How To Build & Use Houses in Age of Mythology Retold

Understanding how to build and manage houses is essential for expanding your population in Age of Mythology Retold. Whether you’re playing as Atlantean or another civilization, houses form the backbone of your settlement’s growth. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about constructing houses, managing population limits, and optimizing your building strategy.

Understanding Houses and Population Basics

Houses are fundamental structures that increase your civilization’s population capacity. You can construct houses using your villagers by pressing Q to initiate the building process. Each house you build will increase your total population by 10.

Population Limits with Houses

You can only build a maximum of 10 houses in Age of Mythology Retold. This means houses alone can only add up to 100 population to your civilization’s cap. Combined with the 15 population you generally start with from your town center, you’ll have a base total of 115 population.

Expanding Population Beyond Houses

If you want to increase your population capacity even further, there’s an additional method available. You can build additional town centers on new settlements by pressing Z. Each additional town center you establish will add another 15 population to your maximum population cap, allowing you to continue growing your civilization.

Atlantean Manor Houses

If you’re playing as Atlantean, you have access to a unique building called the Manor House instead of the standard house. Manor houses are significantly more efficient than regular houses in terms of space and resources.

Manor House Benefits

Atlantean Manor Houses provide 20 population each, which is double the standard house output. However, you can only build a maximum of 5 Manor Houses in total. This means five Manor House buildings give you 100 population, whereas other races would need to construct 10 standard houses to achieve the same population increase. This makes the Atlantean race more population-efficient for settlement building.

Summary

Building and managing houses is crucial for expanding your civilization in Age of Mythology Retold. Standard civilizations can build up to 10 houses for 100 additional population, while Atlantean players benefit from Manor Houses that provide 20 population each with only 5 maximum buildings. Remember to supplement houses with additional town centers to maximize your population growth potential.
