Age of Mythology is the next generation in real-time strategy game development from Ensemble Studios, the creators of Age of Empires and Age of Empires II. It features the full 3D engine technology of Ensemble Studios' BANG! Engine. Strategy games will now lead the technology curve, not lag behind. Age of Mythology is stunning in 3D, maintaining the Ensemble Studios' signature of creating vivid realistic worlds. Age of Mythology is set in a mythological past when heroes battled monsters of legend and gods intervened in the affairs of mortal men. Age of Mythology, a branch of the Age of Empires franchise that has sold over 8.5 million licensed units worldwide, features a new proprietary 3D engine enabling stunning visual effects, animated water, mythological characters and hundreds of on-screen units. Using familiar elements of classical mythology, Age of Mythology casts players as ancient Greeks, the Norse and Egyptians. "Our game puts players in those ancient civilizations where praying for luck in battle, fighting Cyclopes or petitioning Zeus to call down lightning bolts on the enemy are real occurrences," said Bruce Shelley, co-founder and senior game designer for Ensemble Studios. Age of Mythology incorporates Ensemble Studios' trademark features from previous Age of Empires games, including a compelling economic model, a massive army and battle system, unequaled computer artificial intelligence, random maps, intuitive gameplay and extreme attention to detail. |
