{{Introduction
 +
|introduction      = '''''Age of Mythology: Extended Edition''''' is an updated version of the 2002 {{Glossary:Fantasy}} {{Glossary:RTS}} ''[[Age of Mythology]]'' and its ''The Titans'' expansion pack. It features redone effects, native high resolution and multi-monitor support, Steamworks {{Glossary:Multiplayer}} and enhanced observer modes.
  
'''Key points'''
+
|release history  = In January 2016, this version of the game received the '''''Tale of the Dragon''''' expansion which included the Chinese civilization and its belonging campaign, but was received poorly by the fans for its bugs and poor production quality. At the same time, the game was updated to version 2.0 to include several major balance changes and new units available even to players who did not buy the expansion pack.
{{++}} HD remake of the original [[Age of Mythology]] and its expansions, with Steam achievements and multiplayer, improved graphics and support for higher resolutions
+
 
 +
|current state    = The game received a large number of post-release patches, but after the latest one (2.8) from June 2020, a [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pkyZTMbTzFH9NH6ZiD9M1DlQqp7IuLbPrL5WlTL5QC8/edit#gid=781417783 large community spreadsheet of issues] is still valid, most of which did not exist in the original version of the game (such as poor pathfinding leading to units getting stuck in otherwise inaccessible areas, high GPU load, lobby joining issues and more). The game was stabilized in skirmish and multiplayer, but the ''Tale of the Dragon'' campaign remains in a notoriously flawed state, requiring a [[#Revised Tale of the Dragon campaign|Steam Workshop mod]] to make it more enjoyable.
 +
 
 +
The majority of the competitive community returned to the original version of the game, modified for balance. A proper re-release, ''[[Age of Mythology: Retold]]'', was announced in 2022 and revealed on February 23, 2024, but it is not known if any ''Extended Edition'' post-launch content (especially the ''Tale of the Dragon'' DLC and its Chinese civilization) will be transferred to that version of the game.

Age of Mythology: Extended Edition is an updated version of the 2002 fantasy RTS Age of Mythology and its The Titans expansion pack. It features redone effects, native high resolution and multi-monitor support, Steamworks multiplayer and enhanced observer modes.

In January 2016, this version of the game received the Tale of the Dragon expansion which included the Chinese civilization and its belonging campaign, but was received poorly by the fans for its bugs and poor production quality. At the same time, the game was updated to version 2.0 to include several major balance changes and new units available even to players who did not buy the expansion pack.

The game received a large number of post-release patches, but after the latest one (2.8) from June 2020, a large community spreadsheet of issues is still valid, most of which did not exist in the original version of the game (such as poor pathfinding leading to units getting stuck in otherwise inaccessible areas, high GPU load, lobby joining issues and more). The game was stabilized in skirmish and multiplayer, but the Tale of the Dragon campaign remains in a notoriously flawed state, requiring a Steam Workshop mod to make it more enjoyable.

The majority of the competitive community returned to the original version of the game, modified for balance. A proper re-release, Age of Mythology: Retold, was announced in 2022 and revealed on February 23, 2024, but it is not known if any Extended Edition post-launch content (especially the Tale of the Dragon DLC and its Chinese civilization) will be transferred to that version of the game.
