Warnings
- SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows Vista and later (see Availability for affected versions).
- The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.
General information
- Official Discord server for the series
- Microsoft's Official game page (archived)
- Age of Mythology Heaven - A huge fan site for Age of Mythology
- Age of Mythology on TheGameEngine.org - solving some technical issues.
Availability
- SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows Vista and later (see above for affected versions).
Version differences
- The "Age of Mythology Gold Edition", first released in 2004; can often be found on store shelves. It is the most cost effective way of acquiring the game, as it contains the following on a single DVD-ROM:
- Age of Mythology
- Age of Mythology: The Titans
- No-CD patches are already applied; the DVD is only necessary for installation - ensuring compatibility with modern OSes; and all games are already fully patched.
- Note that a patch is needed to fix some issues here.
