This article is about the god power in Age of Mythology. For other uses, see Citadel.

Citadel is an Egyptian Heroic Age god power in Age of Mythology that is available to worshipers of Sekhmet. When invoked, it transforms a Town Center of the player's choice into a Citadel Center, with increased attributes as follows:

Strategy[]

Citadel can be used to bolster the defenses of a Town Center in a strategically important area. Alternatively, it can be used to help defend a forward base near the enemy, as the Citadel Center is quite durable and even stronger than a Migdol Stronghold. This makes it ideal in supporting an offensive near an enemy town. Citadel can also be used as part of a turtling strategy.

The improved Citadel Center also allows for extra population space. This can prove a crucial advantage, either economically in the form of extra villagers, or militarily in the form of extra soldiers or myth units. However, the Citadel Center is not invincible, and should be protected from attacks by enemy siege weapons.

Trivia[]

  • The Citadel god power is not restricted to use on Egyptian Town Centers, as player can use it on allied Town Centers. However, they will still have the style of an Egyptian Town Center, though their God Statue will still depend on their civilization and god.
