To play it was more interesting and enjoyable, the developer provides the gamer with the opportunity to create a combat titanium. With this very destructive creature, battles are obtained with an unprecedented hitherto scope. You will learn more about the "Age of Mythologies" from this article.
Acquaintance
AoM belongs to the genre of real-time strategies. You will have to use the available resources to build cities, create armies, as well as destroy enemy troops and villages. The player is provided with an archaic, classical, heroic and mythical era through which he needs to lead his tribe. Each transition involves the introduction of a certain amount of resources in the city center. In each subsequent era, the gamer has new combat units and buildings. The player needs to go through one central campaign, which is represented by 32 missions. Despite the fact that several elements of the gameplay were borrowed from the Age of Empires series of games for AoM, in the “Age of Mythology” the plot is based not on historical authenticity, but on ancient Greek, Scandinavian and Egyptian legends and myths.
About Missions
There are three factions available in The Age of Mythology, namely the Scandinavians, Egyptians and Greeks. Each nation has nine minor Gods and three major ones. Which god will be the main player chooses at the beginning of the game. Minor ones are already determined in the transition process. In the game "Age of Mythologies" in the first missions you have to be for the Greeks, then for the Egyptians, and then for the Scandinavians. In the last two missions, you will again play for the Greek race. Each mission provides several tasks that must be completed in order to win. In addition, you will also be offered other tasks that are not considered mandatory. However, it is better to deal with them to get bonuses.
About Resources
In The Age of Mythology, you have four resources: food, wood, gold, and blessing. The Greeks receive it in prayers at the temple, the Egyptians - after the erection of monuments, and the Scandinavians - during the battles. The stone used in Age of Empires is not provided by the developer in AoM. Through resources, you build buildings, hire units and learn various technologies. Resource mining is carried out by special work units. Sources are very different. For example, picking berries, fishing, hunting, working in gold mines.
About Units
Their number will depend on the number of settlements and buildings. Unit is an ordinary person, which, however, is subject to improvement. For example, you can upgrade a soldier with new skills. Military units can be humans and mythical creatures. The former are represented by foot soldiers, cavalrymen and archers, the latter by heroes and mythical creatures.
