![]() The world has been saved but Atlantis was destroyed, its people weakened and their hero Arkantos vanished. Then there is a new campaign set 10 years after the climax of the main game. A Titan is far more powerful than a group of top tier mythical units and can crush an army of enemy units with ease. These are really resource and time costly but also devastating. Atlanteans are powerful but units are expensive and upgrades need more resources. Also they do not need to build gathering buildings as workers are those too and they get favor (faith) by having town centers (The more the faster). ![]() ![]() Atlanteans have no hero units but can promote regular units to heroes making those better. As by the main game standards those have unique units and features compared to other factions.
