Details: Amazon.com Product Description Age of Mythology comes with a very fun initiation, an intuitive interface and logical game principles that make it accessible to everyone, quickly and easily. Right from the start, there are many options available to players: a single-player campaign with 36 scenarios, a very easy-to-use online game mode, a single-player game mode against a powerful AI, more than 15 types of random maps for a infinite number of games, 9 very distinct civilizations, several difficulty levels for players of all levels and, of course, an exhaustive scenario editor. Age of Mythology has something to offer all types of gamers: enjoyable gameplay, regardless of style or level of play. Epic Single-player Campaign Age of Mythology features a 36-story single-player campaign created by the team that received the 2000 Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences Award for Story and Character. This campaign plunges the player into the heart of a mythological legend with many sources of inspiration. He will have to guide his troops from the siege of Troy to the pyramids of Egypt, passing through the snow-capped mountains of the northern expanses, to the mythical underworld. Many cutscenes intersect the campaign scenarios, using real-life units (and their surroundings) to tell the story. Captivating WorldAge of Mythology's revolutionary 3D engine renders breathtakingly beautiful environments, with terrains teeming with life, realistic waves on bodies of water, sunbeams and forests verdant. The units present are incredibly detailed, move naturally on the ground and benefit from hundreds of very fluid animations. Frightening special effects take care of altering these idyllic settings when the gods mingle with the game: the landscape darkens during the eclipse, the burning meteors arise from the skies to fall on the armies, throwing the troops to the ground targets and dark clouds gather as a devastating hurricane bends human constructions. From the Manufacturer - Age of Mythology retains the elements that contributed to the success of the Age of Empires series. Wonders, civilization bonuses, technology trees, collecting resources, building empires and battling huge armies are at the heart of the game. But there is no shortage of innovations for a gaming experience renewed: - Divine Powers: These exceptional and rare gifts allow the player to use divine abilities several times in each game. - Mythological units: with specific skills, these very rare units are added to the players' armies to increase their power. - Different ages: Players can now choose the path of their evolution, each era comes with different bonuses. - Very distinct civilizations: Age of Mythology develops the concept of differentiation of civilizations, already present in Age of Kings, to promote game techniques that are very distant from each other.
