Age of Mythology is also from microsoft, yes.
It's basicly the same.
But more god focussed. Egyptian, Greek and Norse gods.
Age of wonders is completely different.
Here you lead elves, dwarves, halflings, orcs, ... to battle against the other races.
There are different maps to choose from. On all maps you get to choose what race you want to be.
Or you can also choose to play a campain.
Lots of options...
