Beautiful new units + great idea for plugin. Amazing job Carlinho! I hope you will find a scripter soon - final polished version will be legendary, no doubts. Cant wait to try coop.

Happy B-Day :)

Small tip for people who ( also ;) ) died horribly during first attempt: read plugin manuals ;)

A great plugin, it is a treat both to play and to look at. The units are rendered in tremendous detail. The above comment is right, the play of the game is just different than most if not all myth plugs that have come before, so reading the manual to learn the units will save you from being massacred. But you can still learn by playing and observing.

This is by far one of the most promising plugins for myth 2. And yes you will be obliterated outside the gate if you do not make a long and wide formation line (like the movie and not a tight one either)MAKE SURE YOU PRESS HOLD-or units will collapse the line. Change both types of Spartan units to have spears.. (Press I for inventory). I also recommend taking 5 spartans and flanking enemy with swords. And protect the king.

I have made it to reinforcements (about half way down the map) then a huge wave comes and destroys you. I hope for your next beta you make it to where you get 300 reinforcements and bring in big elephants, too. I love this stuff.

I recommend everyone gets this plugin and pray the inventor makes a stand alone game (like Greek conquest) or adds new levels soon. The unit detail is amazing. Way better than looking than Rome Total war.

I'd also be interested in a multliplayer map with these units. That beach map is incredible looking!

I also hope you make a tagset conversion for this so we can play Myth maps with your Spartan units.

5 Stars on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome units, awesome gameplay and sick colormap.

quite an awesome demo.

Theres a few nit picks though.

  1. The enemy arcs have insane range that can hit you from out of your sight, so be careful..

  2. The voices are incredibly annoying... when playing this set your volume to either mute or low... (especially at end)

  3. Pathfinding is total shit and frustrating when trying to put up formations
