Age of Mythology is a real-time strategy game released in 2002, built around Greek, Egyptian and Norse mythology, with each culture having its own gods, units and spoken responses. The Norse faction draws on Viking legend and its gods, including Odin, Thor and Loki, giving its units a distinct northern identity. Short voice lines from the game have circulated for years on soundboards and in fan edits because they are instantly recognisable to players. They remain useful as quick audio cues for mythology, Viking and strategy-themed videos.
