Overview

The Age of Mythology: Gold Edition includes the award-winning original title and Age of Mythology: The Titans Expansion Pack. Coming soon to a software retailer near you.

From Ensemble Studios™, the creators of Age of Empires and Age of Kings, comes Age of Mythology, a game that transports players to a time when heroes did battle with monsters of legend and the gods intervened in the affairs of mortal men.

Taking on the role of one of nine ancient civilizations, players guide their people to greatness by commanding all aspects of their empire: gathering resources, raising massive armies, waging war against enemies, establishing profitable trade routes, building new settlements, enhancing production or military might with improvements, exploring new frontiers, and advancing through four distinct ages.

In their struggle for supremacy, players can use mythological creatures like Minotaurs and Cyclopses to bolster their armies' strength. Players may also call upon the gods for assistance in flattening enemy towns with meteors or scattering opposing troops with lightning storms.

All of this is brought to life using a revolutionary 3D engine developed by Ensemble Studios. The engine is capable of providing the most realistic, beautiful, and immersive world ever seen in a real-time strategy game.

Key Features:

  • Epic Campaigns. Age of Mythology: Gold Edition features two single-player campaigns: a 35-scenario campaign that allows players to take part in an epic mythological tale, inspired by a number of popular myths, and the Age of Mythology: The Titans single-player campaign.
  • Twelve Legendary Civilizations. Players guide their people to greatness by commanding all aspects of their empire: gathering resources, raising massive armies and waging war with enemies, establishing profitable trade routes, building new settlements, improving production or military might, as they advance through four distinct ages and experience the unique cultures of Norse, Greek, Egyptian and Atlantean civilizations.
  • Incredible God Powers. Age of Mythology: Gold Edition brings the ancient world to life in more detail than ever before with exciting gameplay elements and characters.
