>>1322648

I remember buying it (pirated) when I was around 14~15 and played a bit, but didn't understand much English back then and didn't have internets or the manual so I didn't know how to play it very well...

How has it aged? What are some suggestions to fully take advantage of the game?

I do remember liking the mechanics and the graphics, but that's all.

What a coincidence op. I was just about to make a thread, mind if I hijack yours? Here's the pasta for the marvellous game.

Myth 2: Soulblighter

>What is it?
Real time tactics game and the sequel to Myth: The Fallen Lords. Developed and released by Bungie (when it was good) in 1998. The game is still being constantly updated and played with the latest patch released a few months back.

>But the graphics look like shit
Don't let that put you off, gameplay is incredibly balanced and the detailed physics and gore engine allows for plenty of explosive, dismembering fun. Multiplayer is incredibly addicting too and it will run on just about any toaster. Warning: not for casuals

>So how does it play out?
Plenty of multiplayer game modes including king of the hill, capture the flag, free for all and lots more. Up to 16 players in every game each with an army of their own which they can customize from a selection of units.

>How's the single player?
Continues the story of Myth 1 (the campaign of which can easily be imported into Myth 2), the game spans 25 levels in which you are given a pre determined amount of units with often seemingly impossible objectives to complete. Great story with some interesting narration too. Also lots of opportunity to git gud

Any future updates along with mappacks, total conversions and multiplayer maps along with single player campaigns can be found here. I highly advise checking it out because so many contributions are incredibly well done. Some conversions include Sengoku Japan, Wild West, WW2, Vietnam War and some others I haven't had the chance to try but look promising

I've never actually gotten around to playing any of the Myth games earlier, but i'm going to give it a try tonight.

If it clicks i'll hit up the steam group and embarrass myself online.

Thanks for the Soulblighter download and the other links, at any rate.

I started chipping away at the campaign and i'd be inclined to agree, it seems really good so far. I love the level of detail for the individual units, too.

On a related note, this game does not fuck around. After finishing the tutorial i decided to jack it up to Legendary difficulty, and the game hands me a goddamn zombie apocalypse straight off the bat.

I did like the "humanity is fucked, there is no hope" in Myth 3 while 1 and 2 focused more on proper military efforts and powerful characters on your side who still stood a chance. Myth 3 prologue for the first mission probably represents it the best.

myth 3's main problem is that you're not really playing the game as much as you're playing against and exploiting what you can, especially on higher difficulties when it basically boils down to almost excursively abusing enemy's shitty pathfinding and horrible AI. also, easily kiteable trow should be an offense punishable by death.

Yeah. If you uninstalled it, the game went ahead and deleted everything else on your hard drive, too. They found this out before the game was released, literally by a few days. They had to recall the entire shipment and reprint a new batch.

Because of this, Bungie made no profit from the game and the financial setback was so lasting that it was one of the reasons they agreed to be bought out a few years down the road.

that's actually one of the reasons why I didn't like 3 that much, and not just because it went from a random grunt narrating to the omniscient narrator approach.

Aah, I remember this game. I and my brothers played through it using local multiplayer co-op.

Eventually we died on the very last stage, against the very last enemies (there were 3 left, not counting Soulblighter himself) and nobody could be arsed to go through that huge stage again, so we just agreed that Soulblighter deserved that victory and we could consider the game beaten.

Good times.

Scout ahead and learn what your troops can do well.

Protip: archers suck until they actually get a few kills and become more proficient. You WANT to keep your veteran units alive, but especially you want archers.

Don't worry bro, just think about positioning, keep your archers up front so they can blast any incoming troops but keep them close enough to the main force that they can easily run away and your melee warriors can engage the attackers, always have situational awareness and have your dwarf in the far front dishing out damage, try to go for clumps and micromanage your dorfs to avoid and damage. Make good use of satchels and plant ambushes for the incoming hordes. Also go on youtube and watch some playthroughs on legendary, take note of how the dudes play.

Also make good use of the time slowing feature to plan ahead, I've found that the enemies go for the closest enemy so use your dwarf to deal a shitload of damage to the enemy while softening them up with archers and lure them into a shallow encirclement of warriors, think about formations too. Formations are crucial

I love the AI in this game. Ghols surround me all the fucking time and walk away as soon as they see that my archers' arrows could hit them. However, if they see a dwarf alone, you gon' get raped, son. Not to mention that the computer actually microes. It splits units and advance/retreat when it should. This has to be one of best AIs I've ever seen, even if everything is semi-scripted.

I think the best way to get more people is to start actually playing multiplayer games, specifically coop games. A lot of newer Myth players aren't too willing to join because of how little multiplayer experience they got, coop would help attract more people

I love Soulblighter but to me The Fallen Lords moves slightly ahead of it for the better scenario. In The Fallen Lords it really seems like you are utterly boned as every city in the world falls and most of the legion is put on a suicide mission. Even after you chop of the guy's head you aren't finished.

While Soulblighter had some great new enemies and soldiers it never felt as menacing since you keep getting stronger by doing things like turning the Journeymen into awesome dual wielding ass kickers and getting the Trow. I think this was by design and that replicating the feeling of the first would have been all but impossible but I still preferred the original more.

>>	Anonymous Tue, Jan 21, 2014 17:11:42 No.1354367 >>1354353 It's because Myth 2 is really dealing with the fallout of things from the first game. After all, Soulblighter wasn't Balor. What did you think about Myth 3?

Never played it and don't plan to. The first two Myth games are probably my favorite of all time and I've never had the desire to play the third since I heard it was being made by a different developer. The fact that I only hear nothing but negative things about it now makes me think I made the right decision.

The story turns me off even more because different people wrote it and it assuredly doesn't match up with what the original team's ideas were. I don't care about the franchise because of the name and I think too many people get excited about sequels without looking at who is behind it. It's like those Patterson books written by all different authors.

I remember having a little trouble with the portcullis dwarf mission. The trick to that is to get a few warriors to divert the fire of the bowmen while your dwarf blows up the mechanism, make sure your dwarf is far away enough to make the shot but close enough to the enemy bowmen so that they won't be able to fire and will need to move away to get a shot at your dorf, then you position your dwarf and blow them to bits. Put a charge in the way of incoming warriors as well
