One of my favorite modes was "last man on the hill" where the objective was to.well be the last person on the hill, what would happen is usually people would play it "safe" for the first part of the match, they'd have little skirmishes here and there and try to get good positions, but at the end of the match everyone would make a mad rush for the hill to win and you'd get this huge battle of all the teams converging, it was so frantic and just all out chaos and war. Remember entering one of their tournaments they had, I made it past the first few matches then finally lost. You'd find them on the Mill (which was a website dedicated to myth and mods). You had WWII/Vietnam/Wild West mods, new maps/units, just about everything you wanted.

I will never forget playing it, both singl eplayer with it's great story and amazing animated cutscenes and diary narration or the amazing multiplayer that was a blast to play along with all the insane mods and total conversions, it was like the "half life" of RTS games back then. To this day Myth II is one of my top all time favorite games and easily my favorite RTS game of all time. This guy totally knows he's about to get kicked into chunks. The short cutscenes were great at setting a tone. Just follow the steps: (Just scroll down about half way down the page) Once you get in to the lobby make sure to switch server at the top left to join the room with people in it. You can go here to get the Myth 2 demo and use that to play online. Bungie gave the community everything they would need to continue development of the game when they moved onto Halo. The online scene of 2 is still pretty active.
DEMO FOR 2 WITH WORKING ONLINE THAT'S BEEN FIXED BY THE COMMUNITY. Although they will mix it up from time to time with a special unit as well. These are what you mostly use in the single player. You can pick up more scattered around the map. They are like paladins with shovels, although they require a root to heal people and can only carry 9 roots at a time. Sometimes though the explosives will defuse mid air and sometimes at the worst possible moment when you need it the most. They make up with that by lobbing endless explosives, and planting bomb packs on the ground. Great for flanking ranged units or kiting other enemies into traps.ĭwarves - Slow can't defend themselves and have low health. Can also shoot fire arrows that can ignite any explosives on the ground.īerserker - Really fast with good damage with the trade off of having no armor and being easier to kill. Best left near archers to defend them from flanking fast units.īowmen - Weak damage and slow, but can shoot constantly from afar. Warriors - In the middle speed wise but super tanky and do decent damage. Game follows a rock paper scissors formula for the units except the dwarf unit that adds an extra layer of nuclear bomb to the mix. You are out numbered on every map, brute force is never the right way.
#Myth ii soulblighter how to
This is the game Bungie learned how to make a great combat puzzle. The magic comes from while traversing to those objectives you'll be besieged at any moment from any direction, and you'll have to adapt on the spot and form your battle lines or set up ambush traps as fast as you can. You'll find yourself doing basic stuff like defend a point on the map, or escort a NPC, or destroy a specific thing on the map, or just straight up survive. If I had to describe it I would call it small scale Total War mixed with a bit of Warhammer. No resource management, no base building just a few rag tag units for you to control and traverse large maps to tackle different objectives. Soundtracks for both games were composed by the same people that did the Halo music later on. Should give you a good vibe of what the games are. Here's a really well put together video going over a majority of the story of the first game using the premission debriefings, animatics and victory/loss screen art.
