| —Hathor upon casting Meteor Shower | ||
Meteor Shower is an Egyptian god power in Age of Empires: Mythologies available to worshipers of Hathor. It causes meteors to rain on the battlefield, damaging all enemy units and buildings.
Strategy[]
Meteor Shower can be cast anywhere on the map, causing flaming meteorites to rain down from the sky. Once the shower ends, all enemy units and buildings on the map receive considerable damage. Players can then immediately follow up with an attack to finish off the weakened enemy units. Any enemy unit that was being trained will instantly die, enabling the player to attack unit production buildings immediately. Attacking immediately after the storm is critical as the enemy may make full use of their Priests and heal as many units as possible.
If Meteor Shower is used as early as Age II when units have only 75% of their usual HP, the number of units likely to die from the meteors alone is increased, giving the player an early game advantage. It can however be saved for later when the enemy has more units that can suffer from the shower, leaving the enemy with a large army of weak soldiers that cannot be replaced until more population space is available.
