Abilities are special actions or effects for units and buildings in Age of Mythology which are either activated by a unit in combat, or are constantly active as a passive effect. Some units have multiple abilities, and certain abilities are conferred after researching specific myth technologies.
In the original game, abilities are not named. Retold adds names and icons to the game's interface for each ability, and adds and changes several abilities.
Manually Activated Abilities
Turn on Auto Scouting for the selected unit.
