Hesperides TreeHesperides is an Atlantean Heroic Age god power in Age of Mythology that is available to worshipers of Theia. When invoked, it creates a Hesperides Tree, a large tree at which Dryads can be trained, and spawns two Dryads next to the tree. Dryads are trained very quickly and cost only 150 wood, making them one of the cheapest myth units. Only five Dryads per tree can be in play at any one time. The Hesperides Tree can be captured by any player if they have enough troops close to it.
Gameplay
The trees serve well for both offense and defense, as they not only instantly provide two Dryads, but also heal nearby friendly myth units. If used for offense, the player must place them safely so they are not captured by the enemy, who will be able to utilize it fully.
In team games, players can intentionally give up control of their Hesperides Trees to their allies so that they can also bolster their numbers with Dryads, who will also be boosted by certain myth technologies provided by their allies' other gods (e.g. Hera's Monstrous Rage).
