      Arkantos. Kastor is the Character you play not his father. Krios is a character in the campaign. Zeus is not Kastor's father, Arkantos is.

    Who defeats Kronos?"Age of Mythology": Atlantis

      Gaea. Kastor plays a major role in the campaign, but does not actually defeat Kronos. Oranos is, in real mythology, dead, but in the game he is helping Kronos.

Only one pool needed to remain activated to finish the summoning, though all four had to be activated at the same time to start the process.

    What typically counters cavalry?"Age of Mythology: The Titans" Stats

      Infantry. Most infantry counters cavalry, but some counter other infantry, like the Axeman or the Hypaspist. However, the downside of all counter units is that they are vulnerable to other types of units.

    Condition: Which would you use if you wanted to have the effect happen when a specific unit was on the screen?"Age of Mythology Titans" Editor (PC)

      Visible to Player. Visible to Player activates the effect when the Player actually sees the unit. Units in LOS is when the unit is seen by any unit on the map.

    Effect: What trigger would you use if you wanted to give an Anubite 100 attack?"Age of Mythology Titans" Editor (PC)

      Modify Protounit. With Modify Protounit you can give a unit more health, more LOS, more attack, more armor or many other things. You can also decrease these stats.

    Editing: Which key on the keyboard would you press to make a unit bigger?"Age of Mythology Titans" Editor (PC)

      K. When the key, "k", is held down, the selected unit will grow as large as intended and so potentially there could be a villager who is the size of a titan. If you wanted to make a unit smaller, you would hold down "shift + k".

    Editing: What buttons would you push if you wanted to make the camera zoom in or out farther that normal?"Age of Mythology Titans" Editor (PC)

      Alt + Shift +C. This allows the camera to not only zoom in or out more than normal but also lets the camera pitch. After "Alt + Shift + C" is pressed, you can press "a" or "z" to pitch the camera. This is a great tool for cinematic or camera tracks if you want to make the camera zoom right in on a person's face.

    Unit: Is there a flying purple hippo?"Age of Mythology Titans" Editor (PC)

      Yes. This can be created in the editor only. It never shows up in Random Map or in the Campaigns unless you use a cheat. It is has great speed. It also attacks by spewing hearts on its enemies.

    Condition: This is a condition that requires the person playing the scenario to type a chat by pressing "Enter". What is this condition?"Age of Mythology Titans" Editor (PC)

      Chat Contains. "Chat Contains" can be used to make your own cheats. Simply make the condition "Chat Contains" and the blank be something like, "Dismember" or something no one will ever accidentally put in. Make the effect something like create an Arkantos Uber or give 1,000,000 resources or revile the map. Then when you type, "Dismember" or whatever it is, into the chat, your cheat will happen. If the trigger is set on "loop" it will keep happening unless an effect is "clear chat history".

    Effect: If I wanted to transform a Hydra in the middle of a scenario into a Medusa, which effect would I use?"Age of Mythology Titans" Editor (PC)

      Change Units in Area. This Effect can be used in many ways. This can be used to change a unit from a Frost Giant into a Fire Giant or many other things. One example of when "Change Units in Area" is used in the campaigns is to change the Automaton statues into Automatons.

    What are workers called when you're Egyptian?"Age of Mythology: The Titans" Expansion

      Laborors. Workers are one of the most important things in the game. They create buildings and gather wood, gold, and meat. Although if you're Greek, you can pray at a temple to earn favor.

    What type of God is Gaia?"Age of Mythology: The Titans" Expansion

      Atlantean. Gaia focuses on economy which really helps in the game for making your army and buildings. Plus, at the beginning of your battle, you get a Gaia forest power, creating a giant forest of trees for tons of wood.

    Who tries to stop you in Erebus?"Age of Mythology: The Titans" Expansion

      Hades. Hades tries to stop you in many ways once you reach the level of Erebus (Ex. Summons serpents from the ground.) What really helps in Erebus is that the ghosts help guide you through the fierce obstacles!

    What is Ra's Wonder?"Age of Mythology: The Titans" Expansion

      Pyramid. Wonders don't do anything, but they can sure block off enemies! With the defense points from 10,999-15,000, the opponent will never get near you. Although it does take time to create.
