It's set in a different age (stone age - ancient times, compared to the medieval times of AoE 2), so obviously the units and unit types are different. All together, it's probably slower-paced than AoE II, there's less technologies overall and no unique units for civilizations. The 12 civs themselves have bonuses and different tech trees though, which in turn enables or disables some of the otherwise regular units and enhancements. There's four different campaigns, although they're less fleshed out than the excellent story-driven campaigns of AoE 2. Well, it basically gives you everything in the briefing before the mission.
Aah, memories.
