Levels in Myth and Myth 2 often had objectives that went beyond merely killing all the enemy units in order to advance to the next stage. In this level, the player has to escort King Alric across a town being invaded by the ruthless Myrkridia to reach a ship docked at the opposite side.
One of the advertised features of Myth 2 was its use of "indoor environments". One part of the Myth 2 scenario featured a siege level to gain access to a keep, and then an indoor level, pursuing a Baron who attempted to escape. Later indoor levels occurred inside the Tain, a mysterious and ancient artifact.
This shot shows more units new in the sequel to Myth- wolves. Here doggy, here doggy... now where's that rock?
Siege levels, whether attacking or defending, were always among my favorites. This one featured an homage to the British comedy series "Blackadder", as the player had to sneak a dwarf in a side entrance, past guards talking about saving up to buy a huge turnip.
Another of the many defensive levels, here the player had to contend with units trying to advance to bridge and blow it up.
These items have been discussed at two of the major remaining Myth sites, MythVillage and MBO, but we'll reference it here just for completeness. MythDev, a group of developers continuing to update and extend Bungie's original Myth games, Myth: The Fallen Lords (TFL for short) and Myth 2: Soulblighter, recently released a patch for Myth: TFL called 1.4. Among other things, it allowed users of Mac OS X to play TFL natively.
However, the patch also broke compatibility with one of the two remaining metaservers for Myth online play: MariusNet. Which, in itself, might not be a huge problem... except that MythDev runs the only other remaining metaserver, PlayMyth.
Jon the Baptist at MythVillage has posted that MalektheAncient has put a new version of the "Creep on the Borderlands" map that was ported to Myth 3 up at The Mill. It now features the original unit count as well as three meshes.
Gholsbane posted awhile back at MBO that there's a second beta version of the Myth 1.4 patch available at Project Magma.
