Age of Mythology: Retold – Conquer the game with unique challenge cards

Age of Mythology: Retold transports players back to a time of legend, where monsters roam free and gods battle for supremacy. In a unique event designed to push their tactics to the limit, four streamers took on everything the game has to offer, as well as a series of unique challenges.

In a unique event that went live on September 27, Lirik, Kkatamina, Welyn and AquaFPS each took to the battlefield, representing the game’s unique pantheons – the Greeks, Atlanteans, Norse and Egyptians. Check out our trailer for a sneak peek at what to look out for:

To guide their playthroughs, each streamer worked towards a series of specially crafted achievements, adding a further layer of difficulty for them to conquer. However, the fun didn’t stop there, as AquaFPS, Welyn and Lirik vied for supremacy in a 1v1v1v1 match with the addition of an AI opponent.

To see exactly what happened, who came out on top and which challenges they managed to complete, you can tune into the recorded streams on AquaFPS, Welyn, Lirik and Kkatamina’s Twitch channels.  

As a small preview of some of the challenges they tried to take on, we’ve picked five of the most exciting to look out for during the playthroughs.

Troy Story

Dexerto/World’s Edge

Titan Gate is one of the most exciting God powers in Age of Mythology: Retold, allowing players to summon a mighty Titan once the construction of the gate is complete. Taking a leaf out of the Greek playbook at Troy, we tasked players with constructing one of the monstrosities near an enemy town center for maximum destruction.

Divine Intervention

Dexerto/World’s Edge

One of Age of Mythology: Retold’s defining features is rechargeable god powers, allowing players to unleash chaos as many times as they can muster per match. These powers can be used repeatedly in this latest version of the game, which allowed us to present a simple yet difficult challenge for our streamers to complete—use four unique God powers in a single minute.

Death From Above

Dexerto/World’s Edge

Though many players may be tempted to simply build as many infantry units as possible to go for the win, Death From Above challenges them to play in a new way. The Death From Above achievement tasked the streamers with taking out an enemy town center using only the flying units that the game has to offer. Completion here required clever use of tactics and a little bit of luck that made life difficult for even the savviest of players.

This Might be a Myth-Stake

Dexerto/World’s Edge

Myth units serve as some of the most individually powerful units in the game. As players progress through, they unlock more and more of these unique troops to play with. This achievement rewards the first successful recruitment of a Myth unit, marking their first major step into the fantastical world that Age of Mythology: Retold offers.

It’s A Wonderful Life

Dexerto/World’s Edge

The Wonder Age is the fifth and final Age in Retold, showing us the players at the peak of their powers. Simply reaching this point is impressive enough when the other pantheons are actively seeking your destruction, so streamers who got to this point unlocked the achievement above.

That’s just a small window into the many achievements the four streamers took on throughout the day. Make sure to get involved with the challenges yourself and check out how your favorite content creators got on, all while enjoying the spectacular fun that Age of Mythology: Retold has to offer.
