Trivia
The UK edition of the game is said to include a novel by David Eddings 'worth 6.99 £'. Either most people didn't like it and threw it away or it never was there; anyway it's definitely pretty hard to find.

The song "Highmen Theme" seems to be remix of Journey.umx which is played during the Nagomi Passage level ('day' version) in the Unreal mission pack 'Return to Na Pali'.

The race "Highmen" in AoW was renamed to "Archons" in AoW 2 : The wizards throne.
Reason? The devs didn't like that the sound of the word "highmen" is quite similar to another english word, which means something completely different....

Most people playing the game for the first time faces the same problem : How do you get units out off a boat?
This is not covered in the (quite poor) manual, and the words "How do I get off the boat?" is probably the most posted and joked about in the AoW-forums.
