README
AoM Counters
A lightweight, always-on-top counter companion for Age of Mythology: Retold.
Pick the major god you're playing and the major god you're facing — AoM Counters
shows the opponent's threatening unit types and the units you should build to
counter them. It's a glanceable reference for use while the game is running, not
a strategy guide or a stat database.
Windows 10/11 only. Updates are delivered through winget — run
winget upgrade Rupprath.AoMCounters, or use the Update now button in the
app's About screen when a new release is detected.
Latest release
The current release is v1.0.0. Download the Windows installer directly from

Features
