This is a single player scenario which should take over 2 hours to play through. There is a particular emphasis on atmosphere and exploration with a lot of exposition only implied through the environment.
It includes a number of small mods to the game which are necessary to play but which make playing other scenarios or online impossible - remember to uninstall them before doing so.
This has been optimized for Age of Mythology: The Titans: Extended Edition available through Steam. Though everything should work fine in ordinary AOM:TT, I know some units display differently. For example, snow drifts are invisible in the extended edition, and I know there are a number placed around the map which now can't be found so they might be incongruously placed.
Jotunheim has unleashed jotnar across the world where they terrorise the humans and dwarves, destroying cities and killing thousands. On a cold and wintry archipelago five once-warlike nations now cower behind city walls. Those who brave the wilderness to tend to farms or mines don't return to their homes - they are taken, eaten, killed.
The people pray to their gods. Sprigs of Yggdrasil are found on the archipelago and human sacrifices hang from every bough, but until now no one answered.
Odin, the All-Father, the Hanged-One, finally listens. He sends one of his valkyries, Reginleif, down to the islands to challenge and defeat the jotnar, so the surviving peoples may return to normal life: mining, building, growing and living - and most importantly of all, warring: all nations in perpetual conflict. For Odin favours none so strongly as the warriors who do battle.
With a single button on the UI, to the right of the resources and left of the unit portrait, Reginleif can instantly switch between three combat forms.
Click the spearhead button to use powerful spear strikes which do hack damage.
Click the horsehead button to mount your horse and do hack damage. However, the damage isn't a strong as when in the melee form.
Click the three-arrowhead button to use thrown javelins which do pierce damage. Reginleif has a cooldown special attack where she throws three javelins.
