Age of Mythology

Introduction

Have you ever played a game that has mythological and legendary elements? Well, Age of Mythology brings you the experience of the myth and legends of the Greek, Egyptian, and Norse cultures. Ensemble Studios develops Age of Mythology, an RTS game, and Microsoft Game Studios is a publisher for the game. On October 30, 2002, AoM was released in North America and a week later in Europe. What is mentioning is that AoM sold over 1,000,000 copies in four months after the game released. Then it was followed by an expansion pack, Age of Mythology: The Titans, a Window version via Steam, Age of Mythology: Extended Edition, and the second expansion pack, Age of Mythology: Tale of the Dragon. Therefore, I was impressed by the number of copies sold in 2002 and the other expansion packs. In my opinion, the game was successful so far, and I am highly recommended to play this game.

More about Age of Mythology

Gameplay

In general, Age of Mythology likes other RTS games. Building your units and towns, gathering resources, training armies, and destroying enemy units are all you have to do while gaming. There are four different “Ages ”: the Archaic Age, the Classical Age, the Heroic Age, and, the Mythic Age, and you advance your tribe through “Ages”. when you reach a higher Age, you can unlock new features which are a benefit for your town. At the beginning of AoE, you must choose your culture: the Greeks, Egyptians, and Norse. Then you choose your main god to start the game, and when you reach the next age, you can select a minor god. Each god in AoE has their powers and a particular spell that can damage the enemy or advance the caster.

In Age of Mythology, there are four primary resources: food, wood, gold, favor. Different of civilian units are in charge of collecting these resources. As I stated earlier, there are three cultures in AoM, which are represented for different ways to receive favor. Having villagers pray at the temple, building the monument, and fighting or possessing heroes to make respectively the Greeks, Egyptians, Norse players gain favor. Moreover, with these resources, you can exchange at a player's market.

About units in Age of Mythology, there are seven subclassified categories: infantry, archer, cavalry (human units), siege weapons, ships (arrow ships, siege ships, and hammer ship), heroes, and myth units. Each unit places a specific population. For instance, civilians take one, and some myth units take up to five. You have a limited number of population slots, but you can enlarge that of population slots by building more houses and town center. Moreover, building in AoM has three kinds: economic building, military building, and a defensive building. Each of those has its features that may advance your gameplay experience.

Besides, the Age of Mythology has a multiplayer game mode, which is most played though Ensemble Studios Online (ESO) or LAN and IP connection. AoM has seven types of gameplay for you to experience: Supremacy, Conquest, Deathmatch, Lightning, Nomad, King of the Hill, and Sudden Death. What i like most is that the multiplayer mode in AoM is free to play.

Age of Mythology is an excellent way to have with your friends, enhance your logistics and learn more grand strategies after battles. If 'cheating' is what you need, active the chatbox, and enter your desired cheat codes.
