History Characters / AgeOfMythologyAtlanteanCivilization

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Compared to the original game, which portrays Atlantis as near-identical to the Greeks, the Atlanteans in the expansion have their own distinct aesthetics and AncientGrome-esque culture.

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Unlike other cultures, the Atlanteans don't have a specific hero unit. Instead, they can pay extra resources and an additional population slot to turn a human unit into a hero unit. Atlantean players can even turn their Citizen into a hero unit for extra gathering rate.

* SkillGateCharacter: Her economy bonuses and Turtle features allow a newcomer to get used to the Atlanteans quickly, however, she's still outmatched by almost every other God/civ available in the game.

* HeroUnit: Unlike other cultures, the Atlanteans don't have a specific hero unit. Instead, they can pay extra resources and an additional population slot to turn a human unit into a hero unit. Atlantean players can even turn their Citizen into a hero unit for extra gathering rate.

* ProngsofPoseidon: The destroyer wields a trident in one hand, and a shield in the other.

* GaiasVengeance: Downplayed, as her powers are more about bolstering your economy, but the mission where you use her power to help weaken Prometheus stands out.

* ItCanThink: According to their lore, Automata not only were found to be sentient, but at one point in Atlantean history had even stood up to their masters a bid to be seen as equals.

* GatheringSteam: Befitting their highly advanced reputation, the Atlanteans can become an economic and military powerhouse by the late-game. This also means, however, that they're much more vulnerable early on, before their techs, god powers, and bonuses could really stack.

* SilverVixen: One of the oldest deities in the game and an actual grandma to Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, and Hera. Being an ageless goddess, she appears as an attractive and well-endowed young woman.

* ItCanThink: According to their lore, Automatons not only were found to be sentient, but at one point in Atlantean history had even stood up to their masters a bid to be seen as equals.
* MechaMooks: The Automaton. Unlike Colossi or Battle Boars, you're encouraged to make many of them.
* ZergRush: Automatons are cheap for Myth units, and individually they're not particularly powerful. But since they can rebuild one another, large armies of them can be really hard to put down.

* HatePlague: Lampades' ability is similar to Chaos.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Hekagigantes (properly named Hekatonkheiries) are noted in the in-game encyclopedia to have one hundred hands ([[MeaningfulName their name literally means "Hundred Handed Ones"]]) and fifty heads. Since this would be virtually impossible to model except with a titan-sized unit, the ones in game have a single head and four arms.

* WorkerUnit: The basic worker of the Atlantean civilization. Unlike other worker units, Citizens automatically gather resources without a stockpile to drop the resources off. However, the Citizens cost more resources than other workers and there is a severe limit (25 with 10 Hero Citizen not counted vs. 80 other civilization workers) to a number of Citizens that can be trained.

* AsteroidsMonster: The Promethean.

* BadassBystander: Citizens can become a hero unit, like other military units.
* {{Cap}}: There can only be 35 Citizens, including 10 Hero Citizens, at a time.
* RegeneratingHealth: "Heroic Renewal"-empowered Citizens gain a regeneration factor.

* OriginalGeneration: The Atlantean units are mostly original creations by Ensemble Studios with mixed historical inspirations. However, its gods and myth units are based on the Titans of Myth/ClassicalMythology and other monsters not used by the [[Characters/AgeOfMythologyGreekCivilization Greek civilization]], respectively.

* EliteMook: According to its history, Atlantean used to have a powerful cavalry until agriculture overtook grazing, which reduces the number of horses until only the elite soldiers ride on horses.
* JoustingLance: The Contarius got their name because they wield the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kontos_%28weapon%29 kontos]], a type of lance. Worshipping Theia allows Contarius to wield Lance of Stone, which increases Hero Contarius's attack and grant them bonus damage against buildings. Its history states that it is a lance of petrified wood from Atlantis's western colonies and a symbol of honor for the Contarius. When it shatters, the wielder's name is carved into the shaft and its pieces are commemorated around the Palace of the Theocrat.

* HeroUnit: Unlike other cultures, the Atlanteans does not have a specific hero unit. Instead, the Atlantean can pay extra resources and an additional population slot to turn a human unit into a hero unit. Atlantean players can even turn their Citizen into a hero unit for extra gathering rate.

* AncientGrome: The Atlanteans are presented as a mish-mash of Greek, Roman, Basque, Byzantine and Mesoamerican influences. They worship Greek gods, their infantry units are based on ancient classes of gladiators, their buildings have pointed roofs and stone construction, their clothes are traditional Basque ones, and their navy consists of Byzantine fire ships.

* MagmaMan: Takes this appearance when seen in person.

* SameCharacterButDifferent: Like Prometheus below, there's a notable difference between Gaia's portrait (pictured above) and her in-game model: she has brown hair and is wearing a white robe in the former, while the later she has PlantHair and wears a bikini made of leaves.

* SameCharacterButDifferent: Strangely, he looks different in both his portrait (depicting him as a bearded man) and in-game, where looks just like a mix between Kronos and a Promethean. Probably due to his overstay in Tartarus.

* MechaMooks: The Automaton. Unlike Colossi or Battle Boars, you're encouraged to make many of them.
* ZergRush: Automatons are cheap for Myth units, and individually they're not particularly powerful. But since they can rebuild one another, large armies of them can be really hard to put down.

* FaunsAndSatyrs: His myth units. They are ranged myth units that can throw many javelins.

* HealingFactor: Grants heroes health regeneration.
* JavelinThrower: Satyrs wield and throw multiple spears at once.
* ThreateningShark: The Nereids ride sharks, allowing them to butcher most naval myth units with ease.

* FeatherFlechettes: How the Stymphalian Birds attack.

* PlantPerson: The Dryads.

* MightyGlacier: Behemoths are slow but durable and can even regenerate themselves.
