The original Gullinbursti's creation is the focus of the Golden Gift campaign. The same goes for the Battle Boar: It's a lesser replica of Gullinbursti, made by Brokk and Eitri. Subverted with the Norse Fenris Brood and Jormund Elver, which are noted to be the offspring of Fenrir and the Jormongund, respectively.
Many unique creatures from mythology became standard unit types that you can train any number of, such as Medusa. Age of Titles: Continues the trend from Age of Empires, obviously. This is a far cry from its mythological characterization, where it's the only one of its monstrous kin to not be evil, and as the guard dog of the Underworld, Cerberus would have been one of the main parties trying to stop the Titans from getting out. Adaptational Villainy: The Greeks' Titan unit is Cerberus, and its role in the Titans campaign is a mission where it's wreaking havoc in Egypt on behalf of Kronos. Her 3D model appears to be a young beautiful woman, but her portrait depicts her as someone less attractive, as well as different from her model. Many male gods who are traditionally described as youthful and handsome instead appear old and grey. Adaptational Modesty: Atalanta is shown dressed much more conservatively than in classical depictions (where she was usually dressed in skimpy hunting dresses and bikinis). The game mostly goes for fanservice with its depictions of goddesses, most notably Isis and Theia, but some of the male deities like Dionysus and Ares who are traditionally depicted as handsome and youthful appear old and grizzled in their portraits. Adaptational Attractiveness: Zigzagged. Arkantos in particular spends a lot of time facepalming at Ajax's stupidity. Action Figure Speech: The models do this, though their gestures are actually rather sensible. A Commander Is You: See the different examples in the game's Character sheets. This, in turn, received a second expansion pack in January 2016, Tale of the Dragon, which introduced the Chinese civilization and its mythology into the mix.ĭuring the Age of Empires 25th anniversary celebration, a second Updated Re-release, Age of Mythology: Retold was announced. The game also received an Updated Re-release on Steam in May 2014, known as Age of Mythology: Extended Edition. There's also a much lesser-known tabletop game made by Eagle Games, as well as a Turn-Based Strategy game for the Nintendo DS called Age of Empires: Mythologies developed by Griptonite Games and published by THQ. 
It revolves around Arkantos' son Kastor being tricked into weakening the gods by destroying their monuments so Kronos can escape Tartarus. The Titans expansion, set 10 years after the original, addes a civilization, Atlantis, and only a third as many missions as the original game. Naturally, Arkantos needs to stop him, and to do that, he journeys from Atlantis, to Greece, through the Underworld, to Egypt, up to Scandinavia, then back to Atlantis. After taking Troy and sailing to Greece for repairs, they stumble on a plot by Gargarensis, a cyclops demigod who is trying to help a god release Kronos from Tartarus.
That is, until Atlantis is attacked by strange monsters and men in black ships, prompting Arkantos to go off to Troy and help Agamemnon finish The Trojan War to curry favor with Poseidon. The plot of the original game follows Arkantos, an Atlantean Admiral who battled monsters in his time but is getting old, and since no one's really attacking Atlantis, he doesn't have much to do. Rather, it was based in ancient Earth, where there were real Gods and play as three civilizations based on their various mythologies, and followed consistent, original storylines through characters and in-game cinematics. It had similar town-building structure and similar units, but veered away from the traditional realism of the Age of Empires series. Age of Mythology is a spin-off from the Age of Empires series.
