—In-game description in Retold
The Lost Ship is an Egyptianmyth unit* and ship in Age of Mythology, and the aquatic counterpart to the Minion. They can only be created when the Ancestorsgod power is invoked on water. They rise from the abyss to fight for the player's cause for 1 minute, after which they sink back into the water.
Before Retold, they were classified as archer ships. As such, they benefited from technologies which affected them. Unlike Minions, they did not benefit from the effects of the Eclipse god Power. Despite looking like ruined Kebenits, not only did they not have an attack bonus vs. Fishing Ships, they could not even attack Fishing Ships, nor buildings.
In Retold, they are myth units and no longer archer ships. They still continue to benefit from Armory upgrades, however. They do not gain extra attributes in the Mythic Age, unlike other Heroic Age myth units, although they do get Wonder Age bonuses for myth units.
