Strategies
Early Game
Atlantean citizens are expensive but efficient. Their ability to gather without drop-offs makes them excellent at forward bases. Generate early favor from your Town Center and scout with Oracles.
Mid Game
Transform key military units into heroes to counter enemy myth units. Hero Murmillos are extremely effective. Use Sky Passages (Oranos) or Timeshift (Kronos) for mobility advantages.
Late Game
The Atlanteans have access to the Titan Gate, allowing them to summon a powerful Titan unit. Combined with strong myth units like the Automaton or Behemoth, Atlanteans have a devastating late game.
The Titan
Atlanteans were the first civilization to access the Titan unit. The Titan is summoned through the Titan Gate wonder and is one of the most powerful units in the game:
- Massive health pool and attack damage
- Destroys buildings extremely quickly
- Can only be effectively countered by another Titan or massed heroes
- Requires significant resources and time to summon
