About this game
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.
