Age Of Mythology: Titans
Age of Mythology: The Titans is a real-time strategy computer game expansion pack of Age of Mythology. It was developed by Ensemble Studios and released in September 2003.
The expansion adds a fourth civilization to the game, the Atlanteans, and 3 new major gods, plus many new units, buildings and god-powers. It also included many new features, such as auto-queueing (allows training of units indefinitely as long as there are sufficient resources), and the ability to summon a Titan, a powerful, gargantuan, godlike being that forms the game's focal point.
The campaign is only a third of the length of the one in the original Age of Mythology, and this time focuses mostly on the Atlantean civilization and its leader, Arkantos' son, Kastor. Arkantos, who is now a god, also makes a few minor appearances here. The story is set ten years after the events of the Age of Mythology storyline.
Age of Mythology: The Titans adds a fourth mythology, the Atlanteans, to the existing Greek, Egyptian and Norse mythologies in Age of Mythology. A new single-player campaign will add yet another chapter to the expansive panoply of ancient folklore along with the addition of new scenarios. Atlantean players will be able to call upon the might of the Titan gods (such as Atlas and Cronus) multiple times throughout the game, and may also upgrade human units to heroes. The expansion pack will introduce 12 new god powers, 15 new human units and 12 formidable myth units to the game.
Atlantean mythology. Take advantage of unique cultural attributes, god powers, myth units and much more to dominate your opponents. Use your Titan god powers multiple times to demolish the opposition, promote selected units within the culture to hero status, and reap the benefits of a culture with new features, such as the ability to control time and space. Explore new maps and expand the "playground of the gods."
An extended story line. The Titans adds new scenarios to explore and conquer. In-game cinematics help to integrate and further enrich the game’s story.
A new victory condition. Create a Titan unit that dwarfs everyone else; wreak havoc and rain destruction on enemy civilizations.
Additional powers, heroes and mythological units.The Titans brings the ancient world to life in more detail than ever before with exciting gameplay elements and characters. The expansion pack will unveil the incredible powers of the Titan gods, which can be unleashed by the Atlanteans who worship them. In addition, new myth units and human units allow gamers to build their civilization and go into battle in a nearly infinite number of ways.

Atlanteans
The newly added civilization of Atlantis is much different from the others, because of the focus on mythological and magical powers, including:
*
o Lack of specific hero units.
o Ability to have an arbitrary number of heroes by converting any human unit to a hero (depending on the resources available).
o Citizens not needing special drop-off points for resources.
o Ability to build Oracles, which are scout units and effective only while standing still (their field of view slowly grows as they idle)
o Ability to build town centers at the early ages of the game
o Kronos has the ability to time-shift buildings, i.e. move buildings from one place to another
o Oranos has the ability to build sky passages, which let instant transportation of people to various places of the map.
o Gaia's magical powers grow lush from buildings, preventing enemies from building anything on the lush. The growing lush also slowly heals Gaia's buildings.
o Ability to use certain (inferior) god powers several times during a game.
Atlantean citizens are much more effective in work than their Greek, Norse or Egyptian counterparts and do not require drop-off points for resources, but cost 3 population units each. They are also much slower to train. Atlanteans gain favor through town centers. The more town centers they control, the faster the rate of favor gain.
New random map types: Marsh, Highland, Tundra, Islands, Megalopolis, Land Unknown
New AI personalities for random map games: Standard, Random, Attacker, Conqueror, Builder, Protector, Defender
New upgrades for existing civilizations (Greek, Egyptian, and Norse):
o Beast Slayer: Greek gods' unique units (Myrmidon, Hetairoi, and Gastraphetes) do bonus damage against Myth units.
o Hand of the Pharaoh: Egyptian priests can pick up Relics like the Pharaoh, Range of attack is also increased by two.
o Axe of Muspell: Norse Throwing Axemen does bonus damage against flying units.
o Heroic Fleet: All civilizations' ships do bonus damage against myth units.
