VIDEO: Tutorial intro
Here we are! Welcome to Age Of Mythology! We're in the tutorial right now. I'm doing it because it has a bit of story attached to it.
Right now we only have control of one unit: our main character of the campaign, Arkantos.
NEW Lore entry: Arkantos
There's a bunch of things on the HUD that you might wonder what they're there for. I'll get to all of them in due time. For now, take note of the of the mini-map on the bottom right of the screen. (Anything blue will primarily belong to us, while red units are our foes.)
Here come some other units to help hunt the Cyclops. 2 infantry and one archer.
By dragging a box around every unit, we can move and attack with them simultaneously.
: What're all these things littered on the ground?
: Corpes. Lots of corpses.
: Oh...
We find the cyclops just loafing around here.
NEW Lore entry: Cyclops
So we slay it! The blue auras you see is Arkantos' special ability. It buffs the attack of surrounding units by quite a bit.

: Again the gods bless us!
Well, that was easy!
Next time: We learn about resources and buildings!
? Arkantos is actually not based off of a character from ancient greek myth, but instead a wholly new character.
? The story here is likely a reference to Odysseus' hunt of the the Cyclops Polyphemus.
