Age of Mythology is rich with hidden details and fun references. While not directly impacting gameplay, discovering these easter eggs adds to the game's charm. Additionally, the Extended Edition on Steam features a robust achievement system that encourages diverse playstyles and challenges.
- Loki's Wolves: If playing as Loki, sometimes your summoned Fenris Wolves will have unique names like 'Geri' and 'Freki', referencing Odin's wolves in Norse mythology.
- 'Big Bertha' Cheat: While cheats disable achievements, the 'Big Bertha' cheat turns your Catapults into super-powerful siege weapons, a classic Age of Empires reference.
- Campaign References: Pay attention to dialogue and environmental details in the campaign; many missions contain subtle nods to real-world myths and historical events.
- Achievements: The Steam version has numerous achievements for completing the campaign on various difficulties, winning games with each mythology, building Wonders, and using specific God Powers. Challenge yourself to unlock them all!
Exploring the game's files or simply playing through the campaign multiple times can reveal these hidden gems. Don't be afraid to experiment with different settings and game modes to uncover everything Age of Mythology has to offer.
