Following both good reviews and sales, Age of Mythology: The Titans expansion pack was released in 2003. Although it is a continuation of the Age of Empires series, Age of Mythology has less of a focus on historical accuracy, and instead centers around the myths and legends of the Ancient Greeks, the Ancient Egyptians, and the Norse.

Age of Mythology is different from other Ensemble Studios games because it takes place in a Pantheistic solipsistic universe. 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.

It was followed by an expansion pack: Age of Mythology: The Titans

Gameplay

Civilizations

There are 3 playable civilizations in the game, which strongly differ from each other; also, each of them has a different way of gaining heroes and favor:

Campaign

Unlike the campaign mode in Age of Empires II, which has five unrelated campaigns with six missions each, the Age of Mythology campaign mode offers one long campaign and one main story. The campaign story, titled Fall of the Trident, begins with the game's opening video. It shows a forty-one year old Atlantean admiral, hero, and commander of the Atlantean military, Arkantos, as he explores an abandoned temple. Within the temple, he has brief glimpses of the goddess Athena, that lead him to many engravings of warriors and several Olympian gods. As Arkantos touches each of the statues, he has strange visions of a fierce war between Kronos, the evil Titan Lord and its army of mythological creatures, and human warriors, aided by Zeus. On his final vision, Arkantos sees how Kronos is sealed behind the huge gates of Tartarus, as the temple he is in begins to crumble. Athena makes a sign to Arkantos to escape, and he barely manages to, as a huge trident from Poseidon's statue nearly falls upon him.

The game follows the adventures of Arkantos, and his encounters with the gods and creatures of myth. Arkantos travels throughout all of the mythical world, fighting to keep the enraged Kronos from emerging into the human world and wrecking havoc.

In the Titans Expansion Pack it shows Kastor (Arkantos' son) trying to rebuild a confused Atlantis. He is tricked by Krios to rebuild the Titan's temples. This brings the Titans enough power to escape and reek havoc on Atlantis, Greece, Egypt, and the Norselands. In the end Gaia kills Kronos and seals him in Tartarus.
