There are so many bugs in this game. Considering that the premium edition is 50 euroes for a game that already existed in the past but just higher graphics I'm literally shocked they didn't fix some of the glaring problems of the game:
1.) Cursor issue: often times the icon will freeze in one setting, like garrison icon, or axe for workers to gather wood icon no matter where you point the cursor and that can get really confusing when you are trying to fight a battle.
2.) Connection issues: it takes a long time to connect you with people, and when it finally does it often happens that it doesn't connect one person and just stops the search and throws you out of the lobby forcing you to click to search again.
3.) Ally issues: also something that is regular is that an ally will just quit the game at the start of a team game without any consquences. In CS:GO there is a bit of a cool-down as punishment, but Age of Mythology allows you to straight up connect again even though you have just ruined a team game for another player.

Honorable mentions:
- resources not being adjusted to bottom left option
- no sound made when selecting idle villagers icon
- no option to not select pharoh who is buffing economy in the ALL-Military button
- teleportation on Ra not changing when you are selecting and when you are teleporting a selected military (usually not an issue except when you are trying to select an ally army just barely out of the zone where you can't cast that spell, ending up just teleporting them an inch away)
- NO RANK just numbers. There is no bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, master, grandmaster ranks - no real distinguishable award for reaching a certain level of skill
