The Age of Mythology is just one game of many which have mods. Mods or modifications are just that. They are changes or additives which can be applied to the online games, usually by the first person players. The general public or a developer can have access to making these changes. For their own entertainment. These games can be altered to become entirely new and different games. The games can be modified to contain different weapons, enemies, characters, models, modes, textures, levels, story lines, music, and game modes. There can even be more things added to the games, and not just changes. The additions to a game are known as partial conversions. Mods that create a whole new game are called total conversions.
Gamers can make these changes because the games which run on the computer are very often designed to allow for changes or additions. Playing a mod may become more popular than playing the original game. Game mods have been used since as early as the 1980's. They have been used originally for the purpose of creating art. Mods can outshine or add to the success of the original game. When one is talking about an original game, they refer to it as the vanilla game.
Age of Mythology can have mods added to it easily because there were many mythology gods , creatures, and giants mentioned in the stories of the ancient Greek gods and also other myths of other countries. There have already been mods added to The Age of Mythology, which is a game with heroes such as Zeus, Hercules, etc. in them. In Greek mythology, there were Cyclopes, nymphs, dragons, serpents, creatures with the heads of one animal and the body of another, goddesses such as Aphrodite or Athena, and much more. There were monsters with many heads and arms. The ideas are endless when it comes to a game like this because there are so many gods and goddesses and each of them had stories written about them. If there is a story, there is the possibility of a game.
