Hero's Welcome is the third scenario of the Egyptian campaign in Age of Empires: Mythologies. It is played on a 10x18 sized map.

Intro[]

Thutmose's journey to Memphis is interrupted when he meets up with Hatshepsut and her retinue.

Intro[]

The road from Memphis

Scout: Highness, our patrols have found nothing but desert flies. Are you sure we are in the correct location?

Hatshepsut: Not at all, friend. But this village is ripe for the picking, and I suspect our enemies will think so as well. With so many of our soldiers at the borders, we have to hope...

Thutmose: I came as soon as I heard. Is it single band of invaders, or something cursed by the gods?

Hatshepsut: We're not sure. The villagers are too simple and panicked to give us much information. The Obelisks will show us the truth of what lies beyond the mountains.

Thutmose: On our way here, we were ambushed by Anubites. Ready your men for an assault.

Oracle: There are six Terrain Types on the battlefield. Plains and Deserts are similar, and are the most basic terrain you will fight upon. Hills provide additional defense and range to your Units, and are great for defensive positions. Forests hide your Units, and provide a substantial defensive boost. Use them to surprise your foes. Roads leave you vulnerable, but allow you to Move quickly from one area to another. Rivers, Oceans and Mountains are all impassable except by flying Units.

Mysterious Figure: Attack, my hordes! We will devour their bones!
