You choose your gods from the Greek, Norse, Egyptian, and Atlantean pantheons, and summon lightning storms, quakes, and even the Nidhogg dragon. You can also call upon protective Dryads to help your people grow and prosper.

Units include Centaurs, Trolls, Mummies, bejeweled crocodiles who harness the power of the sun, and even one-eyed Cyclops. There are multiple campaigns spanning 50-missions. You get to besiege the walls of Troy, battle Giants in Midgard, and discover Osiris in Egypt.
