Age of Mythology
Command all aspects of your empire as you guide one of nine ancient civilizations to greatness. Gather resources, raise massive armies, wage war, establish profitable trade routes, build settlements, explore new frontiers, and advance your people through four distinct ages.
Mythology
Bolster your army's strength with mythological creatures like Minotaurs and Cyclopes. Call upon the gods for help flattening enemy towns with meteors or scattering opposing troops with lightning storms. Age of Mythology gives you over 30 God Powers and 40 Myth Units through 9 unique major gods and 27 unique minor gods from three distinct cultures: Norse, Greek, and Egyptian.
Immersive 3D World
Mythology is brought to life through a revolutionary new 3D engine created by Ensemble Studios especially for Age of Mythology. While Age of Empires and Age of Kings both used a 2D engine, Age of Mythology offers a rich 3D world filled with realistic terrain, water, and intense special effects. Enjoy lifelike rolling terrain, beautiful waves and water, realistic sunlight, and lush forests. The units roaming these environments are incredibly detailed, move naturally over the terrain, and come to life through hundreds of fluid animations. Amazing special effects change the look of this beautiful world when the gods get involved: all grows dark as an eclipse takes effect, funnel clouds twist and grow as a tornado sends buildings spinning toward the heavens, and meteors streak in from the heavens to send people and armies at the point of impact flying.
Epic Campaign
Follow Arkantos' journey through ancient lands and epic battles in a 35-Scenario campaign. Guide your forces from the siege at Troy, to the pyramids in Egypt, to the snow covered mountains in the North, to the mythological underworld. As progress is made through the single-player campaign, parts of the story are presented using in-game cinematic interludes, featuring the actual units being played with (and the environments played in) to tell the tale.
A Game for Everyone
Age of Mythology features an entertaining tutorial, an intuitive interface, and logical game rules that combine to allow anyone to quickly and easily learn to play. Once started, there is a lot to explore: an epic 35 scenario single-player campaign, easy-to-use multiplayer gaming online, single-player games against the challenging Age of Mythology AI opponents, more than 15 different random map types that help make the game infinitely re-playable, nine highly differentiated civilizations, multiple difficulty levels to allow players of any skill level to have an enjoyable game, and, of course, a fully functional scenario editor. Age of Mythology offers something for everyone: a fun game for any playing style or skill level.
