Age Of Mythology Cheats & Cheat Codes for PC

Age of Mythology gameplay

Ensemble Studios’ Age of Mythology is a real-time strategy game published by Microsoft Game Studios. As a spin-off from the hugely popular and influential Age of Empires series, it shares numerous gameplay elements from its parent game. However, unlike Age of Empires (which uses real-world historical events to base its campaigns and factions off of), Age of Mythology takes inspiration from Greek, Egyptian, and Norse mythology. Instead of opting for tried-and-true realism and military tactics, players have the powers of gods at their disposal.

The development of Age of Mythology was preceded by the release of Age of Empires II and the creation of a new game engine by Ensemble Studios. This new engine, the BANG! Engine is also the engine in use in Age of Empires III, which arrived just 2 years after the release of Age of Mythology. As the first 3D game in the Age of Empires series, Age of Mythology received plenty of praise from critics for its visuals while still retaining the core gameplay of the main series that fans love. Additionally, there is a popular multiplayer mode for the game, although this mode is no longer accessible without a previously active account.

Despite being a spin-off of the main series, Age of Empire has its own series of expansions thanks to its popularity and reception. The first of these expansions is Age of Mythology: The Titans. This expansion is packaged with Age of Mythology‘s core experience in the Age of Mythology: Extended Edition. In October 2022 Ensemble Studios revealed that a remake of Age of Mythology titled Age of Mythology: Retold is in development using the same engine and assets of the Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition. The title has no release date as of yet.

Age of Mythology Premise

Age of Mythology gameplay

Gameplay in Age of Mythology is very similar to that of Age of Empires. Since it is a real-time strategy title, most scenarios in the campaign and beyond involve building up towns and units to then take down and conquer rival encampments. While Age of Empires features different historic ages to advance through (the Stone Age, Iron Age, Bronze Age, etc.), Age of Mythology switches up this format. Players begin in the Archaic Age and can then upgrade to the Classical, Heroic, and Mythic Ages based on their progress through the campaign. Similar to Age of Empires, upgrading your age requires investing vast sums of resources.

The three playable cultures in Age of Mythology are the Egyptians, Greeks, and Norse factions. Each of these cultures has gods based on their mythology and religious beliefs from antiquity. At the game’s outset, players choose which of their culture’s gods they will pay tribute to. These gods then grant the player various boons such as new technologies, exclusive units, and even godly powers to use on the battlefield. Players can also select various minor gods based on their culture’s mythology each time they advance to a new age.

Like nearly every other RTS title, players must manage their resources, with careful gathering and allocation essential to success. Age of Mythology features the same core resources from the Age of Empires series — food, wood, and gold. One key difference between Age of Mythology and other Age of Empires titles is the lack of the stone resource, a critical component in other Ensemble Studios titles. Resources are used to construct and upgrade buildings, train and upgrade units, and repair damaged structures.

Age of Mythology Main Characters

Age of Mythology gameplay

While both Age of Empires and Age of Empires II feature multiple campaigns, Age of Mythology features only one. However, this single campaign is significantly longer than most other single campaigns in the series, with 32 scenarios to play through. The Fall of the Trident campaign features several new characters, along with noteworthy individuals and creatures from each of the game’s cultures’ mythology. The main characters in Age of Mythology include:

  • Arkantos: Arkantos is the main character of the campaign. A resident of Atlantis, he joins up with the Greek army in Troy after the evil pirate minotaur Kamos steals Poseidon’s Trident.
  • Kamos: Kamos is a minotaur that commands a fleet of pirates. His kidnapping and rearing from the Egyptian goddess Bast leads him to steal Poseidon’s Trident from Atlantis.
  • Agamemnon: Agamemnon is the king of Mycenae who starts the Trojan War to reclaim Helen from Paris, the Trojan prince.
  • Odysseus: Odysseus is the king of Ithaca and the very same hero from Homer’s The Odyssey. He appears in Age of Mythology as both a character and a hero unit.
  • Poseidon: Poseidon is the Greek god of the seas and the patron deity of Atlantis. He appears in Age of Mythology as one of the primary antagonists.
  • Osiris: Osiris is the Egyptian god of judgement and the husband of the goddess Isis. He features in Fall of the Trident after the heroes hunt down his body parts to resurrect him.
  • Brokk: Brokk (and his brother Eitri) are the very same Dwarven balcksmiths of legend who craft Mjolnir. In addition to featuring heavily in the Norse part of the campaign, he is also a hero unit players can control.
