Version 1.6 of Myth II, for which a public beta was available last summer, has now finally been officially released for Mac OS, Mac OS X, and Windows. It's available in the Myth II Updates section of the recently-launched The Tain, an archive for Myth-related files.
Registration will open February 12 for the 5x5 Proelium Standards Myth vTFL tournament, part of the events scheduled this year to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Bungie's Mac and PC RTS game, Myth: The Fallen Lords.
Thanks to Zandervix at Myth.Bungie.Org for the news.
The Power Of Ten is a simple idea: make a Myth map using only ten monster tags. Check their site for official rules. Thanks to PlayMyth for the announcement.
Project Magma, the guys who keep Myth multiplayer alive and provide patches so the game keeps running on updated operating systems, have launched a new website, Myth Vault, intended to be a catch-all archive for Myth-related files, including films, artworks, and even maps.

They come out at night
That's when the match is on
And the dark vs light
And the Warlocks roam
Stock up on fire arrows
Polish your lightning bow
Grab a book from an age
from before Connacht came
You're building a Mythtery
Project Magma has announced the availability of a public beta of version 1.6 of Myth II. The update makes Myth II on the Mac a Universal application, running natively on PPC or Intel hardware, allows it to run in a window on Windows 2000 or XP, and many other new features and bug fixes. This is a final quality-testing release before the final release.
MBO pointed out an unusual Gamasutra postmortem article from last summer which I don't remember seeing before. It's not on a game itself, but of an update to a game. In this case, the 1.5 and 1.5.1 updates to Myth II produced by Project Magma.
With apologies to Gilbert, Sullivan, and HunterX11 who started it.
We are the very model of a modern Halo IRC,
We've information Forerunner, Covenant and UNSC,
We know the prophet hierarchs and quote the drama ILB,
Play Marathon and Halo, too, sometimes even on XBC.
We're very well acquainted, too, with ICQ and IMDB,
About rampant speculation extremely skeptical are we,
With many useless facts about the status of the great journey.
