Favour from the gods also works slightly differently with the Atlanteans, to earn favour the Atlanteans must expand their territory and town centres which is not easy, especially in multiplayer. The Atlantean resource collectors don’t have to return with their harvested goods of food, lumber or gold, once they start collecting the resources simply start rolling in, but the cost of harvesting units is steep. During the single player game your armies progress and come up against other Titan units until eventually you get your hands on your very own Titan, but it takes some work to get to that stage in the game.So besides the Titans what do the Atlanteans bring to the game? The Atlanteans differ in a variety of ways from the other factions including resource collection.

Once you’ve constructed your Titan, these massive creatures are the ultimate in destruction and with a few single blows can crush a building to dust and cause absolute chaos on the enemy and his buildings. Obtaining a Titan is not easy though, you need to not only reach the Titan Age but you also need to construct a Titan gate which is a lengthy process requiring much of your villager manpower, and boy does it take time. Once this age is reached, players have access to the new and mighty ‘super units’ the Titans. As before, the Atlanteans upgrade and progress through the different ages but Ensemble have also added the new additional Titan Age. With Kastor and his band of followers you must take on the other more familiar factions of the Egyptians, Greeks and Norse mythologies with the help Kronos and his Titan cronies.The gameplay essentially remains the same as the original game with the single player story spanning 12 missions. The single player game follows Kastor, son of the original campaign hero Arkantos, who is now leader of the Atlanteans. At the start of the game the Atlanteans decide they must follow the Titan gods, much to the displeasure of their Greek counterparts, after they are guided to a new home by Kronos.

Being an expansion pack, you’d expect more missions, a new storyline and of course new options, and that’s exactly what you get in Age of Mythology: Titans.The key to this title lies in the name, Titanst, the predecessors to the Greek gods who after a war were overthrown by the more familiar Greek gods we all knoe and love.

This extension to the game universe follows the story of the displaced Atlanteans and their search for a new home. Ensemble Studios return with the first expansion pack for their top selling 3D RTS Age of Mythology.
