About Age of Mythology

The campaign follows Arkantos, an Atlantean admiral embarking on a journey through the lands of the game's three cultures, hunting for a cyclops who is in league with Poseidon against Atlantis.

Iron_Shields
wait, you beat the campaign on your first try? what difficulty were you playing on?
SammieDragon
same here honestly, did the ending still hit you as hard on replay?
ArcadePhoenix2

vshields
the god power balance was never close to fair, honestly

Never the flashiest pick in these debates, but the campaign structure holds up better than people give it credit for...
CosmoHunter49
man, the Norse campaign missions still live in my head somehow... I couldn't tell you the year anymore but I remember staying up way too late finishing it

Deserves way more respect than it gets, honestly.

is a 73% win rate even meaningful with only 173 duels played? feels like a tiny sample compared to the bigger names it keeps getting matched against, and I wonder if the ranking algorithm just favors older cult classics with a small but loyal voting base
