  Age of Mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Age of Mythology (also known as AoM or Age of Myths) is a mythology-based real-time strategy computer game by Ensemble Studios.
Although it is a continuation of the Age of Empires series, Age of Mythology has less of a focus on historical accuracy.
Unlike previous Age of Empires games, which followed the historical progress of various nations or cultures, "Age of Mythology" follows the exploits of a band of heroes in an adventure that takes them through all three civilizations.

Age of Mythology is a return to the roots of the series.
While the material benefits of advancing through the ages are not nearly as dramatic as that of previous titles in the series - where expert players prided themselves on "Bronzing," or achieving the Bronze Age, in a certain number of minutes - the spiritual benefit is immense.
Each advance in age will allow players to choose another deity to add to their pantheons, choosing between the two that are assigned to a particular major god or goddess for a given era.

There are a total of four resources in Age of Mythology, as there have been with past age games (food, wood, gold, and stone), however, in Age of Mythology, stone has been replaced with a new resource called favor.

AoM also introduces heroes, who are super-charged characters who also tend to be immortal and will come back to life after they are killed.
AoM is sort of like a movie; during my siege of Troy (as part of the campaign), the music would swell dramatically while I was being attacked.
AoM takes what makes both the Age of Empires series and the Warcraft series great, and blends it all together into a tasty frappe, and the end result is simply divine.

 Age of Mythology - ESCMag Review
Building on the original Age of Empires and the subsequent Age of Kings, Age of Mythology takes players into the real-time strategy world of the Greeks, Egyptians and Norse, affording them not only the opportunity for those cultures to clash, but also their heroic and mythological figures as well.
And yet despite the all-too-familiar trappings, Age of Mythology still manages to be an interesting, addictive and compelling title, mostly for the way it streamlines its own conventions for the sake of fun gameplay.
Age of Mythology does offer a quick flag at the top of the screen that allows players to scroll through their heroes, but often it's not nearly quick enough to save heroes from an all-too-ignominious demise on the battlefield.

 IGUK Blog: Age of Mythology Review
Age of Mythology comes in a sturdy and beautifully illustrated box, which contains some excellent components and gorgeous boards.
Age of Mythology definitely plays like a board game, but both its territorial expansion and combat do make it feel like less of an RTS than something turn based.
As the majority of Age of Mythology: The Board Game's mechanics are so well implemented and balanced - with extra thematic flavouring compensating even further - it is hard to complain about them except to mention the fact that the RTS feel is somewhat lost in translation.

Age of Mythology doesn't make any huge departures from the conventions of real-time strategy gaming, but rather represents arguably the most refined example of the genre to date.

And building on the highly successful Age of Empires and Age of Kings titles, it's no small wonder then that the task was appointed to the talented folks at Ensemble Studios, once the final decision to develop the game was made by Microsoft.

Age of Mythology is certainly not the case.
Every time you advance an age, you are asked to select a deity to add to your kingdom's pantheon, and again, there are three deities per pantheon.
Every god grants a spell when selected in an age, and some of them can be truly devastating, like the Meteor, with rains massive destruction in an area, damaging everything and anything, regardless of alignment.
