Egyptian players start with one Priest and more can be trained once a Temple from the Archaic Age. They are weaker but can be mass-produced. Osiris also grants New Kingdom, which gives the player a second Pharaoh (who can stay at home while the Son of Osiris fights). The strongest hero in the game by far, the Son of Osiris has dramatically increased hit points and a deadly chain lightning attack which can attack up to four units. The Mythic Age minor god Osiris has a god power that transforms Pharaoh into the Son of Osiris. If killed, he soon rises again at the Town Center. He is not particularly strong, but he does gain 20% attack per Age advance. The Pharaoh is able to empower buildings, improving all of the building's functions, and heal allied units. The Egyptian player starts the game with a Pharaoh, who does not occupy any population slots. Pharaohs and Priests are the standard heroes of the Egyptians. Both Pharaohs, a Priest, and the Son of Osiris. Nevertheless, they are susceptible to counter-infantry units such as the Hypaspist, and, like other Norse infantry, they can build and repair buildings.Īge advancement grants Norse heroes the following improvements:Īll Egyptians heroes. However, they are not quite as good against myth units.īoth types of Norse hero are also considered infantry units, though, as usual with heroes, they do not benefit from infantry upgrades. These heroes are similar to Hersirs, but are faster, have better armor and a stronger basic attack. Mythic Age players who worship Baldr can use the Ragnarok god power, which instantly transforms all the player's Gatherers and Dwarves into Heroes of Ragnarok. The other type of Norse hero cannot be trained. They are formidable against myth units but are otherwise average melee fighters and not cost-effective against human soldiers. Hersirs can be trained at the Temple in the Archaic Age and at the Longhouse in the Classical Age. The main Norse heroes are the Hersirs, the captains of the Viking army. The Hero of Ragnarok has three difference variants. The Heroes in the Mythic Age vary more and each has its own special attack.Īge advancement grants Greek heroes the following improvements:īoth Norse heroes. The three Greek heroes of a given Age are very similar to each other up to the Mythic Age. They can slay myth units with ease and can hold their own against human soldiers, so long as they are not numerically overwhelmed. However, Greek heroes are far stronger than those of the other four cultures. This means that Greek players are limited to a maximum of four heroes (or five with Poseidon). Each Greek civilization has individual, named heroes, all of which are famous figures in Greek mythology.Ī new hero becomes available at the start of each Age. After that, it looks like Age of Mythology will be the next big RTS project.Greek players are able to train heroes at the Town Center once they have built a Temple, and at the Fortress from the Heroic Age. Microsoft has been reviving its older RTS franchises for a few years now, starting with a trilogy of Definitive Edition remasters for Age of Empires 1, 2 and 3, leading up to the launch of Age of Empires IV, which is due to release later this year. Following on from the Age of Empires preview event over the weekend, PCGamer asked Isgreen about Age of Mythology again, to which he replied: “I've said this before, and I'll say it again: I have not forgotten about Age of Mythology. Now here we are in 2021, and no, Isgreen has not forgotten about Age of Mythology. Things went quiet for a while after that as focus shifted to reviving the Age of Empires series, but Age of Mythology could be next in line for a bigger revival.Īdam Isgreen, franchise director, said back in 2019 that the team was indeed mulling over some early ideas for bringing Age of Mythology back, although those ideas ranged from a simpler ‘Definitive Edition' remaster all the way to a proper reboot for the IP. Back in 2016, Microsoft gave a nod to Age of Mythology fans with a new expansion 13 years after the game's initial release.
