Age of Mythology: Retold

Setting

The game is set in a world inspired by ancient mythologies, including Greek, Norse,
Egyptian, and Atlantean cultures. Instead of focusing purely on historical events,
Age of Mythology introduces supernatural elements where gods intervene in mortal
conflicts and legendary creatures roam the battlefield. Players build civilizations
while harnessing divine powers granted by the gods they worship.

Gameplay

Age of Mythology: Retold follows the classic real-time strategy formula of gathering
resources, building settlements, advancing through ages, and commanding armies.

powerful creatures and use devastating god powers during battle.

• Divine Powers: Use powerful god abilities to influence battles and the environment.
• Mythical Creatures: Summon legendary units such as Cyclops, Minotaurs, and Frost Giants.
• Hero Units: Train powerful heroes who are especially effective against myth units.
• Age Advancement: Progress through different ages to unlock technologies and divine abilities.

Civilizations

The game features multiple mythological civilizations, each with unique units,
architecture, and gameplay mechanics. The main cultures include the Greeks,
Egyptians, Norse, and Atlanteans. Each civilization worships different gods,
which grant unique bonuses, myth units, and special powers.

Campaign

The campaign follows the story of Arkantos, a hero of Atlantis who becomes
involved in a legendary conflict between gods, monsters, and ancient powers.
Throughout the campaign, players travel across mythological locations while
facing powerful enemies and uncovering ancient secrets.
