Probably the most modern and most powerful faction to make its appearance in Age of Mythology, the Adventurers faction is a homage to the good old adventure movies set in the mid twentieth century like Indiana Jones, The Mummy and the Rocketeer. The faction takes influence from various western groups, like the foreign legion, the British army, the Nazis and the US military of the 1940s.
Yes, when you play this faction you will be using various vehicles and contraptions as your myth units. You gain favour by getting your archaeologist to gather relics and garrisoning them in your Museum to increase favour.

All units are ranged and have guns. This provides a defensive and offensive bonus.
Become almost unbeatable by the late ages of the game.
The Canteen produces an unlimited supply of food for the adventurers. While the oil derrick provides unlimited gold.
Units are expensive and have weak armour. This makes most infantry weak in melee.
Favour is difficult to get because it requires relics.
Employees don’t hunt but rather you build a canteen to generate food.
This is the third gunpowder wielding faction after the Chinese and Mariners.
Employees harvest wood and gold quicker than their counterparts but have a stronger attack as they use rifles.
Adventurer infantry have weaker hit points put have stronger ranged attacks.
This would be the most modern faction to AOM the second most modern would be the Mariners.
This would be the third multilingual faction, the first being the Christians and the second being the Transylvanians.
This is the only faction that doesn’t fish for food, however it is the only faction to have an amphibious transport.
The trade unit of the adventurers is a trade dirigrible. An airship that travels between markets.
This faction normally has a good guy overtone to its soundtrack and quotes. The sole exception is the imperial tank.
The campaign of the adventurers starts off with Rick, Evelyn and Indy trying to find Alex and getting him to am Sphere. When they get to Am Sphere, the four (Rick, Evelyn, Indy and Alex) are captured by Indy’s nemesis, Rene Belloq and are taken to the Greek islands. Alex however escapes and there is a scenario about him trying to free the adults with the aid of other soldiers. The next two scenarios involve a trip back to Egypt to retrieve the arc of the Covenant and lock it up in Area 51 (But not before Belloq opens it and kills himself and his goons). The next three scenarios take place up North with Rick, Evelyn and Hans Jerspersen trying to suppress the local giant and troll menace while rescuing Alex from Eric Byrnison. The last three scenarios depict a full grown Alex and an elderly Indy helping Alex’s friend Seosamh stop the problems going on between faeries and the local humans.
Indiana Jones is the “de facto” leader of the adventurers and will represent them on the faction choosing screen.
