This time round you were building the armies of the ancient Greek gods and fighting them against Egyptian deities and hordes of their devoted followers. The main gimmick of Age of Empires was that as you developed your empire you had a number of criteria to meet and if you met them your empire advanced an 'Age' and you got access to bigger and better technology.Īge of Mythology took this winning formula but put in the context of ancient mythologies.
But it also had Civlization like technology development. It had base building, resource gathering and troop management. It had a lot of what you'd expect from a real time strategy game. The original Age of Empires was touted as being a blend of Civlization and Warcraft and certainly did it's best to live up to those lofty ambitions.
Age of Mythology is one of the most classic real time strategies around and this expansion improves it by introducing giant Titans to the mix.Īge of Mythology is a spin off from the Age of Empires series that first saw a release back in 1997.
