Many unit types in Age of Mythology.
This is a list of all the units in Age of Mythology, including economic and military human units, heroes, myth units, siege weapons, ships, and any other miscellaneous units.
The list is divided according to where each unit is trained. Most units are trained at a building. Units in italics cannot be trained at the building in question but appear there in certain circumstances (given afterwards in brackets).
Units that are neither trained at a building nor appear at one are given under 'Elsewhere'. When a unit is unique to a specific god, the god's name is given.
