TwIsTeD_EnEmY did some pretty good runs of this game - however he used pause strats, effectively invalidating his run. I found mission 2 a particularly good watch. https://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/age_of_mythology_speedrun_26.html

These routes are based on his routes. Edit this if new routes are discovered.

Mission 1:

Each wave will occur on a timer after the previous wave is destroyed. Note that centaurs have an attack bonus of 3x vs myth units, and towers have an attack bonus of 5x vs ships.

All waves are kill-able from the outlying peninsula, unless specified below.

Wave 1: 1 ship

Wave 2: 2 ship, 1 kraken (lurable in TwIsTeD_EnEmY's run)

Wave 3: 1 ship, 1 kraken headed for shore (not killable from peninsula)

Wave 4: 2 ships (1 headed for shore, not killable from peninsula)

Wave 5: 3 ship, 1 kraken

Wave 6: 4 armies (krakens and ships don't need to be killed, but killing the ships will kill the armies.) 3 armies head for bottom of cove, 1 army heads for top of cove. No army is killable from peninsula.

Somehow, in TwIsTeD_EnEmY's run of Mission 1, he seems to lure a kraken early - I haven't tried duplicating this.

Mission 2:

Build a Temple and House. Start building a dock, just enough to give it collision. Use 1 trireme to scout the enemy base, and the other 2 to surround your transport (with help from the dock). Load your scout into the transport, teleport it to the enemy base. Use it to lure the enemy units out of the base. Go to Classical age, and build a cyclops. Teleport your army to the enemy base. Teleport peasants to the enemy base, and build a wall out of houses with help from the lure god power to trap Kamos (you cannot build an actual wall too close to a settlement). no need to finish the houses, just give them collision.

This is what the surround should look like. It might work with only 1 trireme, but there is little reason to bother. There is also a shipwreck near the top of the map that gives you gold and lumber if discovered. File:AOMSurroundTeleport.png

I'm trying to upload, but it doesn't seem to be working -_-

Mission 3:

You can do the transport teleport glitch even if you don't have vision of the area you are teleporting. This is not fully tested, but possibly the fastest strat is to send 1 unit down to the town centre to get the workers, send everyone else top with the transport to bypass the wall and take down the dock, use the workers building a dock along with the transports that spawn when you kill the enemy dock to trap your transport, and then use the teleportation glitch to teleport to the other dock.

You can also use the allied transport control glitch to control Agamemnon's transport at the very start. I tried to use this to trap my starting transport, but failed. Maybe it is possible?
