I was playing a tg game and I just ran out of laptop battery, so I proceeded to turn it on again and when I entered a room I opened aom as usual, but the screen goes black with the cursor loading, can you help me?

Assuming that you installed your game in its default directory, the game should be installed in:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology

You should also have a shortcut to your desktop.

Right click the shortcut file --> Go to properties
You should see a target field that would probably have something like "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\aom.exe"
You need to change this target to:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\aom.exe" xres=640 +noSound +noIntroCinematics bpp=16 +window +lowend +terrainHalfDensity +lowPoly -waterbump skipMipMapLevels=1 graphicDetail=2

Once that is done, launch the game offline and manually adjust your resolution to your desktop supported resolution and it should work fine thereafter.

EDIT:

Don't forget to change the game path in target to whatever path you installed your game in. The part that I have highlighted in bold must match your installation path.
