For the benefit of those just released from solitary confinement, Age of Mythology adds the legends and lore of bygone civilizations to its Age of Empires-style military campaign. The Greeks, Egyptians, and Norse seek to gain Favor (a new resource which replaces Stone) from their gods like Thor, Odin, Isis, Osiris, Zeus, Hades...so that they can build monstrous myth units like Cyclops, Hydras, Dragons, Mummies, and so on. Favor can also be used to enhance weapons and armor to make your armies more powerful. As you advance through the different ages, you'll also get god powers. Some are beneficial, and will provide rain for your crops. Others bring fiery death to your opponents.
