Spotlight[]
| โ | Ajax, Brokk, and Eitri are returning characters from the Fall of the Trident, The Golden Gift, and Pillars of the Gods campaigns featured in Age of Mythology: Retold. Ajax is a powerful Greek hero and a veteran of the Trojan War. He can bash enemies with his shield, sending them flyingโeven myth units! Brokk and Eitri are dwarven brothers from the Norselands. Although they can only gather resources, their passive abilities to increase the attack and armor of nearby units are even more valuable. These heroes were last seen in China, fighting a world-ending threat. |

Once again, Ajax, Brokk, and Eitri will join in at the start. Use the heroes to do most of the fighting to avoid losses, especially when fighting myth units. At certain points, the player will need to sneak past enemy patrols, but they move in predictable patterns, so it shouldn't be hard to avoid them. Don't fight the large camps of enemies, as there's no benefit to doing so. As long as the player keeps rescuing additional troops, the later fights should be easy, even after Ajax, Brokk, and Eitri leave the party.
Since the player has no means of gathering and storing resources, their god powers should be used wisely.
