A spin-off from the Age of Empires series, Age of Mythology shares most gameplay elements from AoE except that it derives from mythology instead of history. Players lead a civilization, same as AoE, but now players can train and maintain mythological creatures like Hydras, build fantasy buildings like the Gaia Forest and wield powerful spells and curses obtained from worshipping gods. The game features a single player campaign and multiplayer modes through LAN.
Age of Mythology is a 2002 real-time strategy video game developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft Game Studios for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. A spin-off of the Age of Empires series, Age of Mythology takes some of its inspiration from mythology and legends of the Greeks, Egyptians, and Norse, rather than from actual historical events. Many gameplay elements are similar to the Age of Empires series, while mythological creatures and supernatural powers move it beyond the realm of realism. Its campaign follows an Atlantean admiral, Arkantos, who is forced to travel through the lands of the game's three cultures, hunting for a cyclops who is in league with Poseidon against Atlantis.
