Strategy
Prometheus is a minor god who helps the player to create more heroes, and is therefore a good choice of minor god for players whose enemies are focusing on myth units. His Heart of the Titans technology reduces the amount of food, wood and gold needed to transform units into heroes by 20%. Furthermore, his God Power, Valor, turns a small number of human units into Heroes instantly. Creating heroes is expensive, and these two benefits greatly reduce the amount of resources needed. Prometheus' Myth Unit is the Promethean,a man made of clay that is cheap, has a fair crush attack and divides in two when killed.

Campaign
In the New Atlantis Campaign, Prometheus is a secondary antagonist. He escapes Tartarus after Kastor inadvertently weakens the Olympians. Prometheus proceeds to wreak havoc across the Greek countryside and would have killed Kastor as well if Ajax and Amanra hadn't intervened. Kastor returns after defeating several lesser Titans and weakens Prometheus by restoring the wildlife in the area, which weakens Prometheus allowing him to be defeated.

Prometheus is the strongest unit in the single-player campaign and in the whole game apart from Osiris. He has a 50,000 hitpoints and regenerates nearly instantly, making it impossible to severely damage him. However, he can be weakened by rebuilding the settlements which causes Gaia's lush to spread out. This lowers his hitpoints and removes his regeneration ability allowing him to be killed.

Mythology
He was requested by Zeus to make man. He is famous in Greek Mythology for giving the gift of fire to the mortals against the wishes of Zeus. He was punished by being tied to a rock in the Caucasus Mountains, and every day, an eagle would eat his liver, only to regenerate the next day. He was eventually freed by Hercules, yet had to wear a ring with a piece of the Caucasus Mountains, so Zeus still would be able to praise himself for enchaining Prometheus.
