Age of Mythology: Retold - Obsidian Mirror

About the add-on

From across the ocean comes a glorious new world pantheon. Obsidian Mirror introduces the Aztecs to Age of Mythology: Retold in a bold, long-requested expansion that reshapes how gods, mortals, and mythic power collide. Built for players eager to expand their experience and explore a mythology rarely seen in RTS games, this expansion delivers new gods, mechanics, monsters, and an epic campaign driven by divine rivalry. Aztec mythology introduces themes explored at mythic scale in the RTS, with an emphasis on sacrifice, illusion, and the flow of life and power. Take command under three new Major Gods, each offering a distinct playstyle. Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, rules as a wise priest-king, accelerating his people with the power of wind while strengthening culture and learning. Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror, embraces night, chaos, and sorcery, summoning underworld minions and bending reality through illusion. Huitzilopochtli, the god of sun and war, demands sacrifice and devotion, granting devastating power to those willing to give everything in his name. Expand your divine influence with nine new Minor Gods, each bringing unique god powers, myth units, and strategic depth inspired by Aztec legend. Command deities such as Itzpapalotl, the obsidian butterfly of death and magic. Call upon Tlaloc, master of rain and destruction. Unleash Xolotl, whose corrupt influence twists enemies into monstrous forms. Obsidian Mirror introduces Fear and Illusion gameplay, offering new ways to dominate the battlefield. Lay traps, manipulate enemy behavior, harvest life force, and construct towers from fallen foes. At the heart of Aztec power lies Tonalli, the essence of life released in battle. Every fallen warrior will fuel divine Favor and empower your gods and driving your civilization forward. Even your villagers can offer their life force when greater power is needed. The all-new 12-mission campaign tells an epic story of divine conflict and survival. When the eternal rivalry between Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca destroys the utopian city of Aztlan, Huitzilopochtli seizes the moment to lead his people south in search of a new empire. Meanwhile, Tezcatlipoca escapes through his Obsidian Mirror, crossing continents to recruit legendary allies and reclaim his dominance. Gods will clash, alliances will fracture, and the fate of the Aztec people will be decided by blood, belief, and power. Obsidian Mirror is a dramatic evolution of Age of Mythology: Retold. For fans who have waited years to see the Aztecs rise, and for strategy players drawn to bold mythic themes and inventive mechanics, this expansion delivers a fierce new vision of divine warfare.
