Age of Mythology: Retold - Atlantean Pantheon Guide

As a seasoned strategist who has witnessed countless battles in the realm of myth, I must say that these new additions to our divine arsenal are truly a sight to behold! The Argus, with its acid-spewing might, is a formidable force against human soldiers – a fact I can attest to from personal experience.

In the game “Age of Mythology: Retold“, there are numerous Pantheons to delve into, and it’s crucial to grasp the unique workings of each one. This knowledge is essential not only for playing as a specific civilization but also for being ready to face them in battle. For instance, when you opt for the Atlanteans, you should consider several aspects: which Major God you prefer to venerate, which Minor Gods you select as your civilization advances through the ages, and the peculiarities of the Titan-led army.

Here’s a more casual and engaging way to present the information:

How to Play as the Atlanteans in Age of Mythology

Age of Mythology: Retold - Atlantean Pantheon Guide

In the Atlantean game, when you begin, you have three primary deities to pick from: Kronos, Oranos, and Gaia. Additional deities like Prometheus, Leto, and Oceanus (Classical Age), Hyperion, Rheia, and Theia (Heroic Age), and Helios, Atlas, and Hekate (Mythic Age) are also present as minor gods. As you progress through the ages, you can even call upon a Titan in the Wonder Age. Gaining favor will be crucial for your success, as the deity you choose to worship will grant you unique bonuses and mythical units to strengthen your army. All Atlantean Gods share three main characteristics:

Atlantean Villager Units

In the game Age of Mythology, the units referred to as “citizens” (Atlantean villagers) are costly and require more time to train, yet they gather resources at a faster pace. This speedy gathering efficiency means that resources can be used up quicker. As a result, you might discover that you need to auto-queue citizens less often with this faction, but it’s still useful information to keep in mind.

Atlantean Hero units

Among Atlanteans’ unique advantages, they don’t require specific heroes to train, but rather, they have the ability to elevate any human infantry, cavalry, or ranged unit into a heroic rank. The number of units that can be transformed into heroes is unlimited, though each promotion comes at a significant cost. However, these heroic units exhibit increased resilience and effectiveness when facing mythical creatures.

Atlantean Oracle Units

Interacting with a Major God from Atlantis boosts your standing by nurturing Oracles. As these Oracles remain stationary, their observable area expands and they gain more esteem the longer they stay put. However, if the worship areas of two or more gods overlap too much, only one will receive favor. To avoid this issue, try to position them as far apart as possible, keeping them safe from potential dangers.

Atlantean Minor Gods

In each age, you have the option to choose from three main Deities, but each time you make a selection, they will offer you a pick between two lesser Deities.

Age	Kronos	Oranos	Gaia
Archaic	N/A	N/A	N/A
Classical	Prometheus Leto	Prometheus Oceanus	Oceanus Leto
Heroic	Hyperion Rheia	Hyperion Theia	Rheia Theia
Mythic	Helios Atlas	Helios Hekate	Hekate Atlas

Atlantean Unique Units

Yet, regardless of your chosen deity from the Atlantean Pantheon, there are numerous units to train or buildings to construct. Importantly, the units you’ll access with each god are not typically available for any other Pantheon but will serve similar purposes.
