Released by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft Game Studios in 2002 for PC only, Age of Mythology is an expansion pack to the critically acclaimed real-time strategy game Age of Empires II. This epic release further solidifies its place as one of the best games ever created, offering players a rich experience that combines strategic gameplay with mythological depth.

### A Brief Overview

Set in ancient times, Age of Mythology allows players to take on the role of either the Greeks (who are actually inspired by Greek mythology), Romans (inspired by Roman mythology), or Norsemen. Each civilization has its unique set of units and buildings that can be upgraded as you progress through three distinct ages: The Village, Town Center/Feitoria/Castle Age, and Wonder/Mage Tower/Tower of the Titans.

### A World of Mythology

Age of Myths is not just another real-time strategy game; it's a fully immersive experience where mythological creatures like Cyclopses, Minotaurs, Centaures (Centaur), Harpies, Golems, Medusae, and many more come to life on your screen. The graphics in Age of Mythology are simply stunning for its time.

### An Immersive Experience

Each civilization has its own unique set of buildings that can be constructed as you progress through the game. As you upgrade from one age to another, not only do your units become stronger and more powerful but also does your building set change entirely! This adds a layer of depth and strategy to Age of Mythology unlike any other real-time strategy games at its time.

### Achievements Galore

Age of Mythology: Extended Edition offers 70 achievements for players who want to test their skills. These range from simple tasks such as 'Lead Zeus to victory once' all the way up until much more challenging ones like completing certain objectives within specific timescales or even achieving a perfect win streak.

###

In conclusion, Age of Mythology is not just another real-time strategy game; it's an experience that will keep you engaged for hours upon end. With its rich history, immersive gameplay and stunning graphics (for its time), this classic title still holds up today as one of the best games ever created.
