Age of Mythology: Difference between revisions

* [[Big Badass Bird of Prey]]: The Rok is an aversion, as he simply act as a transport. There are also the Egyptian Phoenixes, which are on fire and the Atlantenean Stymphalian birds.

* [[The Big Guy]]: Ajax in the original campaign. He was even bigger in the original myths.

* [[Big No]]: Gargarensis does this pretty often. Some examples:

** When witnessing the rebirth of Osiris.

* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: Blue for the good guys, and red for the bad. This is a plot point in a scenario that takes place in Arkantos's dreams where {{spoiler|he unwittingly destroys Atlantis.}} His first clue that something is off is that he is dressed in red, the enemy colors.

* [[Construct Additional Pylons]]: Building a base is essential.

* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: In Erebus, the game's [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]], the environment does no damage. Unless you knock over a Boulder Rolling Pile.

* [[Crippling Overspecialization]]: Most units only have one ability, though some have a special ability.

* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]: The two ''Age of Empires'' have one and two-button interfaces... Mythology had only the two-button option.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Most people get their moments, especially Ajax.

* [[The Dragon]]: Kamos and Kemsyt. {{spoiler|The [[Living Statue|statue of Poseidon]] on the final mission.}}

** In the expansion campaign, {{spoiler|Krios}} is this to Kronos.

* [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]]: Erebus. Tartarus - the part where the Titans are imprisoned - is never shown, but presumably it's much the same. Interestingly, the Norse refer to it as Niflheim, which in actual myth was more like a Frost And Icicles Hell.

* [[Finish Him!]]: When Arkantos's army defeat "Gargarensis"'s in the Norselands, the heroes manage to capture "Gargarensis" (take note of the quotation marks; he's actually {{spoiler|Kemesyt, but transfigured into the form of Gargarensis via Loki's trickery magic}}. In the end, Ajax even resorts to asking Arkantos whether or not {{spoiler|to put him in a cage somewhere in Atlantis}}, rather than {{spoiler|cutting off his head}}. Arkantos refuses, saying {{spoiler|he has done too much against the Atlanteans, and orders to kill him}}. Ajax {{spoiler|chops off his head with a ''large axe'', with no remorse}}.

* [[Flavor Text]]

* [[Foreshadowing]]: During the opening cutscene, when the temple begins collapsing, it is {{spoiler|Poseidon's trident}} that breaks from his statue and almost crushes the protagonist.
