Many unit types in Age of Mythology: Retold.
This is a list of all the units in Age of Mythology, including economic and military human units, heroes, myth units, siege weapons, ships, and any other miscellaneous units.
All units have some or all of attributes such as hit points, attack, vulnerability reduction, Line of Sight, range, speed, Rate of Fire, attack multipliers, unit type, weight class (since Retold), and abilities. Unlike buildings, units occupy population headroom.
The list is divided according to where each unit is trained. Most units are trained at a building.
Units that are neither trained at a building nor appear at one are given under 'Elsewhere'. When a unit is unique to a specific god, the god's name is given.
