects than most of those provided w/the original game . . some of these guys really do some research!
