Availability
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.
