God

Gods are important entities in Age of Mythology. There are a total of 15 major gods (three for every civilization) and 45 minor gods (three per civilization for every Age bar the Archaic Age).

Major gods
Every civilization offers three different major gods of which every player must pick one to worship at the game start. It is an important decision as it cannot be undone and the major gods have huge impact on the playing style as they offer different bonuses, god powers, myth technologies, and minor gods.

Minor gods
Upon every Age advance, one minor god must be chosen to worship in addition to the major god. Every civilization offers three different minor gods per Age, but the pool of gods to choose from is limited to two dependent on the major god that the player worships. Minor gods offer different god powers, myth technologies, and myth units.
