Technology in Age of Mythology
Although the game can be won with very basic units, it is much harder. By researching the various upgrades available to each player, you can maximize things like your economy or to create very powerful troops. It is also possible to research various defenses in order to keep your buildings up longer to aid in keeping the enemy at bay long enough to mount a proper defense.

Note from Webmaster: To convert all the following data in to tables, charts, and a nice pretty layout would take decades. Therefore I don't plan to do it anytime soon. If anyone would be willing to do it for me I'd be grateful, but I really doubt anyone will want to. So for the time being it will stay how it is.

-Enjoy.
