Soon after the Magisterians fled, the Zhongtien came as well. After pressure from the ALAN (American League of Allied Nations), the Chinese government surrendered its right to be a separate nation. But there were many Chinese who would not stand for this disgrace upon their honor, and they started a colony on Neptune, which they called Zhongtien (or 'Kingdom of China'). This started the Zhongtien war, the bloodiest civil war in Chinese history. The Chinese who sided with ALAN managed to defeat the rebels, and the Zhongtien, crippled and humiliated fled the solar system to find somewhere else to settle. They eventually came upon the Mizar and Alcor system, where they settled the planets Mizar IV and Alcor I which they renamed Zhongtien and Kou'ping respectively. Observing the bloody Zhongtien war, and not wishing to repeat the experience with their own independent nation, the Federational Alliance of Qur'anic Nations or Faqeen decided it would be wise to flee as well. The Faqeen were not on the best terms with The Magisterians and the Zhongtien, so they settled Alcor XI, distant from any other colonies. Eventually, a leader rose amoung the Faqeen who was known as 'The Voice'. He or she (there is no historical record of the Voice's gender.) managed to convert all of the Faqeen people back into polytheism. Meanwhile back on Earth, the ALAN and the European Hegemony were cracking down on the remaining neopagans (the ALAN and the European Hegemony were very antipolytheistic). The European neopagans decided they were no longer safe on Earth. Raven Brooke, an influencal neopagan leader, was good friends with one of the Magisterians, and she proposed that the neopagans found their own colony in the Mizar and Alcor system. A colony was founded on Mizar VIII, which was named Reichesir ("Army of the Gods"). While Reichesir, Zhongtien, Faqeen, and Magisteria were settling the Mizar and Alcor system, a force of a completely different kind decided it wanted to take it for themselves. The Xxjinl, an alien species from the nearby Winnecke star cluster decided to take the Mizar and Alcor system for themselves. So began the Colonial War, which is when this game takes place.

They are bipedal and have a man-like build, except with scales and lizard features. They are sort-of primitive but have contructed gigantic, marvelous Aztec-esque temples in various places on Aszjos. They have some types of odd alien-technology though and have obtained access to human firearms from colonizers. Units- Zysoshk Marauder: A Zyshoshk warrior with warpaint on his body and wielding 2 odd swords made of some native metal with two sharp blades next to each other (Looks kind of like Halo 2 energy sword, except not energy, looks more primitive) Zysoshk Jungle Hunter: Another Zyshoshk warrior wearing warpaint. This unit is wielding a long blowgun with a wooden tube but a metal part where you insert the dart and blow into. Ontop of the metal part, closer to where the tube begins, is a small, odd container emerging up filled with darts stacked ontop of each other. Below this container is a square trapdoor-type device. The Zysoshk pulls a primitive lever to open this device, in which the dart falls through into the tube and is ready to shoot, and the lever automatically snaps back after being closed. This way all they do is load the container every once in a while. The blowgun also has a primitive scope on the top. (Note: The dart tips are covered with a fatal alien poison that kills pretty quick.) Techs- Lost Temples: Your workers build faster Dominant Species: Zysoshk Marauders' attack and hitpoints raised Chieftain Warriors: Both Zysoshk units have speed, attack, and hitpoints raised greatly Wild, bestial creatures, the Laoshiin are primitive semi-sentients who inhabit the Zhongtien world of Kou'ping. They are small hunched beings with feline characteristics. Laoshiin are usually bright yellow or orange in color. Laoshiin society is tribal, with shamans lording over the underling Laoshiin. Units-Laoshiin Firethrower: The Laoshiin have figured out how to harness Xiannin, a mineral found on Kou'ping that explodes when exposed to nitrogren. The Laoshiin build devices which mixes Xiannin and nitrogen creating an explosive weapon. Laoshiin Shaman: The leaders of Laoshiin society, shamans tend to stand more erect than regular Laoshiin. They die their fur red as a symbol of their status and wield large firethrowers that throw a special type of Xiannin which throws bluish flame. Shamans can also heal allies. Techs- Xiannin: Infantry have higher attack. Slave Workers: All buildings are built faster. Silicon based lifeforms, the Grndundlin appear to be made of stone and therefore camoflauge very well on the barren surface of Alcor I, also known as Kou'ping. Grndundlin society is not very advanced, but their Silicon bases means that they have developed computer technology very rapidly considering they are primitive society. Units- Grndundlin Crysputer: A gigantic crystal which acts as a sentry device, and a research building. Technologies which add mining can be researched at Crysputers, and they can also fire laser beams focused from Alcor's energy. Crysputers can crawl along the ground slowly, but have higher hipoints when they are still. Grndundlin Crusher: A living siege weapon the Crusher appears to be a giant figure made complete of stone. Crystal spikes come out of its back, and it has crystal eyes set in its face. The crystals change size and color depending on the power of the Crusher, the darker the crystals the more powerful the Crusher. Crushers are good against buildings and against other siege weapons. Techs- Grndundlin Knowledge: Crystal mining techs are researched faster.a Alcor Bounty: Metal and Crystal are mined faster. Crystal Microchips: All techs are researched faster.

The sequel to the sequel of Age of Mythology. Sort of similar but mostly different. Read on to find out how!
Age of Mythology 3 is set about 200 years in the future. Several cultures have fled the ecological and economic cess pool that is Earth, and settled a new star system, the Mizar and Alcor system (Mizar and Alcor are a binary star system within the constellation of Ursa Major). They have also reverted back to their old polytheistic ways.
There are five resources in Age of Mythology 3: Metal, Favor, Oxygen, Energy and Crystal. Metal and Crystal are mined by Workers from deposits around the map. Favor is gotten by praying at Temples. Energy is gathered by Power plants. You can also convert any resources you have into extra Energy. Oxygen is produced by Atmosfilters. There are no dropsites (all resources you gather go into your stockpile instantly.
There are four Ages in Age of Mythology 3: The Settlement Age, The Colonial Age, The Photon Age and The Antimatter Age. Ages are researched at the Town Center, just like in Age of Mythology 1. Other techs are researched at Armories (military techs), Libraries (economic techs), Temples (mythic techs) and Town Centers (general techs).
There are some units which all of the AoM3 races get.

In the year 2156, the ruling council of ALAN lifted the ban on cloning and genetic manipulation. However, there were many strict laws monitering the science of genetic manipulation. In the Mizar and Alcor system, there was no one to regulate the cloning of the native lifeforms. This led to the creation of many monsters who resembled the monsters of ancient legend. Thus, the myth units were born.
