Age of Mythology/Units

The following is a comprehensive listing of units in Age of Mythology and The Titans, its expansion pack. The Age of Mythology (commonly abbreviated to simply AOM) series are a series of popular real-time strategy computer games, originally released by Ensemble Studios in 2002. The game was a huge success, selling over 1,000,000 copies, and earning its platinum title. Its high-selling expansion pack, The Titans was released in 2003. The original Age of Mythology was released addendum to the long-lived Age of Empires series and franchise, but, after its great success, The Titans was created and Age of Mythology and The Titans formed part of a series in their own right.

The Age of Mythology series differs significantly from the similarly structured Age of Empires series, most significantly in that it focuses more on the mythological canon of the civilizations that are playable in the game rather than historical accuracy, as was a key trend in Age of Empires.

The original Age of Mythology included three playable civilizations; the Greek, Egyptian and Norse, each of whom varied in the units they could create and the buildings they could construct, among other differences. With The Titans expansion came a fourth civilization, the Atlantean civilization, based off the legend of Atlantis, with many new units, buildings, as well as titans, colossal, very powerful units that varied depending on the civilization and cost a great deal of resources to train.
