Age of Mythology: The Titans for PC adds a fourth mythology, the Atlanteans,
to the existing Greek, Egyptian and Norse mythologies. A new single-player
campaign will add yet another chapter to the franchise's expansive folklore with
the addition of new scenarios and in-game cinematics. Atlantean players will be
able to call upon the might of the Titan gods multiple times throughout the
game, and may also upgrade human units to heroes. The expansion pack will
introduce 12 new god powers, 18 new human units and 10 formidable myth units to
the game. Age of Mythology: The Titans may also be played with others online
using the in-game matchmaking service, ES Online (www.eso.com).
Age of Mythology: The Titans is an expansion pack for Age of Mythology. Using
familiar elements of classical mythology, Age of Mythology casts players as one
of nine unique civilizations from ancient Greek, Norse and Egyptian mythologies.
Players can reinforce their armies with mythological creatures like Cyclopes and
Medusas or call upon the mighty powers of gods such as Zeus to rain down
lightning bolts on unsuspecting enemies. Age of Mythology also incorporates
Ensemble Studios' trademark features from previous Age of Empires games,
including a compelling economic model, a massive army and battle system,
unequaled artificial intelligence, random maps, intuitive gameplay and extreme
attention to detail. Age of Mythology: The Titans will be available this fall
for an estimated retail price of $34.95 U.S.
