Age of Mythology: Retold Archipelago Setup Guide

What you need

  • Age of Mythology: Retold for Windows through Steam
  • Archipelago 0.6.5 or newer
  • The Fall of the Trident Archipelago Randomizer mod from the in-game mod platform
  • aom.apworld from this page
  • Your room address, exact slot name, and password if the room uses one

1. Install the in-game mod

  1. Open Age of Mythology: Retold's mod browser.
  2. Subscribe to Fall of the Trident Archipelago Randomizer.
  3. Enable it in the in-game mod manager.
  4. Close Age of Mythology before continuing.

If the campaign does not later appear under Custom Campaigns, copy the subscribed mod into your Steam-ID user's local mod folder as described in the upstream instructions.

2. Install the APWorld and client

Download aom.apworld from this page and open it. Archipelago should install it into:

C:\ProgramData\Archipelago\custom_worlds\

Restart the Archipelago Launcher after installing or updating it. The launcher should show Age of Mythology Retold Client.

3. Create your settings

  1. Open this game's Settings page.
  2. Choose enabled campaigns, starting campaign, final-section rules, item pool, Gem Shop, relics, and god shuffle.
  3. Download the player YAML and use it when creating your ArchipelagoMine game.
  4. Keep the YAML name; it is the case-sensitive slot name used to connect.

Only enable campaigns and pantheons available in your game installation.

4. Connect for the first time

  1. Keep Age of Mythology closed.

  2. Launch Age of Mythology Retold Client from the Archipelago Launcher.

  3. When prompted, select your numeric Steam-ID folder under:

    C:\Users\<you>\Games\Age of Mythology Retold\<SteamID>\

  4. Connect using the room's host:port, your exact slot name, and optional password.

  5. Let the client install its trigger files before starting the game.

5. Play

Keep the Archipelago client connected, launch Age of Mythology, and start scenarios through the mod's Custom Campaigns entry rather than the vanilla campaign menu. Received items and completed checks synchronize between scenarios.

Game updates may disable mods. If the campaign disappears, re-enable the mod before troubleshooting the client.

Report world, client, or trigger problems on the upstream issue tracker.
